The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Admit it, Mike. You got fed a line that she's trans, since she isn't trans, you must first admit you got lied to and deal with that. Then we can talk trans if you still want to, but I have a feeling you'll change subjects. - Lanbo

I have said several times my issue is with the negative effect of trans women on women's sports. A condition that I blame of the organizing authorities for the various sports, not the athletes themselves.

The specific female olympic boxer up thread is NOT TRANS!!!!

Using that adjective was a mistake, I admit it, and by doing so, I derailed the conversion I was trying to start. If this was Facebook, my account should be suspended so that the weak minded are not exposed to my dis information.

Now is that enough contrition for you? Enough to get past the individual and express an opinion on the topic of the slow ruination of women's sports? Recall that Title IX was established to create opportunities for women, the whole point of it was the unfairness of forcing women to compete against men for the obvious reasons.

I see why the organizing authorities don't address the issue, the cancel culture will come after you and call you an ass or worse.
