Though research into hormone replacement therapy (HRT)'s effects on athletic performance is still developing, a study published last year and funded by the International Olympic Committee found evidence that on average, trans women have lower oxygen consumption rates than cis men or women, and may be disadvantaged in competitions that involve metrics like lower body strength and vertical leap height.
 Ok fine, we’ll allow transwomen in the Women’s Competitive Oxygen Consumption leagues.

Based on the statement by Disney following the settlement (glowing towards Gina, and apologetic in tone even while not technically so), I'm guessing the rabbit hole goes deep for cataclysmically-bad, nearly company-ending info and communication found in discovery at LF/Disney (were any to make it into public record through trial).

So yeah, he's done some good imo.
All at the expense of native people, but fuck us I guess. Keep enjoying your racist movies, glad they give you a break from the real world that they make just that little bit harder for us.
Quote:I guess to elaborate a little more - this is part of what is so frustrating with Avatar. If Cameron would just actually listen and respond appropriately, there could be a lot of good in these films. But it's all thoroughly tainted by his pigheadedness. I know the town he comes from, the native population is big there. I know he knows what's wrong with these movies. I know he knows what he should be doing here. What I don't know is why he doesn't - he can still have his vision and it would be better for it. We would be able to appreciate those good aspects without the baggage.
Quote:Sounds about white.
I enjoy the movies from a technical standpoint, but the movies are pretty much just another variation of the white savior trope. Black, brown, and native people can't solve big problems without a white savior in some capacity. The movies do not inspire me at all on a deep level. In fact the only way I can enjoy the movie is by not thinking too hard and just keeping things very surface level like watching a movie from the 1940s.
Quote:Quote:🤣🤣 my man I just got effectively called racist for praising avatar that made a zillion dollars, "enjoy your racist movies"… nigga I'm gonna be real, I don't got much time left here. This last one was a month, I'm cooked
Oh sorry, I forgot natives are just supposed to shut up and let the Avatar fans enjoy their movie. Sorry sir!

The way we've done Youth athletics by first making it boys only, then splitting women off into their own category, is intuitive for people to understand in a gender essentialist type of way. But it's not about fairness, which is why conservatives generally don't include professional sports in their complaints, and generally target trans women. Nor is it about safety, given the amount of data we have with injury rates.
Because if you wanted actual "fairness" in youth and amateur sports, you'd completely tear down the binary framework, and make leagues skill and experience based within age brackets. Because anybody who's been to any youth game, most are lopsided blowouts because the skill and experience delta is only more pronounced, as you said.

I'm gonna give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the particular concerns raising kids. But if you think it's a clever retort to bring up displays of cartoonish violence, I'd just prompt you to try to imagine what kind of real-world harms we're actually seeking to avoid when it comes to the target audiences of a T-rated game.
Do you honestly think we're grasping at pearls out of fright that our toddlers might try to imitate a four hundred pound Russian wrestler flying through the air doing a spinning piledriver? Or perhaps the real concern parents have always had with violence is the omnipresent fear buried in the back of your mind that they might not come from school one day because it's our turn to live through some version of Adolescence (2025)? That perhaps the cultural influences and systemic prejudices being injected into our kids through their media consumption might be increasingly putting them at risk of physical harms due to extremist conditioning?
If you're having trouble deciphering what my through-line is here, let me try to weave it out a little more. The age of children we're worried about with this shit are our adolescents and teenagers; you know, the very ages when we were all going through puberty and first romances. When issues of beauty standards, self worth, gender norms, and sexual behavior all begin to consume your day-to-day life? But now you're armed with the prescient knowledge of all the fucked up shit that entails and the best you can ever hope for is that you've provided your children with enough tools and support that they can survive on their own in an unjust and uncaring world?
If that's still too much subtext, fine, let's just skip to a concrete example and I'll talk about the inevitable question that everyone who raises a daughter hopes will never come up, but which we all know is inescapable. They come home sullen and withdrawn, straight to their room. You softly knock to check in on them, but instead of being rebuffed or accepted, they don't say anything at all. You lean the door open and see they're completely still, head buried in pillows. You take a breath, walk up and sit next to them on the bed, being silent but present, sitting in the moment with them for as long as they need.
Finally there's a sniffle, a wipe of the eye, as they sit up and draw their eyes to yours. Their quivering voice betrays palpable and lifelong devastation...."Dad, am I ugly?"
This shit fucking matters and it's not just about "yucking your yum". You want me to be fucking crass about it? What exactly do you think teenage boys are jacking off to these days, or hell, what are you using as masturbation aides? Forget an increasingly unhinged real-world detachment from the realities of what actual women look like, now we've introduced virtual sex dolls that even porn actresses would struggle to compete with if for no other reason that they age. How exactly do you think we should be normalizing attractiveness of different body shapes and sizes for teenagers that might play video games as their primary mode of entertainment?
Boys want to talk about feeling emasculated and ashamed seeing Marvel tier-physiques everywhere that is impossible to obtain, and I think that's a great conversation to have and a very real problem. But why can't we continue with simply acknowledging the inverse that girls have to deal with everyone they're supposed to emulate being 90-pound beach bikini blondes with FF busts?
You know what the difference is between a boy who feels like no one can ever love him because he's a skinny loser and a girl who believes no one can ever love her because she has the wrong skin tone, curly hair, or smaller busts? The girl will commit suicide, but the boy will murder her.
this is about swimsuit costumes in street fighter btw Yeah, I was fucking flabbergasted when I read this.
Deranged piece of shit literally tried arguing "if we have too much exposure of Chun-Li's thick round booty, girls will start crying to their daddies that they're not good enough to live, and then incel population will murder them"

If you want to talk about distorted self image then look at tiktok, Instagram and popidols Yup. Exactly why these pieces of shit are completely disingenuous on all fronts. He takes an extreme moral high horse stance (i.e, "if you like sexy bikini costumes, then you are complicit in teenage girls feeling suicidal and incels murdering women") but isn't "moral" enough that he'd talk outside of the cult's acceptable targets. He'll take the ultimate browbeating stance, but is too much of a pussy to confront the actual conversation. Because his ideological brainrot won't allow him to criticize real women, which would be the only logical contender possible, so all this insane moral posturing is just fake bullshit.
A girl crying into her pillow and tearfully bemoaning if she's ugly would be due to bad real world interactions, like other girls bullying her for her looks, not a fucking random video game swimsuit costume. Dumbass even brings up porn actresses, and porn actresses are always said to embody an "unrealistic beauty standard".

From the article about the poll Trey is citing in that thread:
https://apnews.com/article/transgender-poll-care-bathrooms-military-trump-b5c9521d3d486e87c8631a99a455df2f wrote:About two-thirds of U.S. adults agree with President Donald Trump that whether a person is a man or woman is determined by their biological characteristics at birth.
The poll found that Republicans overwhelmingly believe gender identity is defined by sex at birth, but Democrats are divided, with about half saying gender identity can differ from biological characteristics at birth. The view that gender identity can’t be separated from sex at birth view contradicts what the American Medical Association and other mainstream medical groups say: that extensive scientific research suggests sex and gender are better understood as a spectrum than as an either-or definition. Unfortunately they don't have splits for the men/women responses to the questions to see if women are more against or for any of this than men.
But I noticed interestingly that in their toplines they ignore the "extensive scientific research" for a binary that inexplicably breaks 50/50 like all of their polls ever:
less oxygen? don't care. Stop taking opportunities away from already opportunity starved cis women.
It's why we need to keep DEI hiring. cis white women benefit the most.

uhm is pedro autistic? because if he's playing an autistic person the actor should be autistic.
