Our culture confuses sport with competition.

Sport is about enjoyment of one's physical abilities, co-ordination and prowess. Many sports can be practiced solo. Even team sports can be enjoyed without score-keeping.

Competition is about 'winning' - i.e. outperforming adversaries. This immediately raises the question of how to make competitors 'start from a level playing field.' In truth that's practically impossible; no two people are identical to start with. But attempting to enforce it gives rise to some complex, bizarre and unworkable rules about what/who is fair/acceptable. Questions about gender identity can be an example.

"Scientifically there's no such thing as transgender"

The statement is both moronic and oxymoronic. Nice trick!

Scientifically, you can't prove a negative.

This is very similar to the black vs negro vs nword thing.

When I was young they were called negro or coloured and there was much brohaha when the word black became prevalent.

Who could call who what.




If we BANNED the use of the word "liberal"...................


would hemerHOID stop spewing LIES????????????



In support of such vile creatures?????????????????????

If you have a dick you’re a male if you don’t have a dick you’re a female.

In some cases that ACTUALLY IS NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I read a book about the struggles of a person who was born Hermaphrodite.........................


that is - with BOTH male and female genitals........................


and doctors FELT OBLIGATED to make a GUESS................


as to which gender the baby should be assigned to...............


and surgically removed one set of genitals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And GOT IT WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Two sets of genitals and one mind - oriented to the MISSING GENITALS................................


and NOT IDENTIFYING with the remaining genitals and the social position such genitals entailed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I - for one accept - THERE ARE A FEW GENUINE TRANSGENDER PEOPLE OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


However I also accept the SUICIDE STATISTICS THAT PROVE that the majority of people who identify as transgender.................


ARE MAINLY EMOTIONALLY DISTRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And gender reassignment WILL NOT FIX A DAMAGED MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As for men surgically becoming women and then competing in beauty contests or sports.............................


against REAL WOMEN - that is INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How can a "woman" who has been "CREATED" in a lab or operating room................................


legitimately compete against women who have NOT had any surgery or drugs .....................................


to improve or alter their appearance or performance?????????????????????

On this subject, more than eunuch!


But..................uh........................


THE EUNUCH HAS LESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Even worse - the typical Eunuch had no control over his urine flow!!!!!!!!!!!


And thus dribbles constantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And does not smell so good either ..................


as the Eunuch is enveloped in a..........................



constant odour of stale urine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


According to reports from the Imperial Chinese Court.............


from the 1800`s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In the Chinese method it was expected that the entire male



genitals - be removed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In exchange for this sacrifice.........................


one got a very high prestige job for life.........................


at the Chinese court - complete with major behind the



scenes political influence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



By comparison, the Italian Opera Company Castrato simply



had his testicles removed - but with penis remaining in place-



before Puberty - to ensure he kept his ability to hit



the high notes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Isnt that nice????????????????

IMO it's a matter of respect.
If someone Native asks you to say Native American, you use that. If it's Native Indian, use that.
If it's Black, use that. African American, use that.
Trans, use that.
Words and concepts get updated all the time.
From this day forth I shall be referred to as Emperor.

Check with tyee news. I am sure they will give you the answer you seek. It will be wrong but it will be the one you seek.
"Words and concepts get updated all the time."

Words get misused and abused and misappropriated and misunderstood all the time, as well as being used as stand-ins for ill-defined concepts; causing endless, sometimes deliberate confusion and defeating their proper function which is - - - communication!
