Do you know why? Because rich people didn't want to compete against the poor. If you couldn't afford to compete, you didn't. The rich can't didn't fancy meeting Gary the local bouncer in a boxing match.
Signs were there, we just ignored them. Like for fucks sake, we got this impression from Joe Rogan podcast? Because that's one of few public things he's done back then.
You might be right, it is a mental fatigue. It's a mine field, be it reddit or Lemmy, they're the same. People are looking for any examples to justify lunging for the throat.
Its not a pretty subject and I have no nice way of saying it. So I'll refrain of diving in deeper. As I said, it's tough and sacrifices have to be made. This is one of them and I'm fin e with them being self regulated and not being called transphobes where public disagrees.

I'm not writing an essay to address your numerous of accusations because that's been done to death. You're not interested anyway and only want to argue in bad faith. You're just fishing for a gotcha. If all you want is a reason for you to justify dismissing comments, why not just move on?
I don't know the menu, seeing all the things flash by and not know what's in them is my reason, but in the 3 years I only been there 2 or 3 times for ice cream or coffee. But the logic applies for all other places.

End of the day, transitioning has many downsides and massive toll. Sorry, but maybe competing has to be one of them. Your example of pre puberty child that then goes to compete doesn't exist, right? Every example brought up is about someone who transitioned after their bodies were "done" growing.
As you said, don't paint it black and white when there is whole lot of grey on both sides.
He'd be dismissed because he's been dishonored.
Rape alone is powerful tool, rape in society like that? Is even worse.
