Finn was First Order. They were like Trump’s second term when he won over many African-American and Hispanic voters.

It’s not statutory rape, either, in most jurisdictions.

Taking a day off is shirking one’s responsibility to the collective.

I’m rooting for Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Baby Ruth. Whomp whomp.

Again, not rape.

Nor did I argue for genital exams for little girls.

You’re trying to paint me as a pedophile and won’t let facts get in the way. That’s pretty disgusting. Maybe stick to the communities where that behavior is acceptable.

You’re pulling a comment from another post completely out of context. Someone said there is no such thing as sex with a minor. It is always rape.

That’s not true, and I used my own experience as an example. That you’re not creative enough to think why my having sex with a minor would not be illegal nor immoral is not my problem.

We have never needed a transgender ban. As long as we’ve had activities specifically restricted to girls, we’ve needed some sort of distinction. That distinction could be “Any athlete identifying as a girl,” but one is needed. Otherwise, what does it mean for a team to be restricted?

Remember that the question I was responding to is why does it work one way - restrictions on who joins a girls’ team - and not the other. That’s the question I’m answering.

Right, but I think that gives some insights. Boys sports in grade schools could technically be open. For very young kids, there’s probably even little difference in athletic ability.

Girls’ sports are what need some kind of sex identification and distinction. I’m not saying it should be based on genitalia or chromosomes, but that’s why the focus is there.

I guess it’s not the case in grade school, but in many professional sports and college, there are technically no “mens” teams. Those teams are open to any and all athletes.

It’s the women’s and girl’s sports where the restrictions lie, and hence the focus for transgender athletes.

I was also going to suggest OP try giving her a bone. GMTA.

Ah yes, the famous $4T club.

They’re splitting any cargo that washes up equally between all people.

I thought they give you bread in Germany.

Someone else’s shop was a sacrifice you were willing to make.
