The Salt Mine: Dig Deep, Stay Salty

[marinermick]

You say XX vs XY is the standard for sports, GREAT fine, that’s your position, and it makes sense!
But why are you then dragging in this whole victimisation narrative?

You’re shifting the focus away from fairness to biological women in sports to how trans people are marginalised that’s a red herring.

The issue here isn’t about people’s feelings or politics, it’s about fairness in competition. Are you seriously suggesting that women should just accept losing to men who identify as women because it’s unnecessary political drama to oppose it? That’s exactly what you're doing, even if you don’t realise it.

Because your binary thought patterns cannot understand that there are two separate issues here that are conflicting:
1. Maintaining far and equal sporting competition as much as we can.
2. Maintaining an inclusive and caring community.

I was never discussing tranny community, only fairness to women in women's sports. I thought I made that quite clear.

No, you asked me to clarify the second part of my post. I wasn’t interested in what you made clear or not as I was not replying to that.

if non-sporting trannies want to stop being in the news everytime a tranny beats a woman in sport, perhaps they should hound the tranny competing to stop competing, just a thought.

That lawsuit, filed in federal court in Riverside, California, in April 2016, named Trump and Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, as defendants. It claimed the men held Johnson as a "sex slave" in 1994 when she was 13 and forced her to perform sex acts.

A judge dismissed the case in May that year, ruling that the complaint didn't raise valid claims under federal law, Politico reported at the time.

Another version of the lawsuit was filed in June, but reportedly withdrawn months later. A third version of the suit—with the plaintiff going by "Jane Doe"—was filed in September 2016, accusing Trump of rape. That suit was also dropped months later.

Trump's accuser had been expected to appear at a news conference in early November 2016, but her attorney, Lis Bloom, said she had received threats and was too afraid to show up. Doe's attorney, Thomas Meagher, then filed a notice to dismiss the case, without providing an explanation. The woman hasn't been heard from since.

Alan Garten, Trump's then-lawyer, dismissed the woman's allegations as "categorically untrue" at the time. "It is completely frivolous. It is baseless. It is irresponsible," Garten told Politico. "I won't even discuss the merits because it gives it credibility that it doesn't deserve."

"I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald," she said in the statement today. "The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised 3 children that we love and are very proud of."

Weird how that image from TB doesn't have the newspaper name or the publish date of the newspaper. Not to mention the quality of the article is completely trash.

"THE DONALD STORMS INTO THE ROOM"
"THE DONALD FLING IVANA"

I had low expectations for anyone using a Pepe image as their avatar...but you continue to sink lower.

Might be time to also pack this thread if the level of discourse is always going to be dragged down to this level.

 

[Hello Sailor]

As Paolo typed it is really blown out of proportion in the media and socials because of:
1. Ignorance and lack of education.
2. A deliberate ploy by those in power to have issues like this divide us, and to deflect the masses from real issues that continue to make them wealthier and wealthier.
3. Homophobia, both religion led and not religion led.

One and three are well worn tactics to stifle debate.[Along with 'Stupid' 'Redneck' 'Racist' etc]. They mirror the two reasons to accept that the Emperor has lovely new clothes.
Two is a whacky conspiracy theory. Have you got a reputable reference supporting this?

But they are no longer men when they have transitioned.

Yes they are. A man wearing make up, a dress [even after surgery] is still a man.
In a tolerant accepting society would you agree that someone who paints themselves green and hops around croaking because he identifies as a frog IS a frog?
In each of billions of cells the Y chromosome identifies the man as a man, just as the genes deny that this is a frog.

Does anyone have or know of a resource which is tracking/aggregating commitments made by the parties in each of the Central Coast electorates.

Not really any pledges from either.

Not sure if paywalled. Worked on my phone.

I thought I would go check out what Ads all of the candidates have running on Facebook. Turns out there are very few Coast specific commitments being made thus far.

I just googled their official sites for all the parties (and candidates where I could) involved. Was able to sort out preferences in both houses based on that
