"It remains unclear what standards Khelif and Lin Yu Ting of Taiwan failed last year to lead to the disqualifications.
The IOC, which is overseeing the boxing competition in Paris, does not test for gender, and there never has been evidence that either Khelif or Lin had XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone. They have competed for years, including at the Tokyo Olympics and several world championships."
So, none of that is true. She may have high testosterone (which isn’t even confirmed), but none of what you said follows. That isn’t even how that works.
There is no trans woman in this case. A female boxer, born and raised as a woman, is being attacked and called a man. What OP is saying is that it’s basically because they don’t see her as attractive, and that’s definitely a major component of it.
What it comes down to is that they’re so obsessed with the idea of trans women that they start seeing them everywhere, and it usually comes down to someone not being quite feminine enough in some way, though there have been cases of people trying to claim some of the most conventionally attractive women in the world were secretly trans.
Starfleet Academy series is also in production.
I got glasses for the first time about 5 years ago. Since I work on a computer all day, I asked them to add the blue light blocking coating to help reduce eye strain (if you’re not familiar, it looks mostly clear but it has a very mild yellow tint). My frequency of getting migraines while working has dropped significantly.
Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the GOP still tries to run Trump even after he’s dead.
I fully agree. In this vein, I also think that Romulans and Vulcans should prefer green-tinted lipstick rather than red. In a few episodes in DS9 they actually did this, but most of the time they just default to red and it really doesn’t feel right.
The game is already out, has been for a few months. It’s on Steam, Windows & Mac only.
The game is built on top of Stellaris, with all of the space empire building that entails. It is sort of in the same vein as Civ, but it’s more real time and not turn based, and lets you get more into the small details in some ways than Civ does.
This is true, and ultimately fighting is how Vorik’s Pon Farr is resolved as well. So there could also be a Vulcan fight club for those afflicted.
Nobody here is saying it’s a cure all. It’s a step in the right direction. It’s better than doing nothing and continuing on the course we’ve been on. Do you think an “all or nothing” approach has any chance of working?
Diesel engines have nothing to do with what we were talking about.
And even if you want to call it a “band-aid”, that’s still better than letting the wound continue to bleed. It slows us down and gives us a chance to course correct, rather than barrelling ahead over the cliff at full speed.
You seem to be forgetting that wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, and nuclear power exist.
Not to mention that, even with coal generating the energy for the cars, EVs still have lower lifetime emissions than any ICE car.
Vorik and Tuvok both claim the problem can be dealt with through meditation, but both of them also fail to resolve the issue in this way, so we don’t know if that’s actually an effective treatment.
There’s also lots of ways a Vulcan could end up single, not to mention we’ve seen at least two instances of Vulcans rejecting their arranged marriages (T’Pol and T’Pring), so there’s no guarantee any given Vulcan has a mate, despite their customs.
It did work for Tuvok, but not for Vorik, so not a totally effective solution.
The holodeck can work, but seems to be less than 100% effective. It worked for Tuvok, but not for Vorik.
It does seem to be primarily on an arranged marriage system, but there are plenty of exceptions. Pairings that don’t come together for some reason, partners that die either due to age or accident, etc.
Meditation had been shown to be less than effective (Tuvok and Vorik both tried and failed to use meditation to get through their Pon Farrs).
It seems that, in universe, something about Vulcan physiology also prevents medication from being particularly effective as well (also failed for both Tuvok and Vorik).
That’s very strange, I’ve looked at a few recipes and never seen alcohol as an ingredient. It usually is just coffee with some spices, usually including cinnamon.
I was calling out the (mostly conservatives) who repeatedly say that we shouldn’t make any effort to reduce emissions because “China is worse”.
That’s the way we do things lads, we’re making shit up as we wish!
