Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
If you are a post-pubescent biological male that wants to be called Loretta, that's your business. But so long as we have sexually divided sports as men and women, then dangnabbit, you're a dude and that's where you compete. The physical changes that occur as one advances through puberty are not undone by a declaration or drug therapy. They're done. You have a physical advantage in every sport except balance beam (well, until you get your junk cut off).
If a personal declaration is all that is needed to switch from men's to women's sports, and sex and/or gender are no longer scientifically based, then let's rewrite or eliminate Title IX and be done with it. No more men's and women's sports. Just sports. Everyone competes, and may the best human win.
While we're at it, take your "preferred pronouns" and "I identify as" crap and blow it out of your posterior orifice. You are what you are. Deal with it or change it (all the way, reassigned, no holding back, permanently). I'll support you once you've made the ultimate commitment. Otherwise, I'm not buying into your bovine fecal matter.
I guess I finally broke because I'm a former competitive swimmer.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
