    You're ok with a DNA database for every athlete?

    Have you thought this through or has your Xitter feed replaced thinking for you?

    You obviously don't live in NY like I do.
    I did 12 years of campus Dining at colleges.
    I guarantee if I said that to a student I would surely be fired

    whatever is in your head that you think is this offensive, then ya don't tell it to students. It probably will come off creepy but that is just me teaching you basic social guidelines on how to be tolerable in public. So on the grounds that you don't want to creep that 19 year old female student then I suggest you probably don't talk about what a woman is to them. But that is again just basic advice on how to be sociable and not perceived as creepy.


    But here, be creepy all you want. Your students couldn't give a **** about the Clutchfans account.

    You people are weird as ****.

    "DNA database"?

    You don't need a full genome sequencing for this. It's a simple chromosome test.

    We test for illegal substances which could give an advantage. One athlete was disqualified because she weighed 100g too much.

    It's a complicated topic, and not entirely new - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Ratjen - but ultimately, the interest in all women having a right to a fair competition outweighs the interest of the affected individual (who might be intersex or transgender or whatever) to use his genetic advantage and rob biological women of a fair playing field.

    How do you get weird out of anything I said?

    I currently manage a staff of 50.
    Report daily in management meetings.
    Pretty sure I know how to handle my public persona.

    Weird like Winnie the Pooh kind of weird?

    "The interest of women"....


    How many women on this planet are effected by women with Swyer Syndrom competing in high level professional or Olympic sports?

    How many women are effected by patriarchal religious communities just in the United States alone like the homeschooling network that the Duggars were part of that had systemic issues with molestation of girls and young women?

    Which problem effected more women?


    https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/swyer-syndrome
    Remember 1:80,000 humans have this.

    When you put this type of persoecrige and analyze how terminally online people are about the first topic, you can tell the first topic is simply a distraction so people don't have time for real issues.

    Okay you know what. Go ahead and tell a 19 year old student that about your thoughts on what a woman is. But don't do it in some dark alley because they might confuse you for a potential molester/attacker.

    You aren't even a professor of some relevant subject that would make it even remotely normal for you to go up to a girl and rant about this. So ya, please try your luck. And if you think you are going to be fired because of "PC culture, no you will be fired because you are creeping out girls.


    It's like when JD Vance and Eric Wieinstien wax lyrical about the optimal role of the post menopausal woman. Like... Why are you even bringing it up weirdo?

    I have an idea.
    What about a special classification for those in this situation.
    Compete against others in the same situation.
    I suspect there are enough out there to fill qualifying.

    So women born with this syndrome must accept a life where they cannot consider sports because what you suggested is very stupid when you analyze numbers, market etc. How many people are going to be in Basketball league of people with Swyer syndrome? Would it be enough to even have two teams?

    Individual sports.
    And they would take less stuff than they/them did this time around.

    I don't blame them I blame the IOC.

    "Genetic advantage" is probably a poor choice of words. You list a person whose dick couldn't **** or make babies as the example.

    I don't like fitting intersex people into male or female categories but no one is going to start a league or Olympics of their own.

    Opinion over what a genetic advantage is in this context is mixed since you have women (spelled with a capital XX) naturally produce more testosterone and other markers for performance enchantment.

    Which brings back to the question whether one digs deeper into genetics to fit mob qualifications...

    You unprovoked talked about how you would get fired for talking to students about your beliefs.

    Yes dude you would creep out 20 year old girls and you will be fired because you creeped them out. You ain't a biology professor. You run a dining hall. Why would you be talking to students about what a woman is?

    You brought this up yourself unprovoked.

    You aren't a victim because you are creepy.

    Sure they should if they can get the numbers.
    Bro I'm actually going to dinner in the real world with my lovely wife.
    You keep hammering away on that sticky keyboard.

    As Pooh would say.
    I got a rumbly in my tummy

    Do you mean like an entirely different gender?

    That would make some heads explode in here... and not in a Biblically naughty way.

    That's tough for that one person. I was born with a congenital problem with one of my tibias. I deal with it. That's life. There are plenty of people with medical conditions. Doesn't mean they should get to deprive women of a fair competition.

    Why would you feel the need to talk about an imaginary life to me?

    Oh you really took the creep talk to heart huh. Maybe you did a dose of introspection on why you are contemplating how you'd be canceled telling teenage girls what a woman is as a dining hall manager.
