I’ve charged my phone up in the truck for an hour, as it was almost dead. When we lost power, it was 15°C but with the wind it made it feel like 11°C. Wet & chilly. Hours later, we are still without power, & they predict that maybe we all have it back in another two or three hours…

Friends of ours two blocks to the south sent us these pictures. About an hour ago crews arrived to find the above, and then they stood around and looked at each other for about 45 minutes until another fourth crew arrived. Now they’re doing something.

Again, I have no idea how this DSD thing will be resolved, but there’s gonna be unhappy people, regardless, however it is resolved. It is controversial and newsworthy, and thus the reason we are discussing it.

I'm not saying that.



There are, didn't say there wasn't.



Exactly so... I guess then why the issue?



You specifically may not be (though I do think you are, you say you're not so...) but the other people commenting on this are.



Meme's have their place, yeah :D



It's not relevant?

Well I suppose it's not your life at risk so why would it be.

But it absolutely IS relevant, because she was outed by the IBA and despite support for her by Algeria, her life just got lots more dangerous because of that outing. To pretend otherwise is really to not understand the dangers that she, people who are trans, and just anyone who is "not the binary" truly face.



You haven't seen be bowl :p (I am kidding, I used to be good but we've no bowling alley anymore)



That's the thing, it has been.

And yet, here we are, still with too many arguing over it.



No it won't go away, it always was a thing, and always will be. But again, what would your solution be?



1. there is no danger to other competitors; if there was there'd be evidence of it LONG before now. So that line of thought is bullshit.
2. The IBA wasn't just doing this out of national bias. There's a history of corruption there including bias to their own country's boxers. So it's a lot more involved than just 'national bias'.
3. EVERYTHING has been fair about Khelif, or will you demand she give back the Silver medal she won in Tokyo? She wins, she loses, that's how sports is. And I'll repeat what someone else said somewhere - if these women didn't want to be risked getting hurt, then they should not be boxing. Full stop.
4. Khelif has support from other boxers she's fought against. Do they think she's trans? No. They say she's a woman. Do they think the DSD is an issue? Maybe, but that needs to be resolved fairly. That's the thing though, what would be 'fair'? Certainly not denying her status as a woman, nor putting her into a men's division (guess why). IF she were absolutely cleaning house and dominating, THEN there'd be reasonable problems. But she's not.






Wish it was cold here... We've been under heat warnings almost all July and all of August so far. Normal temps should only be 25ish.
Maybe explain why the two males both reached the gold medal round .

OH poor Serryah ☝️☝️

All her squawking about these men being women is now put to rest. They are dudes.

As if the IBA has any standing? As if anyone they would put forward have standing?

Sorry Boom, but genetics doesn't work like you think.

As for this "doctor"... yeah, and there are doctors who believe in other insane shit, like God and that vaccines cause autism.

Khelif is a woman.

Crymore.

"He has confirmed that neither Lin nor Khelif are biological females, and has slammed the IOC for using passports as a system for determining gender."

The International Boxing Association has released a statement reiterating that Imane Khelif was "not eligible to compete within the female category"

The IBA is condemning the International Olympic Committee for allowing her to compete and for not protecting their athletes
