Why do transgender athletes compete as women anyway?
Shouldn't they just be in their own category, competing against other trans?
If they keep this up, then it seems like future races, track, swimming, whatever, will just be all trans athletes anyway.
Then that would be pushing the women athletes out of their category.
I think there are actually laws about denying women opportunity in sports.
Isn't that exactly what is happening? Say 3 swimmers in each of 3 heats advance to the finals, where the final race has 9 swimmers. If one of those heat winners is trans, then doesn't it push out one of the women competitors?
Pretty sure that at least violates the spirit of equality laws that were designed to give women opportunity to begin with.
A bit of a rant here, and off the top of my head, but isn't that what's happening here?
We're creating gender fluidity and more than two genders, but then we're still going bck to just two genders for sport.
I don't see how this model is sustainable.

It's not an anti trans rant, I think they should be able to compete.
It just seems like they should have their own category.

It's a little wild for sure.
Women have fought for years for the right to compete in sports like men do.
It seems like they have to have that fight all over again.

Turns out the car does give a fukk. It was pulling forward through the light to find what it determined was a safer place to pull over for the cops.
At first I thought it was just driving away from them.
The cops had no idea what to do either way...lmao.

Ok guys, outside of the Black and Gold dark Mode give me one reason to post at BMR.
A quick review shows the same unstable posters that couldn't get it together at SBR just eating themselves alive, fighitng with each other.
And between those posts they are still complaining and talking shit about SBR without every actually saying anything specific about why they hate SBR and it's people.
And between those posts they talk about how BMR is so great, again with zero specifics.
Common folks, what's the appeal of BMR?
Sure, one could sign up and try to post around all that bullshit.

Dark Mode with the Black and Gold befitting a champion is pretty bad ass though.

I hear that.
They do have decent odds page though.
SBR clearly does not.
But SBR deficiencies is not reason enough to go to BMR.
What does BMR have? I think some good mods are there, but some good mods are here too.
It's a shame the mod/admin team got broken up. That is a bummer.

My intention isn't to put down BMR or SBR, I'm just thinking why split the posting time and effort.
Do they even have a Think Tank? We could start one there, but would not do that without putting in well intended effort here.
I'm team SBR for now.
