That’s a great question, Sophie. I can’t see trans women being recognized by theocracies or, despite its past use of hormones for female competitors, the Sovi- Russia. It will be hotly contested.

I've wondered what effect the transgender craze will have on Olympic women's competition. If a (former) man could get classified as a women, he'd have a huge advantage in most sports, everything from skiing to running to figure skating. I'd be surprised if no one's figured that out yet. I can't wait to see what happens the first time a transgender wins a gold medal in a women's competition.
Hopefully, the one good thing this tranny movement brings about is bringing down the massive sports-industrial complex. It'll be worth it if it does.

Then individuals can be free to choose what type of environment they want to compete, in a much more decentralized and non-state-dependent models that hopefully are no longer utter leeches on our collective attention.
It won't bring down the entire thing, only the female's side.

Maybe they would if a bunch of dudes were playing in it.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... ar-BBW7KnG
Mr. Johnson, a 27-year-old law student, said the large field was a great equalizer, and “if at the end of it we get an old white guy, someone who represents the status quo, it’ll be because they’ve proven themselves.”

Ms. Neal, a dental hygienist, made an agonized face at Mr. Johnson, her boyfriend. Wouldn’t something be lost, she asked, if the historically diverse slate of 2020 Democrats was passed over?

“Personally, I’d love to see a woman,” Ms. Neal, also 27, said at the event on Thursday night. “If people are being catty and holding gender or race against a candidate, it would break my heart.”

The overall atmosphere of meekness and supplication was mostly what triggered my revulsion response. Bret Weinstein kinda said the same thing here, at 7:55 in. And the switchboard conversation highlighted it too. It sounded like even the police were hunkered down in their station behind locked doors, and told Weinstein they couldn't protect him.

Didn't know they said ya'll that much up in Washington. Do they recruit exclusively from the South?

Nothing is exclusive about their recruiting, especially when it comes to grades. The term y'all is growing in popularity in the north, and I've heard it spoken outside the U.S. too.

I don't know if this is the reason why, but it's conveniently gender-neutral so one doesn't get admonished for using it, vs "you guys" (not intending it in any gender-specific way).

Makes sense. Yeah, so many European languages have the you-plural. We lost our Ye at some point.

Actually "you" was the you-plural. I think "ye" was a form of it... Perhaps the vocative? "Oh come all ye faithful". It's the thee's and thou's and thine's, the singulars, which we sadly dropped.

Y'all is a pretty good fix: make "you" singular and "y'all" plural. Then there's even another step, what I call the "comprehensive": "all y'all".

Edit: or were you thinking of "ye" as in "ye olde coffee shoppe"? In that case, the culprit is really a missing letter: the thorn - þ - which is the "th" sound. For a while, "y" was used as a stand-in.

Top paragraph, although the shoppe thing is addressed on the same page.

Well there's y'a'll, which is appropriate when addressing two or three, but when addressing a group, I believe the proper term is "all y'all."

Ha. I don't know if I would ever call that "proper" (nor improper), but of course that is very common. Or, if you're just being funny, just skip everything I wrote after "Ha."

Another great entry for the "Shoot self in foot" category:

https://www.popsci.com/new-york-city-ba ... t-vehicles
The New York City Council voted on Wednesday on a group of bills related to ride-hailing, one of which pauses the issuances of new licenses for vehicles that operate for-hire. That means that Uber and Lyft and other companies won’t be able to expand with new cars in the city, because—unlike in other cities where Uber and their ilk operate—those vehicles must be licensed by New York City’s Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC).
...
The bills also have a powerful proponent—New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio. He wrote on Twitter on Wednesday: “Our city is directly confronting a crisis that is driving working New Yorkers into poverty and our streets into gridlock. The unchecked growth of app-based for-hire vehicle companies has demanded action – and now we have it.”
So, Mr. DeBlasio and Mr. Holden. Have you actually paused, during your nice relaxing limo commute courtesy of NYC taxpayers, to consider how many of the people voting for you rely on rideshare apps? and might just be ticked off when they hear about this?

She was indeed being serious, although there is of course the rule where in the negative use, you would drop the 'all' and just use 'ya'll'. For instance, "I AIN'T TAKIN SHIT FROM NONE OF YA'LL!"

That’s where I saw it, actually. The only Imam I’ve ever loved. ❤️❤️❤️

He also once asked why “we (Muslims) make our women dress like parachutes” when they work out and play outside.

"You know ladies, with technology the way it is, we wouldn't have an abortion problem if we applied a plan. Now, I've been told it's a bit radical, but if we allowed men to be castrated, took the sperm to the bank, collected tax dollars on it for storage, then when it's time, to have the man decide he's ready to begin a family.... well then problem is solved!"
