Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/ ... n-commentsThe former Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova has been criticised for “disturbing, upsetting, and deeply transphobic” comments after she argued that allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sporting tournaments was “insane and cheating”.
The tennis player and gay rights campaigner first drew criticism from equalities activists and trans athletes when she tweeted in December: “You can’t just proclaim yourself a female and be able to compete against women. There must be some standards, and having a penis and competing as a woman would not fit that standard.”
Writing in the Sunday Times, Navratilova said she had subsequently promised to keep quiet on the subject until she had done some research on it. “Well, I’ve now done that and, if anything, my views have strengthened,” she wrote.
“To put the argument at its most basic: a man can decide to be female, take hormones if required by whatever sporting organisation is concerned, win everything in sight and perhaps earn a small fortune, and then reverse his decision and go back to making babies if he so desires.
“It’s insane and it’s cheating. I am happy to address a transgender woman in whatever form she prefers, but I would not be happy to compete against her. It would not be fair.”
Her comments attracted criticism across social media. “We’re pretty devastated to discover that Martina Navratilova is transphobic,” tweeted the rights group Trans Actual. “If trans women had an advantage in sport, why aren’t trans women winning gold medals left, right and centre?”
Under guidelines introduced by the International Olympic Committee in 2016, trans men are able to compete without restriction, while trans women must demonstrate that their testosterone level has been below a certain cutoff point for at least one year before their first competition.
Previous guidelines, approved in 2003, required transgender athletes to have reassignment surgery followed by at least two years of hormone therapy in order to be eligible to compete.
“Simply reducing hormone levels – the prescription most sports have adopted – does not solve the problem,” wrote Navratilova. “A man builds up muscle and bone density, as well as a greater number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells, from childhood.”
Following her comments in December, Navratilova was criticised by Rachel McKinnon, a Canadian academic and cyclist, who in October became the first transgender woman to win a track world title.
“McKinnon has vigorously defended her right to compete, pointing out that, when tested, her levels of testosterone, the male hormone, were well within the limits set by world cycling’s governing body,” wrote Navratilova on Sunday. “Nevertheless, at 6ft tall and weighing more than 14 stone, she appeared to have a substantial advantage in muscle mass over her rivals.”
The tennis star said she had been “pretty put out” by McKinnon’s accusation that she was transphobic and said she deplored “what seems to be a growing tendency among transgender activists to denounce anyone who argues against them”.
She pointed to her friendship with Renée Richards, the transgender tennis player who campaigned to be able to compete in the women’s US Open, and her support for Caster Semenya, who is fighting a legal battle to be able to compete without taking testosterone-suppressing medication.
In a statement to the Guardian, McKinnon described Navratilova’s article as “disturbing, upsetting, and deeply transphobic”. “She trades on age-old stereotypes and stigma against trans women, treating us as men just pretending to be real women. She seeks to deny trans women equal rights to compete under the rules,” she said.
“And the current rules, such as the International Olympic Committee since 2003, explicitly welcomes trans women to compete at the highest levels. I suppose it’s too much to ask for Martina to simply do the same.”
Following McKinnon’s win in the women’s 35-44 sprint during the UCI Masters Track Cycling World Championships in Los Angeles in October, Jennifer Wagner, who came third in the race, complained that the result was unfair.
McKinnon responded by saying Wagner had beaten her in 10 of their last 12 races. “This is what the double bind for trans women looks like: when we win, it’s because we’re transgender and it’s unfair,” she said. “When we lose, no one notices (and it’s because we’re just not that good anyway). Even when it’s the same racer. That’s what transphobia looks like.”
A spokesperson for the LGBT rights charity Stonewall said: “Sport should be welcoming to everyone, including trans people. We need clubs and governing bodies, as the experts, to consider how their sports’ individual policies can work to be as inclusive as possible, and what advice and guidance they’re giving to ensure all people, including trans people, can take part in sport.”

Made lapin-à-la-moutarde yesterday with fake meat. Wasn't bad, and no doubt improved by remembrance of the hundreds of lapins I shot in my youth performing vermin control in Wales. One cartridge, one rabbit. Two cartridges, one meal for the family. So it went.

"synonyms: type, sort, kind, genre, style, variety, category, class"? I can live with that ... ;-)
All sciences have had their teething phases, their two-steps-forward, one-to-three-or-more-backward moments. Democritus & his atoms for example:
Leon Lederman's The God Particle - highly recommended.He seemed surprised. "You found a knife that can cut off an atom?" he said. "In this town?"
I nodded. "We're sitting on the main nerve right now", I said.
With apologies to Hunter S. Thompson
And I expect taxonomy is no different - reminds me of Dawkins' characterization of the science as "one of the most rancorously ill-tempered of biological fields" [The Blind Watchmaker; pg 275]. Many different hierarchies of classes or categories that can be created, only one of which is, typically, an accurate representation of the evolution that actually took place.
Am disappoint ... :-)MarcusAu wrote: ↑ I quick google led me to this paper: Taxonomy of Centaurs and Trans-Neptunian Objects - which I don't think can quite live up to it's title.
But reminds me of an old cartoon seen, lo these many decades ago, in Playboy which showed the proprietor of a bookstore and friend standing outside the store which had a long line of people waiting to get in to buy a book advertised in the window with the sign saying, "Seventeen new mating moves. Newly translated from the French". And the proprietor says to his friend, "First time I've ever seen a book on chess sell so well" ... :rimshot:

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
If you're a "vegetarian" who likes seafood, go for shrimp and lobster. They're about level on the evolutionary ladder with cockroaches. Fish seem to have an emotional life, if you stretch you imagination a little. Cockroaches, not so much.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Some of the non fish eaters will eat oysters.
A lot of animal rights/ faux-environmentalists don't have any regards for the rights of fish to even exist. In this area, we have had a huge overpopulation of Harbour Seals and California Sealions that have been destroying entire runs of salmon and steelhead and permanently decimating the gene pool like nothing that has been seen probably since the ice age yet they demand that the fisheries authorities not do anything to control the populations. Meanwhile, the resident Orca pods have been dying out because of lack of salmon despite fishing closures*. Their solution? It must be boats that are causing it, let's get rid of commercial shipping.
* The fishing closures of course don't stop the seals and sealions from eating the fish the orca rely on.

For whatever reason, the local orca don't attack or eat other marine mammals, only salmon. Strange but true. Sometimes another pod will come in, but mostly we eliminated natural predators of the critters. The local injuns used to hunt them, but are worried about bad press if they resume.

There is a weird thing about them having a dietary quirk where if they will starve to death unless they get high oil, easy to catch fish, (chinook salmon) .
Meanwhile, there are other Orcas that are pretty much genetically similar that only eat marine mammals, like the seals and sea lions that we want to get rid of. They do come around and chow down on the local seal/ions. They are known as transients. Unfortunately they aren't doing the job of keeping the sea dogs in line.
You would think picky eaters (caviar or I starve) and salmon racists wouldn't get compassion of the libtard types, but they do. :ugeek:

Over here in Blighty, and group of disaffected Labour MPs have left the party to become independents, owing to Corbyn's highly lukewarm attitude towards antisemitism and Brexit. Amongst them is prominent fey Remainer Chuka Umunna, he of much 'People's Vote' malarkey and prissy disdain for Brexiteers. Tweet of the day on the matter so far:

They shouldn't call her a "teenage bride". They should call her a "female ISIS volunteer". She's not a victim, she aided and abetted (at best) mass murder, mass rapes, and attempted genocide. Fuck her. I don't give a shit that she was young when she joined ISIS. Irma Grese, the "Hyena of Auschwitz", was only 18 when she joined the SS.Asked if she was aware of IS beheadings before going to Syria, she told Sky News: "I knew about those things and I was OK with it. Because, you know, I started becoming religious just before I left.
"From what I heard, Islamically that is all allowed."
What a curious way of wording this answer. Not "I didn't do anything illegal". It's "they don't really have proof" that she did anything "dangerous". Very interesting indeed, especially coming from someone who was and still IS OK with things like beheadings."They don't really have proof I did anything that is dangerous."
Now THIS is someone who shouldn't be let come back or even close to the UK, no matter how much she begs to. Ideally having voluntarily joined ISIS should make you lose your original citizenship, and we should let Syrian or Iraqi justice deal with the ISIS prisoners.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/ ... n-commentsThe former Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova has been criticised for “disturbing, upsetting, and deeply transphobic” comments after she argued that allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sporting tournaments was “insane and cheating”.
The tennis player and gay rights campaigner first drew criticism from equalities activists and trans athletes when she tweeted in December: “You can’t just proclaim yourself a female and be able to compete against women. There must be some standards, and having a penis and competing as a woman would not fit that standard.”
Writing in the Sunday Times, Navratilova said she had subsequently promised to keep quiet on the subject until she had done some research on it. “Well, I’ve now done that and, if anything, my views have strengthened,” she wrote.
“To put the argument at its most basic: a man can decide to be female, take hormones if required by whatever sporting organisation is concerned, win everything in sight and perhaps earn a small fortune, and then reverse his decision and go back to making babies if he so desires.
“It’s insane and it’s cheating. I am happy to address a transgender woman in whatever form she prefers, but I would not be happy to compete against her. It would not be fair.”
Her comments attracted criticism across social media. “We’re pretty devastated to discover that Martina Navratilova is transphobic,” tweeted the rights group Trans Actual. “If trans women had an advantage in sport, why aren’t trans women winning gold medals left, right and centre?”
<snip>
Following her comments in December, Navratilova was criticised by Rachel McKinnon, a Canadian academic and cyclist, who in October became the first transgender woman to win a track world title.
“McKinnon has vigorously defended her right to compete, pointing out that, when tested, her levels of testosterone, the male hormone, were well within the limits set by world cycling’s governing body,” wrote Navratilova on Sunday. “Nevertheless, at 6ft tall and weighing more than 14 stone, she appeared to have a substantial advantage in muscle mass over her rivals.”

Strange that a group of people so vociferous in their calling for a "Peoples Vote" 2nd EU referendum are suddenly quiet on the prospect of giving their constituents the chance of a by election.Tigzy wrote: ↑ Over here in Blighty, and group of disaffected Labour MPs have left the party to become independents, owing to Corbyn's highly lukewarm attitude towards antisemitism and Brexit.

For about 2 months Peez and Zvan have stupidly been ignoring their donation stream. It's pretty much dried up, with no contributions in a month. If they don't get back to grovelling, they're on the hook for $20,000.
Randazza is someone they really shouldn't piss off.

We sent it up on a 90-day job and the little fucker carried on for another 14 years!
Funny tidbit: It spent most of those years travelling backwards after damage to a front wheel.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Today there has been a whole litany of bleeding heart virtue signalling 'clebs' politicians and blue check twitterati calling for her to be "brought home" so she can be de radicalised and turned into some beacon of humanity that will magically encourage other vulnerable teenage children not to listen to those nasty Islamist groomers on the internet. And of course now she's dropped the sprog .. "wont someone think of the baby" .. These are the same type of naive tossers who advocate for the voting age to be lowered to 16 because young people are so woke. They are also the very same who are ultra quick to dismiss anyone who has warned of the increasing radical Islamisation within the madrassas and mosques in our inner cities as bigoted Islamophobic racists.Kirbmarc wrote: ↑ What a disgusting human being.

They shouldn't call her a "teenage bride". They should call her a "female ISIS volunteer". She's not a victim, she aided and abetted (at best) mass murder, mass rapes, and attempted genocide.

What a curious way of wording this answer. Not "I didn't do anything illegal". It's "they don't really have proof" that she did anything "dangerous". Very interesting indeed, especially coming from someone who was and still IS OK with things like beheadings.
Now THIS is someone who shouldn't be let come back or even close to the UK, no matter how much she begs to. Ideally having voluntarily joined ISIS should make you lose your original citizenship, and we should let Syrian or Iraqi justice deal with the ISIS prisoners.
The thing is, everyone knows she'll be back here within a few weeks because our government is so weak. I despair at the road my country is blindly going down. It's my grand kids who will have to pick up the tab.
