    I try to do the same.

    I also try to be careful what I post so it can't be taken wrong. I'm not always successful in that endeavor.

    I know you are good dude. I don't think for a minute you are a bigot etc. Some of your viewpoints tread a controversial line.

    Again he probably should have asked for clarity

    I was just suggesting a way to make it more fair, was to have sanctioned class option of some sort. League, Conference, State, City. Its probably not practical at this point but maybe something they can experiment with and as the trans community grows they could be ahead of the curve. The are certain sports where they factor in physical differences already. Boxing, wrestling weight classes for fairness. In HS I wrestled at 106 my frosh year and there were times the opposing team didn't have anyone for me to wrestle. My son same thing. Ive been to junior wrestling & HS matches where girls are wrestling boys but Ive never seen a boy wrestling in the girls class in HS.
    IMO, Trans gals should compete against guys and trans guys could compete against trans gals. And they could call it co-ed if they want.

    It's a majority liberal/moderate forum, so that's not a surprise.

    I try to respect that you have your beliefs and I have mine even though we often don't agree.

    It's a matter of how to rectify ones beliefs and principles with opposing ones.

    But, if you willingly jump aboard a sinking, rat infested ship. It seems to me that you should have to go down... with it.

    Thanks for clarifying


    I agree it's not practical. I understand the discomfort and unfamiliarity of men wrestling women and vice versa, but that solution would be discriminatory at its root.

    The weight change only comes because of the issue with gender which is discrimination.

    Nah. I eat what I kill, but if I kill them all I will not have anything more to eat.

    It's like the old saying, "give a man a rat, he'll eat for a day; teach a man to hunt rats sustainably, he'll eat like a king".

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This morning when my alerts informed me I had been tagged in this thread, my first reaction was "When did I post in a thread called 'Passive Aggressive Shark'?"

    True story.

    Passive aggressive sharks are very rare.

    So now we’ve moved from trees falling in the woods to sharks?
