I never thought about it that way but that makes perfect sense.

they have found that going through male puberty gives a person who transition afterwards an advantage over cis women
Did they also find that short women have an advantage over tall women? How about lighter women having an advantage over heavier women? How about women having an advantage for having more muscle mass? How about people with androgen insensitivity syndrome? Or XX male syndrome? Intersex people?
My point is people will always have advantages somewhere (and there’s no clean place to draw the line); no two people are built the same, which means you absolutely can have – and do have – trans women (who went through a male puberty) with no advantage over cis women. The UCI won’t even allow those women on a case-by-case basis, which is absolutely 100% transphobic.
An actual solution is to divide racers up by skill class and stop gender segregating sports, and to stop caring so much about who wins, but that will never happen as long as money is involved.
Everyone cries about “fairness to women” and “fairness in women’s sports” when what they mean is “keeping sports exclusively for cis women”; trans women are women, but almost no one cares about fairness for them.
The UCI is also transphobic and doesn’t let trans women compete with cis women.
Unfortunately North Carolina’s current abortion law is 12 weeks. That’s unacceptable.
Right?? The bank already makes money off the money people put into the bank. Now the bank is saying that their unethical practice of stealing people’s money isn’t as profitable as they want so they are going to unethically steal from everyone a different way that they can’t stop or say no to?

When the tape drive fails and eats your tape in the process, you better hope you have a second backup or you’ll be crying salty salty tears.
I worked in the service center for a tape-drive manufacturer and I would routinely see the drives we got back for repair. They were often taken apart by the customer in a frantic and desperate attempt to get their cassette out. The cassette was almost always still in there though, with multiple feet of tape snagged and wound around everything.
You’re going to have to drink indoor pool water like the rest of us. It has all the bromine you’ll need, and more!
That’s not cool at all.
It’s always a little disturbing when clearly the headline must be from The Onion…but then it’s not.

Does anyone else see the creepy upside down smiley face in the corner?
“He’s old.”
He actually said on camera that the reason he is running this time is because Trump is running, meaning that if Trump wasn’t running, Biden wouldn’t be running, meaning he doesn’t even really want the job.
The DNC put up a guy that doesn’t even want to be president again, and now 40% of democrat voters want a new nominee because apparently they weren’t paying attention for the last 4 years and only realized now, during the debate, that Joe Biden is dealing with cognitive decline.
Some of us aren’t against GMOs for being genetically modified, we’re against patents on food.
Sorry you have to deal with this. I know it wasn’t in your list of options, but you could attend HOA meetings, bring up the internet issue and see if they’ll change the current setup, or you could get elected to an HOA board and start pulling the strings of change. That’s more of a long-term goal though.
The parent(s) did the crime, the toddler did the time. Don’t let the parent(s) own firearms anymore and be done with it. Prison time isn’t going to do anyone any good; the parents had more than enough taken away from them already.
What a sad and unsurprisingly common story this is.
