    I'd put myself in the "persuadable" category, but yes, all of this tracks. We want everyone to live with dignity in the lifestyle of their choice. But arguing that it's fair to let a natal male literally swim laps around the competition on the girls' swim team -- an uphill climb indeed.

    I guess I would have to be persuaded to care about it in the first place. I'm not involved in youth sports, and the hyper-competitive aspect of such is distasteful anyway. My only engagement with this is anti-trans activists trying to make it a wedge issue. Not very interesting.

    Without looking, let me guess who gave you the tl;dr rep, Dicky. *looks* Yep it was Dicky because he's predictable and unwilling to even attempt to learn anything that goes against his chosen narrative, but no, he's not a partisan troll. Nooo.:dayton:

    I don't owe @Jenee jack shit and it's no that I'm unwilling to learn. Also her asking me a question does not prove that I'm unwilling to learn, it means I'm not going down her stupid road.

    You keep telling yourself that, Skippy.
    Chant it in a mirror enough, you just might finally believe it, and be able to sleep tonight.

    Here's a hint, once a guy's balls are snipped, he loses muscle mass.

    Then why is it a big deal? You yourself have posted here about the inherent differences between men and women and the number one difference, aside from genitalia, is muscle mass. So, if a trans woman no longer has the muscle mass that a man does, why shouldn't she be allowed to compete?

    In all seriousness, maybe you should take a break for a bit?

    I've been taking two days a week completely off social media for like a year now, and found it's helpful.

    That's not how the internet works, son. :async:

    Seriously, if this place isn't sparking joy lately, maybe go hang out on Reddit for a while. You're not getting paid to be the boards punching bag. You're not going to win a medal for staying somewhere that's making you miserable. Life's too short to spend it suffering needlessly. :shrug:

    You've seen this happen before. Everyone piles on one person, that person flips out, and everyone piles on more. If you don't want to deal with it, take a break. If you want to keep getting pissed off, keep posting until someone else becomes the main character of the day.

    You know, I tried to engage with @Ancalagon and I did and he didn't give me shit for my opinion. It was enjoyable. If I or other people who don't tow the WF line post anything you guys don't agree with all you see is a dog pile and :finger::facepalm::blink: tl;dr and fantasy reps. Certain people think that's some sort of counter argument so it pisses me off. If you got something to fucking say, say it. It would be much more enjoyable to actually have a discussion without being douche bags towards each other than have people just outright dismiss everything you say for reasons. So yeah, it pisses me off, sorry. And when I get pissed I just want to lash out or be a douche back. It makes me look stupid I know, but in the moment I don't care. I've never been good at articulating myself or arguing a point. I only know how I feel about certain subjects, I know what's in my heart, as some might say.I know what I think is wrong or right, but a lot of times I can't articulate it the way I'd like to so it makes me look stupid.
