Actually sex is defined by gametes, and there are only 2 different types. I get that some people don't produce gametes and whatnot, but those discrete 20 or so conditions which affect maybe 1% of the population are outliers. They can be dealt with. Putting XY males into competing with females just because they lowered their T is fucking insane and sexist nonsense. DSDs present problems but TIMs (trans identified males) should compete against men.

It is the males with AGP who are pushing this and using their male privilege to get anywhere at all. It is men who want to cheat who are pushing this. That no one listens to women is some of the problem, because women are complaining about this but being ignored.

DSDs present a problem, but the discrete nature of DSDs (there are about 20, total) means you could deal with them individually. Sport needs some type of level field, if that means excluding some people with DSDs from competition against females (they can compete against males) then so be it.

Trans athletes (cheating men, no transman would ever beat a male) are not people with DSDs.

Fallon Fox IIRC. And he desrtoyed a woman. Males punching women used to be looked down on, now it is celebrated by the idpol lot.

If you swallow the transwomen are women mantra then you need to allow them to be 'valid women'. The whole identity politics is a sham, males are not and can never be women, humans cannot change sex (and there are only 2 sexes, large gamete producers and small gamete producers). Women have been screaming about this for years. Transwomen are men and always will be (Twitter will ban you for this) women are being silenced by the idpol nonsense. Sport may well be the thing which brings the whole edifice down.

The males with autogynephilia want to cheat. The transwomen are women people want validation. Men are not women, women are not men. No transman will ever be able to compete against a natal male, the male advantages are too much, so this is just about men wanting to cheat and pretend to be women. Women are adult human females. Males cannot be females.

I don't know how you deal with DSDs but allowing men to compete against women is not it.

I was literally asked by a colleague at work to set up Flight Sim '04 for him as he was practising for his license. Sure it's not quite the same as a real world situation, but modelling aerodynamics is pretty easy for a modern computer. The big old sims they use for actual pilot training are not much different from some consumer sims. Hell even KSP can give you the basics of flight control, one fly by wire system much the same as another.

Pah it just lost my comment.

I do suggest you listen to some women and radical feminists for their views, listening hurts no one and the world is a better place when people with divergent views can share them openly without fear. Most of the radical feminists I've met seem welcoming enough if you can manage polite conversation.

It is not 'violence against women', it is 'Male Violence against women', there is a subject the violence is not committed by the passive voice. I criticise men because I think most men have something to be sorry for, whether it be hands where they were not wanted to rape and murder. I certainly have things I am sorry for. I did at least learn the lessons as a teenager and not repeat them as an adult. Male violence and male socialisation have also caused me worry and pain. So when the house of men is in order I can then feel in a position to criticise others. Until then I will continue to speak out on male violence. You may see it as anti-men rhetoric but you know when you read of a domestic murder, either it was a violent man killing his partner or those rare occasions when a woman abused for years finally snaps and kills the man. You see those same stories in the papers I do. Also male violence affects men too, more than 50% of reported victims of violent crime in the UK are male (90+% committed by males). Yes I get 'not all men' I do, I try to be one of the not all group, don't really need to say it, prefer to do something about the Problem. 100% of rape is committed by men (in the UK at least), it has something like a 2% conviction rate. I don't think men are particularly worried about it. As rape seems to be on the increase data suggests they are not overly concerned with being caught.

Also speak to your female friends, see if they would agree if male violence is a topic men should discuss.

But porn is not healthy sexual relationships. It's mostly abuse of women for men's pleasure. It is normalising the abuse of women in relationships. There is no alternative source of healthy sexual relationships available to many. Data seems to suggest abusive relationships are starting in teenage years and the growing asexual numbers who don't enjoy the pornified sex that is portrayed and know nothing else so avoid it all. There are many differing views on porn, I don't think it helps and the normalisation of porn into mainstream culture seems to be damaging some women and men. You can actually act out legally most things in porn so it's not quite the same as video games (I really like shooting things in the head sometimes). But I used porn for many years (never bought sex, never could I see that as personally moral) but started listening to women a couple of years ago. They make a lot of good points and I've not been able to find arguments against them. But a middle aged man can only give you a certain view, listen to others who are not like you, see what they think and then consider the whole.

But men are the ones most profiting from porn from mostly the labour of women. It's all pretty exploitative. You can't just look at the product but how it's made too.

If you also look up the nordic model and how it has actually worked https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnordicmodelnow.org%2Fwha... locking up the Johns does indeed solve the problem, providing help to the women, helps the women. If there were not such data on how you can reduce the problem I could see your point. But unfortunately there is data and it mostly shows what to do. If we didn't ignore it we could help people. http://www.feministcurrent.com...

Being as there is much movement to stop the red light district in Amsterdam, because even the regulated markets are bad for women. It's not anti-male (I am male myself) it's trying to make men better. You may think that men are fine, but metoo has shown that on average men suck. You can either try to make men better and call out shitty behaviour in men or you can be part of the problem.

Go and look at porn titles and see if there is any words implying coercion or rape (drunk, brutalised, pain etc.). I think you'll find there are many. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F... If being illegal was such a disincentive then women would not be complaining about the amount of sexual abuse they face. Really the 'boys will be boys' narrative gets far more play than rape bad.

As I say I am not focusing on the workers employed, I am not the person to ask about that. I am talking about making the buying of sex illegal because legalising it doesn't get rid of the problems it brings. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dutchnews.nl%2Fnews%2F... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spectator.co.uk%2F20... I believe those selling should be decriminalised, because putting them in jail doesn't help the women escape from the abusive situation.

Most of the ideas here are not my own, they come from women, if you'd prefer to read the same by a man here http://robertwjensen.org/artic... I would suggest you look at what some women (adult human females) have to say on the topic, there are many reports out there from women who have left the industry, I suggest you go look at what they say.

You seem to think that men should have a right to sex. So we differ there too. I too am a man, I'd like other men to up their game a bit, male violence is something not discussed enough amongst men. I don't think you can reduce male violence by being OK with violence against women (quite a lot of porn titles are extremely rapey, if that's the experience men are getting of sex what does that do to personal relationships?)

If society wants to tackle male violence then you also have to look at the rape culture and porn culture and how they all interplay. The incel 'movement' is an example of what happens when men feel entitled to sex. That many mass killers are men who were previously violent to women shows that this is a root cause of many problems.

I object to surrogacy, paid or not. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com... This is literally selling the labour of women for profit. There are so many children in the world who need adoption and fostering care, yet ripping a baby from their mother (the person who gives birth is always the mother) for selling is deemed appropriate in some places over and above looking after already extant children. The world's priorities are fucked as likely is the world.

I don't care what you do. I don't think men should be able to buy women as objects, don't think you can separate the sexism. Punish the people buying not those selling. While the top end of the market might be nice, the bottom end, is very much a bad place for women. If it is allowed to exist profiteers will exploit all price points. You can't on the one hand want men to understand consent and on the other hand be in favour of an industry which removes consent from the equation. Money is not consent. Those 2 positions seem to be against one another, my brain didn't like that so it decided to be more consistent. You are free to think and do as you please.

Tech continues to profit from the objectification of women and they have a persistent sexism and misogyny problem. I don't in any way wonder why.

Yes tech continues to profit off the objectification of women. It's really surprising they can't get rid of the sexism and misogyny which seems to infect the field.

All work is coerced. Coerced sex is rape.

I mostly like to ask how their geocentrism provides predictions about the world such as predicting the orbits and things like transits and eclipses. Because if the model doesn't do shit like that it really makes little difference if it's real or not. Go with the model which gives accurate predictions about observable phenomena. That's all the model is for any way.
