    So one athlete competing for a school in… checks notes… Pennsylvania warranted the full might of our state government, the one with a legislature that meets once every two years for 140 days, to spend the time and resources to pass a law banning trans athletes? And people bitch that our government doesn’t get anything done?

    You still wouldn’t understand. Venables is a Nobel laureate compared to you.

    I don’t believe you. The highly respected Senator Cruz has based his entire campaign on this issue. Surely such a serious politician wouldn’t spend millions running ads educating his constituents about this issue if it wasn’t an existential threat to our American way of life, right?

    You’ve never pissed in the trough?

    Because a poster, who has firsthand experience, offered a lot of good insight. I didn’t feel like I can add a lot more to the wisdom that she shared.

    So the HEB was indeed closed.

    That’ll teach you not to wear your Rolex while working on your deer stand.

    Haven’t read the thread have you?

    So we need to pass legislation based on one single athlete? What a waste of government resources.

    Tell me about it. I thought the benefit of being a dude at a Taylor Swift concert was going to be short lines for the men’s room. Instead I had to muscle past dozens of females (or were they?!?!?) so I could whip out my dong at a urinal.

    Absolutely, my stance is rooted in principle. Humans have been competing in sports for thousands of years. This issue was manufactured by a group of people who want to demonize a group of people. I’m against demonizing groups of people. If the folks who created this wedge issue would reevaluate their approach and come at it with a thoughtful discussion involving multiple stakeholders and craft a solution that doesn’t put trans athletes at risk for public humiliation or worse, then hell yeah, let’s do that. Until that happens, the folks who manufactured this culture war shit can go fuck themselves.

    Appreciate the response. It seems that you acknowledge that this is something that would likely never impact you or your daughters personally in the absence of laws. If that’s the case, please make the case to me why we should make this into a huge political issue? If you watch any sports on TV, a certain senate candidate has manufactured this into the absolute biggest issues that he’s running on. It just seems to me that there are bigger issues in our society that are more pressing and should be addressed first. In the meantime, leave the rule making up to entities like UIL and NCAA. It’s clearly an issue that requires some thoughtful consideration, but instead we have a vocal minority that wants to punch down on a statistically minuscule group of athletes and, in turn, all trans people. That doesn’t sit well with me.

    Staring at an anesthesia machine all day doesn’t seem all that exciting to me. And AA’s are coming for your overcompensated jobs.

    No, I guess it’s not and, yes, I guess I am. Please explain what you meant because it appears to me that you said that you’re glad that 25 states have laws in place that prohibit transwomen from competing in women’s sports and then you specifically mentioned it in reference to your daughters. Do you not give a shit if a person who has fully transitioned competes in women’s sports? Because, if so, I owe you an apology for misinterpreting your point.
  17. royiv
    Then why did you specifically call out how thrilled you are about the laws in 25 states and that you’re glad you live in Texas?

    Sick burn, bro. I don’t lose a wink of sleep about a trans-athlete playing in a volleyball game. What I do care about is people who use this as a wedge issue to harass and marginalize a group of people. If you can’t acknowledge that some people use this issue to demonize the trans community then you’ve got your head in the sand.
  19. royiv
    Fuck, you’re right. I didn’t have my cheat sheet with me and Rex’s false concern for his daughters on this topic was already all over the thread.
  20. royiv
    Who cares? How is this even an issue that anyone gives a shit about? Do people really think that cisgender men are going to electively transition to compete in women’s sports? This issues is so incredibly ridiculous.
  21. royiv
    Can’t help yourself can you, Rex? You had to run from your previous handle and create a new one based on your POS views. Once a shithead, always a shithead.

    Fayetteville is a cool college town and that part of the country is beautiful. Have friends that had a son graduate from Arkansas and he was super happy there and they were super happy with the school. If he wants the college town experience, I would think it would be a reallly good option.

    What’s an alternative mechanism to keep companies in check?

    Don’t taunt Centerpoint. That’s going to be bulletin board material.

    Because Americans are, on the whole, not smart and have very, very short attention spans.
