Shambles > Cesspools"Thread is a damn cesspool"
As I have said on here many times before, the last thing black folks need to be consuming or connected to is weed. Unless your an artist and in a profession where it’s acceptable, not that I agree with that though. Be it good, bad, right or wrong BG did 10 months in jail for weed. That should be a wake up call for any and all black people that smoking weed in many parts of the world, including America will land in you in jail behind bars. Ain’t going to be no “Bring Jaylen Home” campaign if and when that brotha gets locked up for weed.
I say this because unfortunately we have a lot of our young kids being followers and smoking weed. I had to educate this young brotha up a few weeks ago that goes to Eastern High School in DC (shout out to DCAllAfrican ) that was smoking weed in my presence. Pulled him like Principal Joe Clark grabbed Sams back in the day on the rooftop. Had to explain to him……”Do you know what smoking weed does son…….it kills your brain cells son it kills your brain cells….now when you destroy your brain cells your doing the same thing as killing yourself but your just doing it slower”. Had little man crying in shame and in a look of defeat once I broke it down to him like that. Told him to grow up in life and do something positive…..don’t become a loser out here on the corner smoking weed. He agreed.
Conservatives have spent the last few years being super transphobic because they just care oh so much about Women's Sports. They just love women's sports and women athletes that we have to further humiliate and ostracize trans women. Never mind that those trans women athletes have taken estrogen and testosterone blockers and have the same hormonal makeup and muscle building capacity (or lack thereof) as cis women and therefore have none of the physical advantages that cis males would have is cis males competed in women's sports. America must keep the "boys" away from girls' sports.
And then the BG prisoner swap happens and Conservatives revert right back to making fun of the WNBA and how worthless and unimportant it is. If these AM radio listening CHUDs have so little respect for the top women's professional basketball league, I doubt that they care about girl's high school track and field or swimming or beach volley ball (well maybe they do but for very different reasons than respect for their athletic abilities).
I wonder where conservatives will go from her, will they continue to act like they respect women tennis and squash players as an excuse to marginalize and otherize trans women or will they so "f--- it" and imagine how create a full on Juwanna Mann scenario would be.
As always, big Daddy Don, provides the answers.
Not since the East versus West Baltimore Classic in 2002 have we seen such vulpine levels of coaching genius.
Our once and future President should start being called "Proposition Donald" or "Prop Don" for short.

I disagree completely with your first paragraph.
But the second one was on point.
Fair enough, I am wondering why you disagree with the first paragraph?
I'd agree that a trans woman, who doesn't take hormones/hormone blockers of any kind, is definitely getting a very big advantage over cis women and probably an advantage so great that it would drastically throw off competitive balance in certain sports. It would be akin to an athlete taking steroids and HGH like Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire were doing in the late 90's and early 00's.
Now, that's not to take away from that trans women's validity as a trans person. Some trans people prefer to only socially transition which is to say, present as feminine and have it affirmed by those around her using she/her/hers pronouns. Or she might only use HRT for a short period of time and/or take it in very small doses to develop secondary sexual characteristics like less body hair or smoother skin but overall, her body still has enough testosterone to give her major advantage in strength and quickness.
There's also people who are non-binary and where they would play, in men's or women's sports? Someone with testicles who is non-binary but leans femme could have a similar advantage as a trans women who is doing little or no medical transitioning and prefers to only engage in the social side of transitioning.
As far as I have seen though, whenever I've seen conservative media complain about a trans woman (whom they disrespectfully call a man or put quotes around her feminine pronouns) being successful in any given sport, the trans woman seems to have been taking testosterone blockers and estrogen HRT, in other words, she competed with the hormonal makeup of a cis woman against cis women. That seems pretty fair.
Eventually, there will be a situation where a trans women or a testicles-having femme leaning non-binary athlete will wish to compete as woman, in accordance to their/her gender identity but have much higher levels of testosterone than their/her competitors. That is an ethically tough situation if you truly care about inclusion as well as fairness in sports, which I think we agree on that premise. This stands in stark contrast to conservatives who only want exclusion and don't care one bit about fairness or women's sports.
I'm not an ethicists nor a biologist so I could be totally wrong but I think the obvious solution is to basically have a testosterone cut off point and those above the threshold would be on the men's team and those below, they'd be on the women's team. I see that as no different from having 6' feet and under basketball teams, age groupings for AYSO soccer and Little League, and weight classes for combat sports. If I were in total and complete charge of the country because I bore the title "The Sword of History, Servant of the Workers, and Protector of the People's Mass Line, " I'd have the above/below testosterone division for sports, formerly called "men's" and "women's" teams renamed something totally arbitrary to distance it from gender and the hierarchies and violence and exclusion used to uphold it. I would just go full on old school Jacobin and call one group Cloud and the Other Fog.
In 2052, it'd be totally normal for college kids to ask if they saw their school's Cloud Basketball team's thrilling game winning buzzer beater, and the classmate might reply, "I sure did. Also, want to check out the how our fog basketball team will do tonight? the game starts at 1:80 post meridian?
Yes, there will be metric time under my regime. Metric time and a society so equal along gender lines that there would be no need to uphold cis male privilege without social exclusion, violence or threats of violence.
