Quite possibly but not just speed. He sits too quietly during court and lately his rants after court are much more restrained and calm than usual so most likely self sedating during the day or a mix of both.

I've known a lot of speed freaks in my day and they tend to be a lot thinner so he's most likely a poli-addict.

I'm scoring 60 caps of dextroamphetamine later today myself. Total cost, zero! Thanks to our wonderful universal health care. They better have it in by now as promised as I'm down to my last 3.

:peace:

actually,

anyone who has undertaken the long, difficult, painful process to transition — not to speak of the social cost that your meme snaps into sharp focus — deserves to be regarded as, and accorded all the rights devolving to, a woman.

The meme plainly shows the bio-only bigotry whose ultimate root is toxic-evangelical doctrine.

My cousin went through the whole process. He does not get bothered at truck stops (long distant driver) as he is a BIG boy. Or was one, spent years in the military. I do not know any women that can drop him, not that there are not any. Could a man pining to be a woman be into sports and then decide to convert? Sure. But is it fair to women if he competes against them where muscle mass makes the difference? Given that men can put on more muscle than women?

It kind of loses the "sport" of it all if someone has an unfair advantage. :roll:

The fact that you are referring to her as “he” and “him” illustrates a real problem. I wonder if you also deadname her. Since you say she has endured the whole process, that means counseling, hormones and surgery.

Since she isn’t a pro athlete, the scenario is artificial. With her age no doubt beyond that of school-age athletes and aspiring Olympians, it’s also moot.

The big problem with othering trans athletes is that it drives a wedge between who trans people are — and who they are perceived to be. Any scheme that differentiates between women who were born that way and those who have completed the process to become that way is inherently bigoted.

I conclude that allowing trans women to win at athletic competitions is their privilege. Attempting to qualify their participation or achievement carries basic moral problems. Nobody transitions in order to win trophies.

Jeezus ….. another fucking democrat roach.

Sen. Bob Menendez indicted again for corruption, allegedly had cash stuffed in coat, gold bars

This is the second time New Jersey's senior senator has been charged with corruption. A 2015 indictment ended in a mistrial in 2018 after a jury failed to reach a verdict on all counts and a judge acquitted him on some charges.

Yep, a it was a Democrat who committed a corrupt act. How strange.

We have gotten used to seeing Republicans get charged. It's notable when a Democrat gets charged but common when a Republican. How many charges have been levied against their unelected leader?

Still though, if Menendez is tried and found guilty, I hope he gets the maximum. Why don't Republicans care when their own do the dirty? Oh, that's right, Republicans don't believe the law should apply to themselves.

Does it really make a difference which political party they hang their hat on?
There are thieves and liars in our congress. Like the president, they should only have no more that 2 terms. Every one of these folks leave congress a lot richer than they were before going in, and they have lifetime health benefits and bodyguards at our expense.

I use the term 'him' as it gives you an idea where he came from. He was a gung ho army type when he was younger. I have no problem with him, last time I saw him was with his rig parked out front of my mother's place. But when it comes time for 'him' to wrestle another woman to the ground 'she' (feel better?) will probably win. No, I do not call my cousin him, her, she, they, I use the name I was told she goes by now.

I think in terms of gender as in how many chromosomes a person has. Whether they grew up learning how it is to be a girl or a guy. Not a lot of guys get periods every month, a woman or man's body talk to us differently whether or not the wrong spirit ended up in the wrong gender's body. On my cousin's disposition, he still acts like a guy but with boobs and a dress on. He must still have male longings, he hooked up with a woman after he went through the whole process.

What has being a pro got to do with it? The whole problem really came about in high school sports from what I recall. No, no guy is going to change in order to get a trophy. But what does it do to the other females having a trans person win? Sure it may have some of them thinking it is unfair. And who said if you are transitioning that life would be fare and you get to play sports against other women? I have no problems with a person wanting to change their gender. But I balance that against the women in sports. Except race cars. That is a sport I could see them compete equally.

There are governing bodies that regulate fair competition already. What makes politicians know more about fair competition than the people who's entire job is keeping sports competitive and growing? There have been cisgender women banned from track events because of naturally elevated testosterone, with some coerced into surgery or taking medication to reduce the natural testosterone levels in their bodies for fair competition if they want to continue to compete.

I agree that the one case I can think of, Lia Thomas - the swimmer, causes apprehension when thinking about keeping sports fair. If there are athletes that were female at birth, and underwent gender testing to prove they were female, and were still banned because of too much competitive advantage - how likely is it that trans-athletes are going to become a big enough of an issue that required this legislation?

The issue should be studied further, but it has started and assumptions may not be reality regarding trans-athletes dominance in sports.
www.msnbc.com

Opinion | The Olympic committee studied trans athletes. Conservatives won't like what it found.

Few anti-LGBTQ policies have taken off as quickly as those banning trans women and girls from women’s and girls’ sports.
www.msnbc.com www.msnbc.com

If the R's are so concerned about protecting female athletes, maybe they should focus on what can be done to reduce the sexual violence they face compared to non athletes. We all know that won't happen, because it's not about protecting female athletes - it's about attacking people they don't believe should exist.
