Yeah, I like it. It’s definitely an unfinished product and lacking a lot of content and polish atm, but it’s got the bones of a good game. Absolutely not worth the current asking price tho

The median voter is a privileged dumbfuck who has no consistent set of values to begin with.

insert joke about Melbourne having four seasons on any given day here

okay, here’s a picture of the same intersection taken August last year (also winter). Gonna go out on a limb and say the trees in the median might be evergreen.

No. Subwoofers don’t have fingers.

Observable characteristics don’t determine sex, but this one chromosome that nobody even knew existed seventy years ago and that doesn’t actually do a whole lot does

Bro really ate the L on that one 🤣🤣🤣

Cope, seethe, mald ya drongo

Lol back up your refutation with some facts, bozo

First, everybody should take note of the fact that you still haven’t provided a source showing that trans women have any sort of across-the-board competitive advantage over cis women in sport. I can only presume that’s because you don’t have any. Pathetic. Moving on.

Claiming that the fact you’re arguing from a “basic” understanding is somehow a point in your favour is some pigeon-shitting-on-the-chessboard-and-claiming-victory type shit, and you should feel embarrassed.

Sure, you personally are allowed to use a model of sex as determined by the presence or absence of a Y chromosome, but such a model is overly simplistic, and to act as though that’s the only correct model that either society or science broadly operates on is completely disconnected from reality.
This should be painfully obvious to everybody, given that people have been determining sex since long before the discovery of DNA, nevermind sex chromosomes. Likewise, medical staff determine the sex of babies not by running DNA tests, but by visually examining the genitals, ie a primary sex characteristic.

But furthermore, a Y-chromosome-as-sole-determinant-of-sex model is flawed for other reasons, too. For one thing, it’s not the Y chromosome itself that causes male sex development, it’s a specific gene that just usually happens to exist on it: the SRY gene. Someone can have a Y chromosome, but lacking the SRY gene will develop a female phenotype. Conversely, it’s also possible for the SRY gene to attach itself to an X chromosome and cause someone lacking a Y chromosome to nevertheless follow a male pattern of sex development.
Now get this through your skull: the SRY gene doesn’t actually do a whole lot, either—it mostly just instructs the gonads to develop into testes rather than ovaries, and it’s the—you’re not gonna believe this—sex hormones which the gonads go on to produce that cause the body to develop pretty much every primary and secondary sex characteristic down the line—barring insensitivities to them, of course, and it is in the actual materially observable sex characteristics, primary and secondary alike, that people are most likely to realise differences in sex, rather than in some chromosome we don’t know is there or not until it’s specifically tested for…. And gonads can be removed. Primary sex characteristics can be surgically altered. Exogenous sex hormones can become dominant in a person’s endocrine system and can cause the development of new secondary sex characteristics.

So relying on just the Y chromosome as a measure of sex comes across as really arbitrary and not functionally useful, given that it doesn’t really do a whole lot. In fact, the only reason I can come up with as to why one might hyperfocus on the Y chromosome would be to be shitty to trans and intersex peolpe 🤷‍♀️
Also, given that not all red blood cells contain DNA, you’re wrong again—it’s also not written into every cell of a person’s body 🤓👆
And finally, it’s a blatant example of hypocrisy for you to say I’m equating tits and vocal tone to the essence of human sex (which is itself a wild misrepresentation of my argument) when you yourself did the exact same thing earlier with height, wingspan and lung capacity, which are all also secondary sex characteristics 🤣 make it make sense 🤣🤣

You’re clearly being intellectually dishonest here, because you know you haven’t got a leg to stand on. Dickhead.

Yeah righto, you haven’t got a clue what you’re on about but because you’re an entitled fuck with an opinion, you’re just putting it out there as confidently as you can because you’re hoping people will uncritically agree with it since it reaffirms their priors.

But you’re wrong. Biological sex is malleable. The whole fucking point of sex hormones is to guide the development of sex characteristics. It’s kinda in the name. Or did you think people’s bodies somehow magically just do that by themselves during puberty and that sex hormones have nothing to do with it??? Are you stupid???

If what you’re saying were true and trans women were, as you say, “biOlogiKalLy maLe,” and had all the many advantages over cis women in sports that come with that, surely you’d feel confident in providing research that supports your conclusion specifically as regarding trans women instead of having to equivocate them with a completely different demographic—because tbh doing the latter and calling it a day just screams of intellectual cowardice.

And no, I’m not getting anything mixed up, you smug arsehole. Trans people do (broadly speaking—some don’t but those aren’t relevant to this discussion) change sex by undergoing various processes that alter their bodies’ sex characteristics on a biological level, and you living in denial isn’t gonna change that. I’m really curious as to what, specifically, you think determines sex.

But they’re placed exactly where they should be? If they should be placed higher, that’s where they’d be… seems like you’re the one getting mad over a skill issue on other people’s behalf tbh. It’s weird.

You’re acting as though Lia Thomas didn’t have every right to compete as she did, despite fulfilling all the eligibility criteria that were in place at the time, so your argument at this stage seems equally applicable to all the cis women who outperformed her, too, but you’re not whining for the benefit of all the poor womanses that were denied the opportunity to place higher than they did by them, are you?

Oi mate, you might wanna read the post again. You do understand that it’s about trans women competing in women’s sports, not about cis men competing in women’s sports, right…? Because those aren’t the same.
There’s far more overlap between the physiolgical characteristics of transsexual females and cissexual females than there is between transsexual females and cissexual males, so by categorically conflating trans females with males you’re really just showing off that you know sweet fuck all about this issue.

It may not be an issue to you, but it’s an issue to every woman whose ranking is lower as a result.

Really? “Every”? You asked every single one of them, did you? Or are you just talking out your arse on the behalf of hundreds of people you don’t even know?

What the fuck

Take your pills, Alice.

And I’m telling you that bro wasn’t criticising shit so your point is completely irrelevant to this thread 🤷‍♀️

And as a punchline, it’s way past its expiration date.

The fuck would you know about dates, anyway? Seeing as how you’re clearly upset you don’t get any 😎👉👉

Damn, all I’m seeing here is hella moid coping and seething 💅
