Gun Rights ....  unless it's your daughter being gunned down by an AR-15 as she sits in a classroom or attends a concert event.

Huh?

Very sorry to hear about your daughter. My condolences.. Most likely would not have happen had not the 1992 "safe zone" law be passed banning fire arms from schools. Made them a soft target. Create a soft target and hope. Do you know who pushed that bill?

Same thing almost worked recently.

Any extra X or Ys still make you XY or XX. You can have both, extra, none, etc parts that make you intersex but that doesn't determine your DNA.

Allow me to be the first person to inform you of a condition called complete androgen insensitivity.
As I said, it doesn't matter. Do you have a Y chromosome or not? The other stuff doesn't matter.

That's certainly an opinion.

An AR-15 can't and won't "gun down" anyone or anything.  It's the person operating it that does the crime.

In sports that's BS.

Bravo. Can't improve on this.

I feel sorry for the Algerian, tbh. Talk about a crappy situation. I feel if the left wasn't so into forcing their narrative down the public's throat, most of us would be much more understanding of the situation.

When they have the choice they always punch down.

I think feeling sorry for people who have any kind of disorder is good and hating people just because they have a disorder is bad.

The people who feel hate towards her because of an opening ceremony or a magazine cover or any other "leftist narrative" that has nothing to do with her, need to check themselves. She isn't why Bruce is Caitlyn now.  She isn't why the opening ceremony included a queer fashion show. 

Normally Joe Sixpack doesn't even notice women's boxing, let alone attribute anything happening in women's boxing to any disturbing global trend. It's not Joe Sixpack.  It's elements of the right wing international media, including Russia, that are pushing the narrative that the two are related.

Nobody is hating anyone for having a disorder.. The problem here is that certain people and companies are glorifying this mental illness in the guise of bravery and heroism. These people are not heroes, they're examples of a progressive paradigm to make money.. 

They're trying to create a niche market where there shouldn't be one.

100% true that progressive media glorifies "coming out" as transgender and 100% true that transgenderism is a mental disorder or illness.  How we as society treat or ignore that disorder is up for discussion but it's definitely a mental disorder.

But this boxer doesn't have a mental disorder.  She has an endocrine disorder.  And I don't think anyone on the left was trying to score points on her story.  I think only people on the right were, in this case.

An AR-15 can't and won't "gun down" anyone or anything.  It's the person operating it that does the crime.

Then why ban anything.  I mean, I should be allowed to own grenades or plutonium then if we're going to place all the responsibility in the hands of the people, and not restrict the elements that cause extreme danger, if used in that manner.

Ok let me get this straight. There are people born with male chromosomes. They may or may not have male/female parts. Their testosterone is higher giving them more strength than a female without male chromosomes because of this. Then there are people born male but have decided to identify as a female, also with higher testosterone.  In both senerios when these people compete against males with like levels of testosterone they can't win. However, when they compete against women whose testosterone is much lower they can win.  In the past these people have been given the opportunity to FAIRLY compete IF they took medication to lower their testosterone to the level of females? These boxers have not done that. You guys know the people born as women are banned from raising their testosterone to these levels?

PS. I fail to see the difference between these guys and the East German doping females.

Yes, that's right. Glad you're finally beginning to understand.

No it's called biology. It's  pretty simple. If you have an X and a Y you're a dude. Period end of story. There are situations where things are out of balance but at the end of the day a man is XY and that gives them physiological differences that are advantageous in strength and conditioning. 

Please stop acting like you're a specialist in the field. You're not. You're embarrassing yourself and you probably don't even know it.

I don't know about plutonium, but grenades would be fun.  I have been known to set off some tannerite or dynamite on occasion.

The part in bold is the right idea.

There are no external or hormonal differences between XY people with complete androgen insensitivity and normal people with xx chromosomes.  They usually don't realize they are different until their period never comes and then they find out they have a vagina but no cervix.  They are not bigger or stronger than typical women.
