    Contrary to your lived experience, it is not a prerequisite to be in your mom's basement to be posting on a basketball message board.

    Sydney Sweeney wasn't there. Noel Gallagher from Oasis and a few other well-known people were.

    I rarely peek into this thread and now I know why. You couple of guys who are obsessed with this topic are freaking weird. Like bizarrely obsessed.

    You guys also have no idea how Easter works.

    (hint… it’s on a different DATE every year.).

    This is the same as Lin fans saying he's a great player and deserves to be on the all star team with LeBron and Harden

    She’s put on the spot and trying to be politically correct.

    I think the best (i.e., least blowback) answer in this circumstance is to say that that people with female bodies should be eligible, and leave it at that. If someone wants to make the argument that trans women have female bodies, let them. It’s not something she needs to weigh in on.

    I disagree with your answer but I agree that she was in a no win situation. My answer would have been, no comment.

    A perfectly reasonable answer.

    I meant to say "I disagree with HER answer".

    There's no such thing as "transgender", only people pretending to be something they are not and can never be just like one cannot change their age or species.

    Orwell was referring to power structures. The entities picking on trans people are who Orwell is referring to.

    He'd make fun of terms like "freedom caucus" or "patriotic education"
