I'll repeat what I said elsewhere about this debate. You probably wonder "so what should the rules be to include an athlete for women's sports? Surely there must be some rule". This is understandable but please realize that the transphobes who are pushing this aren't concerned at all with the specifics. They're not even interested in women's sports. They want to remove trans women from public life altogether. Not just sports but everywhere. Intimidating trans athletes into obscurity is just their most recent tactic.

So please remember that there is no test that will satisfy the transphobes. There is no fair rule that can be agreed upon, because the transphobes will always keep moving the goalposts. This gets extremely complex. There is no use in debating these people. They will debate forever, because the actual deep down motivation is disgust with trans people.

Save your energy. Don't debate transphobes.

I still get teased about a player claiming bears can't go backwards and I just incorporated it into the battle. It was a one-shot for new players (and new GM). It was fun. Another player got pissed on to put out a fire. Fun times. "Anything goes" can be fun, don't overthink it sometimes

Israel is going to get rightfully booed off the stage

The more Israel obsess over how many tunnels there are in Gaza, the more I realize they're more like public infrastructure than scary military hideouts

Quelle surprise!

Fuck around and find out. I'm so sorry for everyone who was duped by libertarians pretending they will do anything for regular people and not just the wealthy shareholders, everyone who was held back by economic sanctions in a war against 'muh socialism', and all those who saw the obvious coming but were dragged into it by the other rubes. This is going to suck. I hope the protests will work

What the hell, no need to get hostile

But then they're not, are they? One is a supposedly civilized democracy and the other is brutally oppressed by the first. This "both sides" stuff is trying to ignore that one side hass all the power here to end the conflict and the other is just trying to survive. In such a situation you have to acknowledge that actions of Hamas and Palestinian are not completely free but a result of the situation Israel put them in. You can't blame Palestinians for resisting their genocide. Of course things get ugly, they know what's up

They are not the same even if there's bad guys on both sides. Israel is a rich state with an advanced military that tries to keep the other side in the relative stone age without any resources whatsoever. It is becoming clearer every day that this is meant to drive Gazans off of their own land, into Egypt or dead, doesn't matter
