Could be, but they would still be required to pass tests to prove their hormones are in the appropriate range, just like cis women have to do when tested for doping with testosterone.

If there’s any real debate to be had, it’s along the lines of male hormones and penises. Should either be present in a place which essentially only exists for the purpose of keeping those things out?

They are. Every sporting governing body I’m aware of requires trans women to be on hormone therapy for a minimum of 2 years before they can compete in the women’s category. This is completely in line with the medical community’s research into how long it takes before the benefits of being biologically male are counteracted by the hormone replacement.

The debate has been had in the medical community and has been resolved. Now random people who never gave a fuck about women’s sports before think they should have input when they have no qualifications, just because they have prejudices.

I no longer buy cereal because it has become way too expensive for the low nutritional/satiety value. Sorry, Kellogg, you’ll have to do better if you want to convince people to eat more cereal.

How high are you OP?

A while back I applied with the USPS and got called in for an interview. It wasn’t a real interview, but more of a presentation on all the required next steps to be hired (there were at least 20 of us in the room). I ended up getting a different job before my start date, but if you were able to do all the steps by the deadline the job was yours.

I’m a big fan of the Kroger butter chicken sauce. It’s gotten pretty expensive so I don’t buy it as often as I used to, but I think it’s super tasty. I usually throw it together with some mixed frozen vegetables and rotisserie chicken served over rice. It basically takes as long to cook as it takes the rice cooker to finish the rice.

Be careful not to get too loose of a sweater. My guy peed all over one of his because it hung down into the line of fire. Now he can’t wear it until after laundry day.

I’ve heard of people putting kiddy pools inside with sod during storms, if you have a garage or basement that will work for that.

That being said, after putting on and taking off his coat all yesterday when we went outside, my dog absolutely refuses to wear one this morning. I went out with him and stood on the porch while he did his business. I think going out with them helps them bear it a little more.

Note: my dog does have ~10lbs on yours though

My 97 year old grandma spent Christmas in the hospital with COVID and congestive heart failure. I’m honestly shocked she isn’t a part of this statistic.

New one dropped in September. Get it if you’re able

Absolutely, they are both a part of the problem. However the former likely won’t recognize they are a part of the problem because of the unconscious nature of their biases. So they won’t ignore the data because they don’t trust it, or whatever, but they won’t recognize how their actions contribute to it.

In the case of unconscious bias, they probably brush off the data because they don’t believe they are a part of the problem. It’s those other doctors who are overtly racist that are the problem…

Wow. That is stunning!

Agreed. OP should allow the first dog some space when he wants it.

Agreed.

I should not know her name. I should not know her intimate personal details.

She should have been able to mourn her loss in private with her loved ones. Not on the national stage as an example. She should not be at risk of prosecution because of this unfortunate situation.

My uncle was born on Feb 29. We both had our 16th birthdays the same year.

But they gave them 2 years worth of funds, so you would double the number.

This is roughly the equivalent of giving an American ~$42k. I think that amount of money would have a huge impact on people’s well being.

Note: I looked up Kenya’s per capital GDP which is ~$2k USD. Based on on the article stating they received $50 per month, than means the lump sum was 60% of the GDP. 60% of the US’s GDP per capita is ~$42k

It’s interesting, because this is a widely known concept in the finance world. Lump sum investing in the stock market is more profitable than dollar cost averaging that same amount over time ~66% of the time. It seems that holds true in non-stock market investments into people as well. They’re better off getting a lump sum investment into their accounts than having that money DCA’d to them.

Ehh…I think that’s a little different in that they needed a judge to determine who had the right to make medical decisions for her. The judge themselves weren’t making the call for what should be done, only if it was her husband or parents who had the right to make medical decisions.

This is more along the lines of my appendix is on the verge of bursting. I want it removed. My doctor recommends removal and is willing and able to do so. The govt says I don’t think it’s bad enough yet and if you do it now I will criminally charge you. Wait until it explodes and you are at risk for sepsis before I will allow you to undergo surgery, despite the fact I have zero medical experience.
