Like, trans women have plenty of other challenges that are liable to make succeeding at sports more difficult. It's much harder to get a scholarship right now. In a lot of sports they face discrimination every day keeping them from the best coaches and other opportunities. They have to navigate the changing room situation. That's without looking at what their home lives might be like, etc etc etc.
Think of all the things the US pointed at to argue that trans woman couldn't possibly be good soldiers, where as cis woman can. Why do those all suddenly vanish when talking about sports? Why aren't sports that allow trans women being dominated by them? Why is no high level women's sport seeing close to 1% of the participants being trans women?
Could it be that having *one* advantage doesn't necessarily weigh out all the disadvantages?
And again, to loop back to the first question... why is it an *unfair* advantage to be a tall trans woman, but not an *unfair* advantage to be a tall cis woman? this dude is such a fucking retard.
Of course Kyuuji even takes issue with Oliver saying that there's not enough research to say anything definitive

One of my issues with people promoting this kind of protesting is they react like  when fired or arrested. At least own it up or don’t act surprised that people think you are twat for getting fired from a comfortable job and accomplishing nothing with your protest.

It grew from the Norsk Hedensk Front (NHF), which was claimed to be led and founded by the musician Varg Vikernes in 1993, although he and the organisation denied it.

Take a look at what they say about disney:
Disney+
Cancel or don't sign up for Disney+ subscriptions! Disney and its subsidiarySpoiler: Marvel (click to show)(click to hide) are complicit in glorifying Israel's regime of genocide and apartheid against Indigenous Palestinians. Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World and Disney's Snow White star actors Shira Haas and Gal Gadot, respectively, that have consciously and irrefutably taken up roles as cultural ambassadors for Israel, directly representing genocidal Israel's propaganda efforts. For Captain America, Marvel and Disney are reviving the racist character of Ruth Bat-Seraph, whose decades-old backstory includes working for Mossad. Disney+ is therefore clearly implicated in enabling Israel's genocide by dehumanizing Palestinians.
To make this clear, I have no Disney+ sub, I don't care about their franchises or anything but this is just... Gal Gadot is an Israeli actress of course she will function as an ambassador for the country cause of her fame. And of course she will sympathize with her people first. And that old Mossad character they are using... I'm sorry but this is not being compliant at all. I just don't see it.

Quote:NC and WI have been the GOP's lab for the horrendous shit they want to put us all through. Probably a preview of what Linda McMahon will cook up.
Quote:That any parent is willing to have their kids taught by random slimy fucks off the street in classrooms more crowded than Noah's Ark is simply evidence that the education system has already long-since failed, thus making these changes redundant.
Quote:Can't wait for the "Unlicensed teacher arrested for sexual abuse of students" headline.
Shit, sounds pretty bad. I'm sure they read the article.
Narrator: they did not.
Spoiler: Mostly Carepost (click to show)(click to hide) Quote:Under state law, class sizes are capped in K-3 class sizes with no limits for other grade levels [...] State GOP lawmakers lowered K-3 class size limits in 2017, saying it would help improve instruction. But school districts, such as Wake County, have complained it’s led to them reassigning students and putting enrollment caps at some elementary schools.
Quote:nearly one out of every 10 teachers left the profession between March 2023 and March 2024.
Quote:While the bill says school districts can hire unlicensed teachers, it says you’d need to be a college graduate to teach the core subject areas of mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts.
Quote:The legislation also says unlicensed teachers who are hired by school districts have to complete preservice training in these areas:
▪ The identification and education of children with disabilities.
▪ Positive management of student behavior.
▪ Effective communication for defusing and de-escalating disruptive or dangerous behavior.
▪ Safe and appropriate use of seclusion and restraint.
So, the GOP is rolling back a requirement that they instituted (for only grades K-3), at the request of NC counties. I also have to note, under all other circumstances, having hiring requirements that would exclude homeless crackheads would normally be considered deeply discriminatory on Era, but now apparently college graduates are no better than slimy child molesters.
Also I'm not surprised that a forum of people who largely don't have kids (and mostly have never known the touch of a woman) don't realize that schools use loopholes to allow unlicensed teachers to fill unmet demand already.
That isn't even touching how uniquely weird it is to get degree in teaching. Most states (not just NC) require a full semester of unpaid full-time student teaching.
