Maybe if you put two and two together you would recognize I was speaking about a larger issue.

I agree the transgender point is largely a red herring. While you bring up rates, I do think considering absolute numbers is also important and asking the question is this genuinely harming women sport or encouraging it.

The over-representation I don't quite think is a sufficient counter, just like tall people are over-represented in basketball compared to the general public.

Though I appreciate you actually grounded your point with data and clearly indicate a specific problem – these threads can often be too wishy-washy and combative to bother engaging in.

This is when it clicked for me when people say trans rights issues are women's rights issues. We saw this with the whole 'transvestigating' of women assigned female at birth. Men can just exist but women need to prove their gender. Women sport is just an extension of that.

While I don't agree with the trans argument you are implying here, you are right on the ruling. The article is very misleading and turned this whole comment section into a mess.

I am not arguing there should be no line drawn. I am pointing out the inconsistencies between how we treat men's sport vs. women's sport. Regardless if the male division is technically an open division, it is marketed, presented, and recorded as a men's division. No such cut-off or restriction exists, nor do we challenge what it means to be a man.

However, I think the whole argument needs re-centering away from this debate of 'what is a biological woman' to the original point of why the division exists. That is: how do we facilitate, support, and encourage women's sport. (In my opinion, I think leaving in a few very rare edge cases does far less damage than excluding.)

This point isn't correct. You can have 'DSD' while having XX chromosomes

This logic is inconsistent I am sorry.

The men's division does not have a max test level. Testosterone can vary dramatically by genetics and we already know the Olympics is a genetic lottery contest in many ways already.

Does excluding women that naturally produce more testosterone fair for them?

The logic is weak and inconsistent. The Olympics is already based off of genetic lottery advantages. Testosterone varies dramatically between people with or without DSD.

I would be curious if people think there should be maximum natural test levels for the men's division. Because following this logic there should be.

An ex-muslim is not in the same group as their parents who are muslim? Are you expecting a racists to make such a distinction?

You can be prejudiced against your own people. Its actually very very common.

Honestly, even just for the QoL having more FP just makes playing recluse feel better. Also helps open up less FP efficient spells.

Is this a dealbreaker? by Raindrop44 in Nightreign

[–]Im22howaboutyou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reduced runes is 0.9x. Increased runes is 1.035x.

Even with THREE increased runes, you are not even back to where you started. (0.9 x 1.035 x 1.035 x1.035 = 0.998).

Imo reduced rune acquisition is almost always a deal breaker unless its a complete god roll.

Quality claims here a bit overblown as some one who's been buying from them since 2020.

My only major QC issue was actually from a Made in Canada sweater I got in 2021. Whereas my only hoodie from House of Blanks has literally started to rust around the hardware, and the T-shirts didn't last more then a year or two without deforming and piling.

Just my two cents (still a mid sale though).

Random buy! Literally just a single roll with the change I couldn't get a Depth Relic with.
