What the fuck you talking about, man? You comparing transgender people to inanimate objects? 

You want to call yourself a pencil, sure go for it.

[Hello from Russia]

Well, you guys are all laughing right now, but imagine the alien overlords will actually conspire through Parler and launch a terrorist tomorrow??? They will come to Russia after they are done with Merica . What do we do??

If you cut off Mike Tyson's dick that does not mean you can put "her" in a boxing ring with biological women. When it comes to boxing, "she" will still be effectively a "man".

This isn’t true. Biological men that have transitioned to trans women with testosterone blockers have reduced muscle mass and strength that become comparable to women. Although some studies have shown trans women still retain higher muscle strength - especially during the first 12 months. Yet it’s not fair to assume they still have the muscle mass and strength as a man. However, bone density takes longer to equilibrate and bone structure remains different. For example trans women will have different shoulder and hip structure than cis women. In some sports this could be an unfair advantage due to the physics of leverage - such as throwing a javelin. Yet in other sports, like running, it wouldn’t have much of an advantage. Yet if the bone density hasn’t equilibrated, the trans women could withstand more intense training without certain injuries.

Part of the shame about Joe Rogan is that there are reasonable Conservatives who are worth having a dialog with (his show with Gary Johnson, the former Libertarian Presidential candidate comes to mind). 

Joe does a very good job at being open to different viewpoints, while at the same time retaining the ability to push back against things he disagrees with, while still retaining a conversational tone. The problem is that reasonable voices on the right become overshadowed by the platforming of dangerous bullshit artists like Alex Jones or Ben Shapiro. That's in addition to irresponsibly spreading Conspiracies and false equivalencies about politics.

I think Rogan probably means well, but is struggling to use his immense platform in a socially responsible way. And labeling him as a trans-phobe is an overreaction. Hell, Vaush made a good case that trans inclusion in sports is not a black and white issue, and there's going to be some growing pains as we figure this out.

Using the term “comparable” might not be the most precise. There is a considerable alteration of body fat and lean muscle mass in trans women, yet they still have greater strength, on average, than cis women. Especially during the first year. In most competitive sports, I don’t think it’s fair for TW to compete against CW. Yet it’s also not fair to suggest a TW is a guy competing against women.

It also depends on the timing of therapy. Hormonal therapy before or during puberty will have a much more dramatic impact than after puberty.

Here is one research article showing biological feminization of TW.

All identities are relative and imaginary in the end.

To a degree. But it still won't be fair to biological women. You are not going to entirely reverse a lifetime of biological manhood by taking some chemicals. Take height, for example. Men are taller than women on average, and no chemicals will reverse that. And it won't end there.

It's a grave mistake to assume that a Yellow person is beyond ego.

That's a good point. It's only at Turquoise where there is a global awareness. Every us-vs-them mentality is ego consciousness, every nation is a collective ego, every ideology is an egoic structure. Of course second tier also includes the first tier stages, so a person at Turquoise transcends the ego yet also includes it.

Wonder when the security footage from the terrorist attacks will be released? There has to be hundreds of security cameras all around the capitol, covering every every angle. So once the video footage is released, everyone can have a better idea of the events that happened.

I agree in general that that its not fair for TW to compete against CW since they still have several advantages. Yet it’s also not fair to suggest a TW is a guy competing against women. 

It also depends on timing. If the hormone therapy is before or during puberty it has a much more dramatic effect than after puberty.

Not exactly the most ethical thing to let a literal child make such a profound decision with life-long consequences though.

common sense

Let's not derail this thread with a complex debate about transgender. You can start a separate thread for that.

The only point I care to make here is that Rogan is not a transphobe.

@Leo Gura

then why not call "she" "he" .. if "she" is still effectively a man

(playing devil's advocate)

There are far more aspects of being a he or she than physical dominance within athletics.

If Mike Tyson wants to cut off his dick and become a she in self-identitication, that is her business and maybe it will make her feel better about herself. But box with girls Ms Tyson should not.

[Forestluv]

@Ry4n It’s not that simple. I’ll leave it at that since we shouldn’t derail the thread.
