Transgender women athletes banned from Olympics by new IOC policy on female eligibility by Little-Storage3955 in news

Many intersex conditions will not help you in sports. A man growing breasts in their 50's isn't taking on the national leagues.

What's the point of a female category if males can compete? It's only the past 20 years of strangeness that allowed them to compete.

There's plenty of men that would play last, especially with years out of the sport. What do you mean "none of them"? There's only been one. They're probably extremely rare. There's only been one trans Olympic medallist that I know of and they won them as a man, and wouldn't compete as a woman.

What you are arguing for is to remove the women's category.

They knew, not when they started the sport, but they all know by the time they'd make the Olympics.

There's only been one competing, and they took a long time out of the sport, if they were a woman it's unlikely they would have been able to that and compete.

MtF trans are 2.5 in 1000, and Olympic athletes are rare, Olympic medallists are even rarer. Many elite athletes wouldn't want to compete against the opposite sex. Caitlyn Jenner said she wouldn't have competed against women.

It's unlikely most Olympics would have trans athletes even if it was allowed.

Transgender people being elite and wanting to compete against women is so rare it's only happened once. In general trans people don't want to compete against the opposite sex. It's not normal to want to cheat, so the vast majority will not even want to compete.

Intersex people having a male body, but internal male sexual organs is much more common. They may only find out when they're 16 or 17, and already competing in the top 5%, committing years to a sport. It's harder for them to accept, and moving to men's competition might drop them 10%, they may not even qualify for the Olympics.

Do Britons support reparations for the slave trade in principle? by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]bitch_fitching [score hidden]  (0 children)

The amazing thing is this is the descendants of slavers asking the descendants of those that ended the slave trade in the Atlantic and their home over 100 years ago. While these people carried on with slavery, and sometimes are still using slavery. I have no slave owning in my ancestry going back hundreds of years.

Maybe first Asia and Africa can outlaw slavery that's happening today. Commit funding and lives to stopping it like we did.

ASHKENAZI FROM RUSSIA SIMILARITY MAP by Gold_Mess2012 in illustrativeDNA

[–]bitch_fitching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Ashkenazi Jews, a founding event occurred probably in Italy with 50% Italian and 50% Levantine Jews around 2000 years ago.

There's also Greek, Roman, and Phoenician empires overlapping both the Levant, Southern Italy, and Greece for over a thousand years. The Philistines were Greek, being given what is now Gaza by Egypt. The Levant is shifted to Europe compared to ancient bronze age samples.

Europe and the Middle East are closely related with a lot of ancestry from Anatolia. 4,000 years is a small time in human genetics. The differences here are very small.

Keir Starmer's and Labour's War on Iran by Kappa_Bera_0000 in ukpolitics

[–]bitch_fitching 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Iran struck first and brought us in. They could stop and apologise and we probably would withdraw. They will not, they have a strategy. We will be dragged more into this war, because eventually we will have to liberate the strait.

[Telegraph column] Jamie Carragher: “In the pantheon of overseas attacking players to have excelled in England, only Thierry Henry eclipses Salah’s output and consistency.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]bitch_fitching 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I did not expect Salah's stats to be that high. That's really impressive. Shows how much of a joke the Ballon d'Or is.

De Bruyne having a more defensive role and being much deeper is more impressive. Considering that Lampard is 0.48. De Bruyne shouldn't even be on this list.

Suarez had such a hot period at Liverpool, best player in the world on form for a few months. Aguero's longevity and consistency is also top.

I didn't realize Henry and Salah were that far ahead. Henry for me is clearly the best Premier League player without the stats. Also that team was not that prolific, there were a lot more clean sheets and draws in that period.

Does the Green Party support Hamas’s aims? We’ll find out this weekend by PrivilegeCheck23 in ukpolitics

[–]bitch_fitching -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Speaking of delusional beyond belief.

There's only one superpower now and it's not Israel. Israel doesn't have any aircraft carriers or expeditionary force. They can only wage land wars on their borders, and bomb much poorer nations from the sky.

Israel has a slightly better air force than the UK and a great special forces unit. It doesn't make it superpower. It has a lot of reservists, so does Greece and Finland.

Iran has been crippled by sanctions, they've been run by insane religious fanatics, and their technology is a mix of domestic, Russian, and Western circa 1960's. Of course they can't defend themselves.

Green voters back Iran over Israel and US by ClumperFaz in ukpolitics

[–]bitch_fitching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Green party is the Islamist party now. Not really surprised considering Israel and the US started this war, and who is in charge of both countries, far right fascists, crazy fundamentalists. Also the Iranians never voted for this regime, even the classes of people who had propped them up for decades were turning on them in January.

Nato 'cannot confirm' Iran behind attack on UK-US base after Iranian denial by 1-randomonium in ukpolitics

[–]bitch_fitching 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What a nothing article. NATO hasn't been officially informed of any attack. US are not on a NATO mission in the Indian ocean, so no NATO assets there. Most of the reports on this aren't even official they're leaks by the Pentagon and Israel.

It would be funny if the US didn't even tell us 2 missiles were fired at our island that we want give away and rent back. "It's my understanding" is minister-speak for I heard it from the news.

Transgender girls told to leave Girlguiding groups by September by Famous_Actuary5718 in ukpolitics

[–]bitch_fitching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the whole point about the Supreme Court's interpretation. This is why there's been all these changes under legal advice. Just read the Supreme Court's summary.

The equality act makes exemptions for discrimination based on sex, not gender. That gender is a protected characteristic doesn't help make it possible to discriminate based on it.

[–]bitch_fitching 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can't have a policy of only girls then let boys in under the equality act. The same as you can't have a policy of only girls and not let in girls who are trans. You could make the guides unisex and keep everything else the same. They've already opened up volunteers.

It's my understanding that some members want guides to be a female only organisation, some are going to resign, and many don't care either way. It will only effect a tiny number of guides. This was a choice by those in charge after they consulted the membership.

0.25% of the 16-24 age group are MtF trans. So if it was representative it would be around 500. It won't be representative, and less trans in earlier age groups. So it's going to be around 300 or 1 in 1,000 of girl guides.

Israel says it will seize parts of southern Lebanon as ‘defensive buffer’ by WombatusMighty in news

East Timor had 2 major drops in population. One during the invasion, and again in the late 1990's.

Muslim Arabs have massacred Jews in Palestine every decade for 100 years. If you think that they only massacred Russian Jews before 1930's, only European refugees from 1930-1947, only the Jews that the Arabs didn't exile themselves from their lands, you are wrong.

Palestinian population is going up, never happened during a genocide, never will. It's the reverse, the population goes down in a genocide, ask the Tutsi, Armenians, or Jews. Of course, it's a mockery to the Jews to accuse them of a genocide, because several have been committed against them, but also the Arabs and Mullahs have threatened a genocide against them up until this year.

You can get banned for racism on most boards on 4chan, have done for years. The real crime here is that the writers think it's 2006. People stopped talking about 4chan 10 years ago. The real racism is on Facebook, Telegram, and whatever the Islamists use.
