Or….maybe that’s all we want to remember if it fits what we want. I guess if you were interested enough, you could look up the public records to find out why judgement after judgement has went against him. The ‘we may not know’ part is exclusive to those who don’t want to know. Or, you can stick with what you like hearing from the media. That is much easier after all.

It’s nice to see you have such a big heart for the victims of sexual assault. To be so kind to give them a whole two weeks. I mean, that’s an ENTIRE pay period for some people.

It’s been in front of judges a whole, whole lot. Honest question, at what point do you stop and think, maybe the judges in the cases have better information about the whole case than the information I get from media? Also at what point to you stop and realize, I in fact do not know how every person on the planet’s mind works in response to a traumatic event. Honest questions not meant for argument.

To fundraise 83.3 million dollars from the flock??

How did we get from the shores of the Carribean to Toto’s outhouse??

He also said he wants the economy to crash before November. Because…you know…America first! MAGA!!

well played.

You seem to be much more interested in arguing people’s opinion than understanding them. It displays in your countering over and over again every opinion you don’t agree with. But carry on, to each their own. Enjoy the weekend!

You seem to be under the impression that within this anonymous message board bears the reality of what is right and wrong, truth and delusion, and that it all factors in whether or not an anonymous poster proves it beyond the shadow of doubt on this anonymous message board.

The ORS is more about the development than actually making 'this year' olympic team. And that being the case, for the sake of our country's development vs the world, I'm not ready to take it away from everyone else because of one douchebag.

Women forced to swim with trans athlete at Virginia's Roanoke College slam NCAA and USA Swimming for failing to protect their sport (msn.com)

I'll try again: Life experiences that have allowed me to engage with a large variety of people of different ages, ethnicities, backgrounds, cultures, etc all over the world. Through those experiences I have and continue to gain a better understanding of human behavior.

Lay em out here. I'm going to start with Natalli Rize. If you tell me your feet don't start movin......I'm callin bullshit. Bing Videos

Good god

Not a whole lot of individual accountability in there. Every problem is because of a president.

I’m sorry my friend but Google is not a way to get accurate information on any hot button topic.

If a child was to dress a certain way, act a certain way, play with certain things, be entertained by certain things…..that’s fine. No problem here. When you want to start pumping chemicals into children for these reasons, that’s where the issue lies. Messing around with the biology of a child.

A continuously improving understanding of human behavior.

In some cases, not all, but in some cases.....yes. I believe the same for homosexuality. I believe in a majority of those cases where it is a choice, it is a response...to something. This is where I would be very interested in the mental health aspect of this.

I rest my case....

Looking at the geography there, civil war might be interesting. May be about time for me to buy another boat.....

Why or why not? As it relates to making those types of decisions/moves at young age: My oldest daughter was absolutely certain at a young age she was going to grow up to be a Muay Thai fighter, it’s all she talked and thought about. As she got older and experienced life as adult, her true path led her to art therapy. Imagine if we had made such a permanent decision for her at such a young age. Your situation is unique to you and is not indicative of the experience of trans kids. Is it a good idea to take one case and paint every other similar case with the same brush? What ‘permanent decision’ could be done to aid in being a muay thai fighter? Aren’t there female fighters too?(I don’t know the industry very well or at all) Are you aware of the non-permanent treatments for trans kids? >Where I'm from we call this an "example". In this case to illustrate a scenario where choosing a sport for a child is not nearly as impactful as "choosing" a gender for a child. As it relates to competing in sports, I think we all know the ‘why’ Nope. I don’t know what you mean. Plenty of reasons to let it happen. Especially at k-12 level. Curious why you think it shouldn’t? >If you are honestly going to tell me you don't know why a person, particularly on an athletics board, would not be in favor of a biological male competing in female sports (lets be honest that's what we're talking about here), then you are either being purposely disingenuous, or you have completely chosen to ignore the other side of this debate. Either way is an issue for you to address, not others. How many kids are we talking about? Surely you don’t expect anyone on this board to have that answer Fair point. Something to think about though. What % of kids and parents are we restricting? > Same answer What are the implications on the lives of the citizens effected(kids and parents)? Good or bad? Very loaded question, many effected, many effected in different ways, many would have been effected differently should it have went the other way. Not a one size fits all answer to this. Lets try both sides. Trans kids(k-12): negatively, can’t get mental health care(what that means I don’t know, but don’t like the sound of it, seems overly restrictive and cruel), much of the treatment is non-permanent up to a point, why ban it all? Makes it so they don’t feel accepted as themselves by the entirety of their state government. That can’t feel good. Also, gives people with hate in the heart one less reason to act on those feelings. Otherizing people almost always leads to violence. Parents of trans kids(k-12): Negative, knowing that your government won’t let you give the care to you child you feel they need must be heart breaking. Potential violent reactions from members of the community based on incomplete or false information(ie, Comet PingPong Shooter) trying to ‘protect’ children. Cisgender kids(k-12): they aren’t really effected by the law. Seeing or knowing possible trans kids in the community might get them to ask questions. Is that bad? They might play sports with trans kids(contrary to the law going into effect in 90 days). How is that bad? Safety is always a concern. No one wants kids getting hurt on the pitch. Will that be effected one way or the other if trans kids are allowed to play sports? Idk. Are they losing opportunities to advance, better leagues or to college? I don’t know. Would love to see some info on it. Might help to decide one way or the other. Parents of cisgender kids(k-12): they aren’t effected by the law. Not really seeing any issues with trans kids being allowed to receive care that would effect this group. Any thoughts? > I said in my response I would like to see how the mental health aspect of it reads out. So far you have only offered that you don't know, so I don't really have anything more to go on at this point. Anyone live in Ohio, how do you feel this will effect your state? Good or bad? N/A Fair Everyone else, does this change your opinion of Ohio? Which direction? None Hmm… how is that possible? Not even a little? > I wanted to give you the benefit of doubt in your real purpose of asking these questions, but since you even had to rebut my answer to this question among the others....rebuttal seems to be your real purpose. To answer your question, how is that possible: I read the statement you wrote, inside.....nothing happened. I got no feeling of favor toward Ohio, I got no feeling of angst toward Ohio. I got nothing, I just answered the questions. If you are going to ask how that is possible, I think you are going to have to talk to someone more profound in the world of psychology.

Also, puts restrictions on trans kids competing in sports K-12 and at the college level outside of their assigned gender at birth. Good idea? Yes (although I would like to see how “bans….mental health care” actually reads out) Why or why not? As it relates to making those types of decisions/moves at young age: My oldest daughter was absolutely certain at a young age she was going to grow up to be a Muay Thai fighter, it’s all she talked and thought about. As she got older and experienced life as adult, her true path led her to art therapy. Imagine if we had made such a permanent decision for her at such a young age.

Not if he had to pull out

I mean, to be fair…..I am around a lot of schools a lot of the time in an area well known for immigration…..I’ve never heard anyone actually involved in schools talk about immigrants over running our schools. Nor in all the time I’ve been spending in hospitals over the last year or so, have not seen nor heard talk of them over running hospitals. (There’s a thread on the media and agendas that is pretty interesting)
