Yeah, exactly.

But that's the issue - people who are transphobic often say that using someone's chosen name is "strange" and "confusing" because they don't want to admit that their real issue with it is that it's being used for gender expression. If their actual issue was with chosen names as a whole, stage names would irritate them just as much.

But the stress is the only effective motivator I've found!

I specifically use my normal username and profile pic as a challenge to people. Oh, you want to laugh about how you saw me in a thread discussing a fetish porn game? Care to explain what you were doing there? Okay, now, give me your list of favorites.

Great, so we should take advantage of the fact that we have major and minor leagues and separate by ability into those. If it happens to separate by gender, so be it, but if someone is higher or lower than the average for their gender then they can compete among other people on their level.

The fact that we separate by gender in spite of how, as this thread points out, there is a large amount of variability within that category that goes against the idea that this addresses the ability gap, just shows that we're not separating for that reason, we're separating for sexual discrimination.

I've always thought it was strange that we separated some sports by gender, and I still do. Especially because plenty of sports don't separate by gender, and there's no issue.

Pretty sure the point is fun and entertainment. Some people care about finding the "best," but as the saying goes, it's not about whether you win or lose...

That's a much easier thing for his supporters to swallow, unfortunately.

That's the issue - so did AI. Real people use them less often because real people often don't read a lot of books. AI might not really understand the words it's spewing out, but it's at least good at formatting them as it's been shown.

No, I changed it to "one side killing us, the other not, but still leaving it on the table" Which is a huge difference, but still a troubling scenario. Not driving off a cliff is orders of magnitude better than driving off a cliff, but still significantly worse than ice cream.

People think it because those in power want us to think it, and tailor the media coverage accordingly.

I said this in my first interview, and while I still go the job, they made it clear that it was very much in spite of the response. Sorry that it wasn't my life goal at 16 to put tags on clothing...
