This is where a typewritten conversation is disadvantageous because it's hard to get at nuances of meaning if you don't realize how something will be perceived in advance. To recap, not all trans people experience dysphoria. Those that do should have access to healthcare, which itself is not well sorted for mental illnesses in the public at large.
Oh wow. I can't believe I have never thought of this! From anecdotal evidence I would say this scenario is much more likely then chromosomal trisomies.
Although, if you're taking hormones to transition would you still self-categorize into your former gender for your sport? That seems philosophically inconsistent, but again as a society there is still a lot to be worked out here.
In middle school I kind of liked that our basketball team was called the "Lady Destroyers" (after the local naval destroyers)...but aside from that example I heartily agree.
That pic is a real fork in the road...people that would lie face down on that carpet due to run of the mill bad fortunes vs. people who would need to be tranquilized (i.e. me)
I remember as a tween in the nineties people saying: this will all die out once the real racists age out of power/die. Now I'm wondering if that was 100% delusion particular to my all white part of New England, or if it really is another surge whereby it's "fashionable" for (some) people in high school today, most obvious with fans cheering or players hazing in us/them scenarios. Some initial comments from school officials in this case make it clear they were NOT prepared for this to go national.
Strong to Oregon would be good for him and also lead to interesting football. Get him away from the Texas booster "culture" that has only ever barely tolerated him.
But my real comment is that I've been thinking about using shock collars for my dogs when we're deep in the woods, and the whole love vs. hate / inclusion vs. exclusion motivation stuff is really interesting to me. Also relates back to the Brian Kelly stuff on the board lately (and always).
The players all gave funny comments, good fluff for the team/coach.
I think it's the middle distance stare. And the hair.
This led me down a long thought experiment whereby Nicholas Sparks is commissioned to write a novel set in Happy Valley...Friday afternoon weirdness.

Oregon was rolling over early, but now we've got a game.
I agree, this E.C. Matthews kid on RI (out of Romulus High) is awesome!
I heard the overunder for B1G wins was 6.5...so on average each of the 7 teams wins one. Not looking good!
MSU has multiple
noice!

As the grandchild of a Red Cross-water-safety-instructor that paddling gif is pretty much peak mayhem.
That or the Jabrill gif, lol
I could not get a feel for the game...did Nebraska play well? I think Oregon mostly just let them get convert a 4th down and that was that.
I cannot stress enough how impressive Jackson was. They're both special but one of them was smacking FSU.
I listened to it on the radio so I didn't get to play body language doctor. But they won! Bang!
Especially since their running back is a supposed Heisman candidate.
Iowa o-line is yuck

I've been debating that. This is a program defining win...but if he were to get hurt people would be so pissed.
Recency bias...LOUISVILLE!!!
Also, I like the chrome helmets, which I often don't.
Somebody called this earlier and I did not believe. So FSU and Rutgers, both second half teams lol.
But I always love venues (like wrigley) where randos can watch from a distance
I would pick ND. MSU struggled against Furman but they're going to storm into South Bend and keep it close with a top 10 quarterback?
I flinched here: "Tore a groin" and tore a groin muscle seem to me to be different things.
Defense nitpicks (screens/contain) seem to be of the learning-our-nasty-tricks-in-real-time mode...excited to see it unfold!
