| Topic | Bill banning trans athletes from school, college sports passes Florida House |
| CyricZ 04/15/21 5:23:55 PM #72 | voldothegr8 posted... But title 9 happened which completely invalidates your extremely flawed reason why women can't play sports with men in the modern age.Dude, you're not even following the exchange here. Perscamin was asked why women's leagues exist and he goes into this diatribe of science and structure and biology and boy was that not even remotely part of it. And I answered him. Women's leagues were not a carefully crafted fully vetted peer reviewed dissertation with road maps and meticulous implementation. Women's leagues literally exist just because women wanted to play sports competitively, and... they couldn't. And the implementation was scattershot and ultimately kinda sloppy because Title IX passed with little fanfare and suddenly institutions had to comply and had no fucking clue how to do so. --- CyricZ He/him |

Dead wrong No I actually looked this up: https://thesportjournal.org/article/a-history-of-women-in-sport-prior-to-title-ix They wanted to play sports. It started in colleges, and they wanted intercollegiate play and roadblocks of all kinds were put in their way, not the least of which was the idea of women belonging in the home. It took second wave feminism and the passing of Title IX to actually have it be an established thing. It had nothing to do with the NFL or NBA or MLB. EDIT: And it also took Geena Davis and Tom Hanks and Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell. --- CyricZ He/him |

Allowing people with elevated biological abilities to compete in a subset that was created to offer more competition to a group that needed the protection destroys the system.RIP the Olympics, destroyed after allowing trans athletes to compete decades ago. averagejoel posted... this is like 70% of the way to being a halfway decent thesis statement for an essay.Not the least of which is answering the incredibly complicated question "What is 'fair'?" --- CyricZ He/him |

Its not like the NCAA has had regulations for Trans athletes for a decade, or The Olympics have had them for 2, no we need reactionary idiots who haven't done any research to do the real work because think of the children.Which leads to the simple question. Given all the internal practices already in place for multiple organizations, how comfortable are people like Perascamin with the government stepping in on top of that? Perascamin posted...

If the anthem isn't political, then why did the Texas State Senate pass a bill last week that would require all sports games to play it? And I'm gonna assume you didn't mean that for military presentations, because you've got quite a walk to go to convince me that those aren't political. --- CyricZ He/him |

| CyricZ 04/14/21 6:11:50 PM #62 | SPE posted... Wasnt friends a 90s show?Of course. No one is really here to retroactively shame people for having watched it back then. It's more about its "holding up". The article notes that it's still really popular. And it's not to say "you can't watch it". The article literally says as its final paragraph: None of that should stop anyone from binging Friends, but if your LGBTQ+ friends dont join you, there might be a reason for that. Like most topics on these kinds of retrospectives of older media, it seems there's such a knee-jerk response to defend the show or believe people are being shamed or cancelled, when none of that is happening. --- CyricZ He/him |

Like they will make you a custom mask?No they have sizes, but more importantly you need to actually do a fit test to confirm that the mask can fit on your face with no leakage. I'm not sure on the Canadian regulations, but I can't imagine that they're too different from American in that this is an actual documented process that your old pal Cyric has performed. --- CyricZ He/him |
