Well by that logic, why stop at masks? Let's make everyone wear rubber gloves whenever they leave the house. Let's legally mandate that everyone carry antibacterial handgel on them at all times and wash their hands after touching any surface. Let's ban handshaking - hell, why don't we just permanently ban everybody from ever leaving their homes? That'll be sure to stop the spread of respiratory viruses and thus totally worth it, amirite?

And why stop at respiratory viruses? Sexual infections cause all kinds of harm too - the obvious response is to ban sex. When people want to reproduce they can just use IVF - thank God we live in the modern era.

And by the way, do you have any idea how many people are killed every year in road accidents? I propose we ban cars. Let's also ban walking in case anybody trips over. And let's ban eating so that no-one ever chokes on their food.

Am I doing this right?

> as if other countries with universal healthcare have people dying while waiting in line for care

This absolutely does happen in the UK, although I'd pick our health over the US's any day of the week.

Ron DeSantis will be elected president in 2024. You heard it here first.

Can you at least spare some sympathy for the young woman who's unable to compete at the Olympics because Hubbard has taken her place?

> Go search for "sissy training" on PornHub.

I searched. I can't figure out what these videos are about from the titles/thumbnails, and I'll be damned if I'm actually going to watch these things. Can you summarize?

D'oh. I was trying to think of a connection between "Karpathy" and Bitcoin.

I don't get it. What does the word "Karpathy" mean or sound like?

> "discrimination is bad", no matter what.

Really? The most basic definition of "discrimination" is "to note or distinguish as different." Are you saying we should never be allowed to observe that, in reality, sometimes two things really are different from each other?

And she's just the one who was brave enough to speak out.

Considering that voicing your support for Hubbard comes with basically no personal or professional cost, while voicing your opposition can cost you dealy, I'm going to assume that since most people have remained silent then the majority agrees with Anna Vanbellinghen.

> there will be some that favor female.

Which sports are these? In which physical sports do women have an advantage over men? Can you name one?

> So, are you SURE that an individual that "lived in the prime of their life as a man" is just as strong as they once were once they have spent years on hormone therapy?

Yes. Male puberty confers lifelong physical advantages on the body in terms of muscle mass, heart size, lung capacity and bone density. That's why men dominate women physically in every sport, which is why women have their own special sporting categories so that they stand a chance. Hormone therapy reduces these advantage but it doesn't eliminate them.

> Is it fair to trans athletes?

Probably not, but then is it fair to wheelchair-bound athletes that they're physically incapable of competing with Olympians and so need their own separate event? Maybe the cruel reality of life is that we can't always accommodate everybody?
