Where do you see slurs in this case?

Lol, wtf. You manage to be actually worse than reddit. Congratulations.

Trans women typically have less masculinized bodies to begin with, and almost universally report a decrease in muscle mass after at least a year on HRT.

Yes, they are in a bad spot where male and female sports both are problematic.

Barring them from women’s sports is barring them from sports in general.

Only competitively, but yes, it sucks and I don't have a good solution to offer either.

If you ban AMAB women who transitioned as adults, do you then ban AMAB women who blocked their male puberty? Do you ban XY women with pAIS? Do you ban XY women with cAIS?

That is what I was getting at when asking if there is any way to allow them into female competitions, without hurting the women participating and facing a lot hatred for being successful. You can try to come up with some abstract rules of evaluating trans athletes' bodies, but that just sounds horrible. I don't see any good solutions for this :(

Trans women largely appear to be on an equal level as cis women when it comes to athletics.

Do you have any sources on this? Why would their biological advantages completely disappear?

If trans women really did have such an advantage we would expect them to dominate top-level play.

That depends on how many compete at the same level, how much support there is for them, and how many strive to compete at the highest level. The biological differences exist, and there is no way around this issue. It isn't a real problem yet, but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't be unfair competition and probably hurt the trans community more than it helps them. It is a shitty topic, but is there any way to allow trans women into female athletic competition without hurting the sport? There is a reason why competitions are separated by sex.

Even though it isn't a real problem (outside of right-wing brains), acting as if the differences wouldn't exist doesn't seem to be helpful either.

They couldn’t even be bothered to throw workers a metaphorical bone

I think it is neutral. Definitely not "concerning". Homophobia would be concerning, but is there any?

Why would this be bad?

And the people who don't eat blood, duh.

Weird strawman and racism. Blood in/as food is quite universal.

Well, I hope that works out. I am not the most positive person when it comes to actually reducing privatisation. Would be great for the Chinese, and my optimism.

Yeah, exactly. It is the same everywhere. Being gay in Belgium or in Russia or in Saudi Arabia? No difference.

Education seems like the West. Private’s generally higher quality; state varies, there are excellent state schools (where Party kids go) and less-excellent ones.

Healthcare overall is efficient and pretty cheap. Quality varies. You’ll probably get better treatment if you go private, but I trust public for little things.

Sounds worse and more privatised than the education and healthcare system of many European countries. Sad :(

As if anyone here could live without proper internet.

Correct. Personally I present a handful of interesting studies and see if she appreciates them too.

Sounds highly scientifical.

Just don't use your skills for evil. There are many programmers who spend their free-time working on open-source projects and contribute to the common good. Most libraries are open. You could have picked a thousand worse fields. And no one stops you from using your money to contribute to good causes either. What are you even talking about?

Racist opinions don't matter.
