  1. https://sportsscientists.com/2019/03/On Transgender athletes and performance advantages | The Science of Sport (sportsscientists.com) I think if the trans person is on hormone therapy it would be close. This article delves into it, but somehow this guy states that, "The initial typical advantage in mass and strength that biological males enjoy over females is between 20% and 100%". That's high, but the accepted number between elite male and female athletes is 10-15%. It also states that within 12 months of hormone therapy there is a 5% loss. Right now there's not a ton of data, but in the current climate there should be more data coming soon.
  2. Bro, he's even doing the hocus pocus alakazam hands to complete the deception. LOL How did 70 million people thing we needed more of this??????????????????????????
  3. Predicted what? He's still the special counsel. Like Durham, nearly every other U.S. attorney who served in the Trump administration was asked earlier this month to submit their resignations as the Biden administration moves to transition to its own nominees. This is completely normal
  4. If they both have the same fat mass, they're going to have roughly the same muscle mass. I'm saying if both people have the same MASS. A person with a MASS of 150 lbs and 5% body fat has the same MASS of a 150 lb person with 5% body fat. With the same training they will have the same muscle MASS. If they are taking the hormones, then they will not have the same muscle MASS as a man. Ya, this is what beast said verbatim, "Are really are a dunce." If you're going to call someone dumb, at least try to do it right ffs. Maybe he meant," I really are a dunce", which would STILL technically be wrong.
  5. They really believe that the best strategy is having Fox et al demonize Democrats, because their own policies don't measure up. For example, 83% of those surveyed who split their ticket last November between Biden and GOP candidates back the Covid bill. In the survey, 69% of respondents who split their ticket in the 2020 election between Trump and down-ballot Democratic candidates support the bill. Does that matter to any Republican in Congress?? heck no, because the bill is a win for Democrats and Americans. They'd rather America rot that do the right thing. Also, I agree the loons on both far ends are the real problem.
  6. He's trying to hide that he's still a bit butthurt trump lost, and we keep picking that scab off. He should be thankful we keep showing him how bad it was, so he can admit his mistake and move on sooner.
  7. If trumps foreign policy wasn't so bad it would be funny. In an Aug. 16 appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," Chuck Todd grilled Trump on who he turned to for foreign policy advice. "Well I really watch the shows. You really see a lot of great, you know, when you watch your show and all of the other shows, and you have the generals and you have certain people that you like," Trump said. "But is there somebody — a go-to for you?" Todd pressed. That's when Trump made his next mistake.... claiming a foreign adviser who isn't "Probably there are two or three. Yeah, probably there are two or three I mean, I like [former U.N. Ambassador John] Bolton. I think he's, you know, tough cookie, knows what he's talking about. [Ret. Col. Jack] Jacobs is a good guy... and I see him on occasion," Trump remarked in the same interview. In an interview with Mother Jones later that week, the retired colonel said that while knew Trump, the two had never discussed military policy.
  8. I don't understand. You guys sure seem to want your socialist $2000 checks, but if Biden asks them to bypass the filibuster to get it to you, you'll cry foul. Make up your minds. Are you socialists or not?? Do you support the people who are against the stimulus?? Are you just anti-Biden, but don't want to admit it??? Could it be your just "don't be sore Wally", because your guy lost, and you're having a tough time coping???? Ding Ding Winner!!!!!
  9. Hey, one man's failed foreign policy is very relevant to the guy who has to fix said failed mans foreign policy. FWIW, you cried TDS daily, but aren't prepared to even consider Biden might do a good job, so there's that hypocrisy, too.
  10. The loonies on the far right and far left create most of our problems.
  11. I'm not sure how we stop Iran from going nuclear, but the only thing it looks like Biden is going to send them is your tax dollars via 500-2000 lb bombs for now. It's not going to be easy to make a deal to stop proliferation with anyone if you have presidents pulling out of deals on a whim. Ask trump if it was worth $150B of Iran's own money to stop it, and he'd say no. Now we have very limited options, but it would have been harder for them to build it with the deal in place Here's what trump said, “The Iran deal is defective at its core. If we do nothing, we know exactly what will happen. In just a short period of time, the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, will be on the cusp of acquiring the world’s most dangerous weapons.” Here's what trump did to stop it: NOTHING(ie the art of the deal)
  12. That was an unfreezing of Iranian assets, which was part of the nuclear agreement between pretty much all the civilized nations of the world. That money, which was held up as sanctions, did not come from the USA, but rather was tied up in foreign banks. Trump is the one who bailed on that, and made it a huge waste. All of this is contrary to Trumps tweets and Facebook memes.
  13. A lot of the difference in relative strength likely comes from body fat %, which is mostly due to hormones. Even among top athletes women have a higher %. Some strength difference is due to twitch fiber, but the difference in strength there is made up by endurance. Otherwise, men and women gain strength at the same rate at the same level of intensity. You can look that up. The only way trans man vs women would be fair is if the trans person were on hormone therapy. A man with 4% body fat who wears a dress would certainly hold the strength advantages that Brents claims.
  14. Trump started this who can be a more despicable person than me party. Even if you believe what her sign says, it's still fully inappropriate. She's complete trash.
  15. It's not quite so simple. All humans have varying amounts of testosterone and estrogen. Those hormones are the things that determine our sexuality, not necessarily just your chromosomes. This is evident, as you can control the way your body sexually matures by taking these hormones. A man can indeed grow breasts, and lactate. A woman taking hormones can grow facial hair. As far as this relates to the topic, there are probably very few young boys taking estrogen so they can get big and strong, and beat up all the other girls. It's counter-intuitive. It's also very, very overblown the impact people are trying to say it will have on people's lives. I try to think of it as a sliding scale of masculinity and femininity, which we all lie on somewhere. So there's really 2 sciences at work here. The chromosome AND the hormones.
  16. What you're not understanding is that in MMA you will not be fighting a larger opponent. There is no weight advantage. Truth be told, it's highly unlikely there's a lot of boys who think they are girls that are just dying to decimate the ranks of female MMA when they grow up. I know this is a topic that fear mongering has everyone terrified of, and I know I probably won't convince anyone either. I'd say people are probably 75-80% against this. Also, by your own logic, there's no way a woman could beat you, but we know that's not true. There's guaranteed mad amounts of women out there that could whoop you. Afraid or not, you'd lose badly to a lot of them. Bet
  17. To be fair, it's both. Just double the dosage of whatever meth derivative they gave him during the campaign, and hope his body can handle it.
  18. Bro, not just walking in the middle of the street, but not even putting the stolen merchandise in your pocket to conceal it? Then mouthing off, then attacking?? That's a Biden; C'mon man. It's almost like Brown was saying, arresting me is not enough officer, I'm begging for you to shoot me. As we've learned since gunpowder has been invented, people are very averse to being shot. Maybe we'll find some lost tapes. One lady did say she recorded it, and gave to police. Not sure if that was true, though.
  19. People knew this, and STILL thought it was better than t-rump. What's that say about your boy??
  20. The only thing that was in favor of Democrats was large dumps from metropolitan areas. You're not going to get large dumps in rural areas. Surely you can understand that. Everything else you listed has no bias to either candidate whatsoever. Now, who in 2020 said, "stop counting the ballots", because he saw that the large cities where it took longer to report(due to sheer amount of tabulations)were closing the gap?? That would be Donald J. t-rump. What could possibly be FISHIER than that, besides maybe him claiming it was rigged before it even started. He tried everything in his power to subvert the election, and you have NO issue with that at all. Sad!
  21. The last part of it is likely the most overlooked, yet the most damning. The stock market might be the least accurate measure of how well 98% of your citizens are doing on a personal level. Before someone brings up retirements, keep in mind that all of it can be lost as quickly as it was gained. Should hedge managers be allowed to pick away at our retirement? If Americans have to spin the wheel of fortune to hope for a decent life after working hard for 50 years, then that's pretty sad. I'll just take the pensions like people used to get, before shareholders took all the dividends and CEO's all the profits. I think a 'WHAT TRUMP SAID ABOUT COVID ONE YEAR AGO TODAY THREAD' is in order. It would put the stupidity in perspective.
  22. I played football a long time ago, but don't see the relevance here other than a possible machismo jab, which is about totally useless on an internet forum. Now, what you have done with your photo is provide evidence for me. What do those 2 men have in common?? They are THE SAME SIZE. Which MMA do you plan on participating in that has a guy with a gigantic weight advantage taking on another???? As I've already said, wrestling/boxing/MMA, pretty much any mano mano(no pun intended) physical combat is going to be with people of relatively equal stature. Lastly, I'm not the one afraid of a woman my size coming into MMA, and whooping my ass.
  23. We probably agree on a lot more than you think. This ones a no brainer.
  24. Then by that standard, after the insurrection, the right has no more claim to Democrat socialist ruining America, because no one has gone farther down the craphole than them. I agree the far left goes too far, but were mostly just discussing policing here. it seems that you're starting to understand that socioeconomic status is also a large factor here, too. I certainly can't see how anyone could try to say that humans who left Africa sooner than others are less likely to commit crimes. I think everyone would agree that any humans predisposition to commit crime is not based on how much melanin their skin has. It seems we may agree on this more than we initially thought.
  25. I wasn't trying to make it political. It just doesn't take into account what Michael Brown could have been thinking. There's nothing logical about what they said his actions were. What sounds most logical to me is that he was running, and when he heard bullets whizzing by, he thought better, then turned around to surrender. Saying he decided that he must have thought it was a good idea to turn, and cover 35 feet with his pants falling down to try to get to the guy firing at him makes no sense at all. I'd also guess the cop was terrified, because he had already had to fight MB for his weapon, and wasn't going for round 2 of that, so in that respect I can see how it's justified. We'll never know what really happened.
