    So if you take no hormone therapy and have the muscle mass, bome structure and testesterone of a man, and identify as a woman will you get accepted?

    No because you would have a physical advantage. But if that man controls their testosterone levels and muscle mass then I don't see why not compete with other people on that same level including women. The same with women, there are some women who have bodies more similar to men and they have no restrictions against competing with other women. Maybe they should.

    Nope. 

     

    At this rate, soon adults will say they identify with being a kid or teen, trying to justify pedophilia. 

     

    This whole “indentifying” crap is getting out of control.

     

     

    They could but if the rules are related to physical characteristics not related to their self-identification then someone could identify as a horse and that wouldn't allow them to compete in a horse race if they don't have a horse stamina. So you wouldn't have to tell them you're not a horse but you are a pretty shitty horse. Seems to me a solomonic solution. Because frankly right now allowing trans people to compete sort of makes the whole gender division in sports pointless. I mean a man could just control their testosterone levels and compete in a women division using the same reasoning. And frankly, why not?

  3. so?

     

    I've seen cases of trans people winning in sport competitions of the gender they identify with. At the beginning I was against this but ultimately I think it is ok because in the end if the physical advantage is the issue then why not segregate other genetically advantaged people like blacks competing in running sports only against each other because they are usually faster? Maybe it'll be better to do divisions like in boxing related to physical characteristics other than race and gender and even allow male-female mixed competitions because I'm sure some women could compete in some male divisions from some sports and do well. What do you think?

    Well i think the reason for this is the type of brain men and women have.. Men tend to choose riskier high profit jobs while women lean towards care and education (considerably less dangerous). It should really come down to if you are happy doing what you are doing then do it. The focus on pay is silly, If you want a higher paying job then go for it! nothing is stopping a woman from doing so other than herself. We live in a very liberal society, its extremely fair, everyone has an opportunity to succeed if they have the will. 

    Nature + nurture. Science has figured out that most human behaviors are a product of both to different degrees and not one or the other exclusively. Also it helps that the brain is an organ with a lot of plasticity, meaning it gets affected considerably by the environment.

    It all boils down to men and women making different choices. Women should not be paid the same for a day's work if they decide to work 2 hours less than a man. It sounds like they are asking to be paid more per hour than men.. lol 

    Yeah but then the problem is to look into why women are choosing less paid positions or less work. Does it has something to do with their condition as women, maybe decisions of motherhood or whatever? There's an approach to the problem that could be useful to find solutions but not trying to pass as if women are getting less paid for the same amount of work because that has been debunked continually I think.

    you can't critically think about this kind of thing and actually believe their is still a gender pay gap in the western world. As soon as you do think about it and look at actual facts and statistics a huge hole is blown in the theory, so instead leftists resort to feelings instead of facts. 

    Yeah but I think it is a problem of discourse framing because they are dumb. There's no really a gender pay gap per se as in women getting paid less for the same amount of work but females could have it more difficult in the market because of other factors and so they work less hours or they take less well-paid positions, etc. So their discourse is badly framed and it is destroying their credibility.

    either you thought these through or Im an idiot, mine were;

     

    1. im myself and i love Den

    2. not sure (/i give different answers of where i've lived when asked) and by plane

    3. same as always

    4. same

    5. not what i want it to be

    6. possibly me

    7. its round

    8. violence

    9. unpleasant

    10. was probably high

    11. allowing it to happen

    12. nothing

     

    my 'nothing' coming from the same sentiment, words/explaining myself feeling more and more unecessary

    I usually get an immediate idea/feeling of what I want to say but take a little while to write it. I find these answer fast things hard otherwise. I can't answer with just one word for example specially these questions which are made I think to elaborate a bit.

  8. 1. just an overly complicated simple guy, I love people who want to live and let others live

    2. I come from a traumatic confusing process called childbirth and pretty much bumping into walls since then trying to draw up a map of this place. I still like it here quite a bit

    3. By making a decision to do it, the end comes without deciding though

    4. Worryless, a spectator with a beer on hand

    5. Mostly average, depends on the day

    6. Everyone, including herself

    7. It had pretty nice places to visit and contemplate

    8. You get a reference to how noisy silence actually is, but it is a very good noise, full of wisdom

    9. The limbs don't make the person/animal until a point

    10. She was making a bowl of cereal and the sunlight came through the window

    11. By having less regrets

    12. Probably nothing because words would be unnecessary by then

    Dude is sitting here championing Sea of Shit, Crapdown 3, and 5tate of Decay 2, then thinks he has the gall to complain about Japanese developers. :roff:

    For real... lemmings are the the ones who should least be talking about quality since they've been supporting mediocre crap this whole gen.

     

    But on topic, this is another game that performs better on the Pro than on the Xshit LOL

    I think Nintendo has always had a Tetris license, dating back to the Game Boy, and they had another developer make the game, but they can use the Tetris name and publish it.

     

    Something I read where Nintendo licensed it from the Russian government back in the 80's, and then in the 90's the maker of Tetris was able to reclaim the license and sell the rights, however Nintendo's rights are automatically grandfathered, or something like that.

    But recently Tetris Effect released exclusively for PSVR? I think it has to do more to the fact that the developer of Tetris 99, Arika, was in financial trouble. They sort of managed to barely stay afloat by releasing Fighting EX Layer last year. So Nintendo sort of picked up on a struggling dev and offered to help publishing the game in exchange of exclusivity. I don't think they will be in trouble anymore, Tetris 99 is a smash hit.
