One of the worst decision ever made having trans compete against woman

[Wolfwood]

I won't be around (with any luck) when this comes up again.

I just hope they didn't learn to much in their last historic defeat, and shall be doomed to repeat it. and the history that is going to repeat will be the closer to 1776AD than 395AD. I guess I could settle for 1852BC though.

We old guys have seen a lot of changes in the U.S.A. over the years. I worked in radio and TV stations in high school and college in a major Texas city (back in the 1960's).

I remember an announcer once made reference to a "church key" on his show and was immediately fired.

Also they sent a TV crew to the Pink Elephant nightclub one weekday night to show guys dancing with guys. They saw three of their employees there and all were immediately fired.

I remember the married couple living next door that worked for the airlines, she was a stewardess. Importing marijuana, each got 40 years in jail.

I remember Bill Clinton - and he got re-elected after his violation of workplace laws.

Then we elected Obama, twice.

The times they are a-changing...

Tuesday night was "Ladies Night" @ Chino's (The California Institution For Men) West facility. Why? Because of the ridiculous amount of trannies lined up to receive hormone therapy at the expense of the taxpayers.

Fired over a can opener? I hope he got to drink his beer before he left.

Yeah, I even checked Urban Dictionary and didn't find anything bad...

I had to look it up as well. I had heard the term used before, but didn't know what it meant. I was expecting something bit more risque than a beer opener!

I've called it that for most my life, never once got a surprised expression.

It isn't a "decision", it's a cop out by the authorities who are afraid of a special interest group and so give in and let them have their way. Regardless of the science, the common sense, the obvious inequities. The people who all men to pretend to be women in any sport, are cowards, and have no moral conscience.

It's just like "zero tolerance" policies, it's not about what's good for the community, or the perpetrator, or the victim, it simply removes any responsibility for using your judgment and common sense. These people were promoted to "administrative" level position so that they could use their experience and training to handle individual situations in the best interest of the kids, parents, teachers, community. Zero tolerance gets them off the hook for everything.

The left's ultimate goal is zero accountability for anything. Then, they can do as they please and no one can challenge them.

This is my opinion, which is protected by the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. That protection guarantees that Facebook, tiktok, Google, fact checkers, whomever, have no right to censor this posting in any way without assuming the legal liability of having violated my constitution right to free speech. No matter if they disagree, or find it offensive, or use the excuse of "missing context"

WHO CARES. Boycotted Olympics and will boycott any sport that allows this

Yeah. UFC has been getting weird for awhile.

It needs to be:
Trans vs trans
Man vs man
Woman vs woman

I think they could make it fair taking gender completely out of it. Instead of setting classes based on weight alone, it could be a calculation of weight, bone mass, and muscle density. You would end up with a couple classes that would be all women or men, but would have co-ed classes in the middle for the outliers.

There's also other factors, and that could get complicated.

Church key...
Like a bottle opener?

Prohibition was a weird time!

My wife and I race bicycles. Sometimes she gripes because of race times or the purse size or race length of the women's events compared to the men's.


Women are allowed to race down 2 categories (the pro/1 women can race with the cat-3 men) and I'll remind her she can always race with us in the spirit of equality if she feels slighted. She gives me the stink-eye as I grim ear to ear.

She was national quality fast, but even the mid category men's races are too fast for her to generally place well.

Not sure it would be that easy.

I use a "church key" to open my Shiner beer!

That said, I know a girl who does TKD at my daughters school. At a tournament last year there were no other girls for her to compete against so she chose to fight the guys there instead. Took first. But she’s incredibly intelligent in how she fights. This was a tournament setting though and I can’t use that to say she could have the same success if many of the rules and safety measures were removed.

Many times rules and classes are suppose to be about fairness and equality for the competitors of a sport. Suppose to be.

There are always going to be some that try to cheat the rules or interpret them differently, or find loopholes in order to gain an advantage.

I think that using "transgender" as means of bending the rules is just another one.

I've heard that it varies, but the average male is ten times stronger than the average female. I think that does not take average size disparity into account, but the comparison does not change until the size disparity is absurd.

I've been around a lot of athletics and weight training for a long time, but it never really hit home until one day a couple of years ago when I went to the gym with my wife. I'm well into the large size for a male (about 6'3" with an "very heavy" build that throws off BMI calculations), but she is pushing the extreme end of the female size range (6'0" plenty of muscle mass, and has been running, hiking, and practicing yoga with a heavy isometric component for her entire adult life). So we did some stretches, did ten or fifteen minutes on ellipticals, then went to the weights and grabbed our first dumbbells off the racks. She got her four pound starters, and I took my regular... forty pounds. She said wtf and wanted to try mine. She could lift them, of course, with some effort, but couldn't keep her form.

And I'm nothing special when it comes to lifting, even if you don't count my injuries.

I think this example shows that something I read or heard years ago might be true.

Most women don't typically have the same upper body strength as men.

Of course some of those Russian women power lifters might prove me wrong!
