    When you limit replies because you're quickly being ratioed

    Today I learned what ratioed meant.

    Been listening to a Jordan Peterson podcast with Helen Joyce today. Fascinating stuff about the mind and actions of teens going through puberty.

    It’s quite long but if you have an interest in this stuff -

    Transwomen were finally banned from competitive cycling. Trans Armstrong aka Rhys McKinnon aka Rachel McKinnon aka Veronica Ivy probably did more harm than anyone to transwomen competing in cycling but he was competing in masters events . The final straw was a trans woman winning an actual title . The fact a fat slob like Rhys was ever competitive actually proved the point about biological differences between men and women .

    Rhys spent years doing things like mocking a terminally ill feminist and suggesting that feminists “die in a grease fire” while being the public face of transwomen in cycling and appearing on talk shows etc. He clashed with Martina Navratilova a couple of times, she got the last laugh though

    Rhys got so comically fat before he was banned that the guy who’s job it was to hold him up on the velodrome couldn’t support him anymore

    Likely, as he'll probably be the only one competing.

    I actually think this is a good move as it will either provide a platform for trans people to compete more fairly or it will just show it up for the extremely niche issue that it is.

    @Catogrande it's open isn't it? Why wouldn't men enter both comps, bonus being if they miss out in the men's it provides medal insurance.

    Not quite too sure how outraged to be about this one.

    After all we had a chick fill in for us in our indoor team back in my late teens who went on to represent NZ and just this summer the potential future Mrs MN5 did bowl me out in a bit of BYC while I was trying to chug a beer and bat one handed at the same time

    I think where this could become an interesting balance of fairness for administrators, is when a male express fast bowler transitions and asks to play in a female cricket grade.

    @Donsteppa Aren't the bats and pads the same size and strength though? Might be a little tricky for running between the wickets when the ball rockets in from fine leg or third man when you are taking one more for the throw!
