          Stupid Stuff Sayers and Shit Opinion Havers play an important part in the ecosystem, get people talking and clicking so their data can be harvested.

        Unfortunately this shit bleeds into real life too often

        I found myself the only person in my department defending Khelif, everyone else is out there talking about "that trans athlete" (not a direct quote, the words used were far more vile). If only it were that easy to ignore, but this garbage breaks containment all the time

          I'm not quite sure what the facts are with Khelif. Doesn't seem to be trans in the "woman in a man's body" sense, but maybe has XY chromosomes and female genitalia or one of those conditions.

          People will react worse to this in boxing than in something like running. It's more on-the-nose.
