• On men-in-dresses and womens sport.

    From John Bowes@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 6 20:41:26 2023
    The men-in-dresses are demanding they be allowed to play sport with women! Just shows that at heart they're just cry baby CHEATS! No matter what surgery or drugs they've taken if they reached puberty they have an unfair advantage because behind all the
    surgery and drugs they're still men with all men's advantages in sport!!

    Rich are you having problems debating John B? It would certainly seem
    that you have a problem with this thread. If you have nothing to say
    on the subject, act reasonably and don't post.

    Rich is just another sorry little cry baby victim of Labours failed mental health initiative. This is what $1 billion plus has done for so many New Zealanders, turned them into feral slime....

    Your response says a lot about your family problems Rich!
    Interesting that you make an utterly ridiculous response like this rather than prove me wrong. But then you never have because you know damn well I'm right. something a far left leaning feral bastard like you can never be!
    Men-in-dresses who want to and do at present compete in women's sports are CHEATS! and you fucking well know it Rich. Are you possibly one of these men-in-skirt cheats Rich?

    Rich are you having problems debating John B? It would certainly seem
    that you have a problem with this thread. If you have nothing to say

    I was a bit too subtle - John Bowes posted no evidence in support of
    his surprising assertions; I 'presumed' that he had personal knowledge
    of such an event.

    The reality is that sports organisations are looking at qualifications
    for competitions, and trans-geneder people do create an issue that is
    much more public than previously. It is healthy that we have become
    more accepting of people that are a little different, and where that
    difference affects physical abilities, there will be different views
    about competitions that carry rewards of various kinds. The situation
    is not helped by ignorant and prejudiced comments, but the reality is
    that there is no single correct answer that covers all sports or all
    situations - rugby may have different views than spelunking or darts.
    The use of the word demanding is unnecessarily proocative; people wll
    apply to compete in competitions where they believe they have a chance
    of winning! Is that wrong? There have always been people who have
    physical attributes for some competitions than most of the rest of the population, whether that be physical strength, stamina, flexibility,
    etc or mental abilities of various kinds - combined with temperament
    and training, in most sports there are a small number of individuals
    who will be much more likely to succeed than most of the rest of us. ,
    just as some families are more likely than other to have members with
    skills in other human pursuits. Even so, most of our population willbe
    'in the pack' in most sports - we can accept the enjoyment without
    getting upset at those that have better physique or mental strenghts
    or whatever is important for the sport we enjoy.

    Plenty of things are life-threatening - this is not usually one of
    them. Let us have some perspective, exercise compassion and
    understanding of all the different perspectives, but over it all be
    kind, accept that ultimate fairness would remove much of the
    excitement and motivation that are desirable for competitions.
    Overall, how we treat each other has a more lasting impact than
    fighting about issues that most of us have not met in person, but
    which are being dealt with my those leading sports organisations. Let
    us be inclusive and kind, and fairness becomes much easier.

    So we see more utter garbage from the garbage king! you have as usual ignored my claims then compounded your feral attitude by not bothering to address the facts! The self serving garbage you posted doesn't make my facts any less facts! Now get back on
    topic you disgusting piece of feral filth!
    It's obvious you support these mentally deficient cheats! But considering your antipathy to women's rights, freedom of speech and common decency that shouldn't surprise anyone in this ng!

    No, but your posts are completely free of facts or logic.
    When you make a statement, have a look at it before posting and see

    You really do hate people posting opinions don't you?
    Not surprising considering that you support a government that itself attempts to subjugate opinion.

    Rich are you having problems debating John B? It would certainly seem
    that you have a problem with this thread. If you have nothing to say
    on the subject, act reasonably and don't post.
    I was a bit too subtle - John Bowes posted no evidence in support of
    his surprising assertions; I 'presumed' that he had personal knowledge
    of such an event.

    You are about as subtle as an angry bull in a china shop Rich!
    No, but your posts are completely free of facts or logic.
    When you make a statement, have a look at it before posting and see
    whether all you have done is post an opinion - if so try and find some
    reason why you should be believed.

    The reality is that sports organisations are looking at qualifications
    for competitions, and trans-geneder people do create an issue that is
    much more public than previously. It is healthy that we have become
    more accepting of people that are a little different, and where that
    difference affects physical abilities, there will be different views
    about competitions that carry rewards of various kinds. The situation
    is not helped by ignorant and prejudiced comments, but the reality is
    that there is no single correct answer that covers all sports or all
    situations - rugby may have different views than spelunking or darts.
    The use of the word demanding is unnecessarily proocative; people wll
    apply to compete in competitions where they believe they have a chance
    of winning! Is that wrong? There have always been people who have
    physical attributes for some competitions than most of the rest of the
    population, whether that be physical strength, stamina, flexibility,
    etc or mental abilities of various kinds - combined with temperament
    and training, in most sports there are a small number of individuals
    who will be much more likely to succeed than most of the rest of us. ,
    just as some families are more likely than other to have members with
    skills in other human pursuits. Even so, most of our population willbe
    'in the pack' in most sports - we can accept the enjoyment without
    getting upset at those that have better physique or mental strenghts
    or whatever is important for the sport we enjoy.

    Plenty of things are life-threatening - this is not usually one of
    them. Let us have some perspective, exercise compassion and
    understanding of all the different perspectives, but over it all be
    kind, accept that ultimate fairness would remove much of the
    excitement and motivation that are desirable for competitions.
    Overall, how we treat each other has a more lasting impact than
    fighting about issues that most of us have not met in person, but
    which are being dealt with my those leading sports organisations. Let
    us be inclusive and kind, and fairness becomes much easier.

    So we see more utter garbage from the garbage king! you have as usual ignored my claims then compounded your feral attitude by not bothering to address the facts! The self serving garbage you posted doesn't make my facts any less facts! Now get back on
    topic you disgusting piece of feral filth!
    It's obvious you support these mentally deficient cheats! But considering your antipathy to women's rights, freedom of speech and common decency that shouldn't surprise anyone in this ng!

    No it is not. I recall that there were some objections in the past
    when a farmer specially bred a horse to do well in a local horse race,
    where farmers raced along a beach and back - now horse breeding and
    humans training for sport are not only accepted but seen as an intgral
    part of sport. I am saying that the complex issues involved in
    trans-gender athletes are not really much different from natural
    selection; but they are different, and it is up to sports
    organisations to have open discussions and come up with rules that
    respect individual positions, involve open and frank discussions with
    those who have a legitimate interest, and where options are well
    signalled in advance will be better accepted by everyone.

    I also believe that the medical profession needs to look at the
    actions of medical advisers and practitioners should be looked at
    again; I suspect that ethical considerations alone may suggest much
    more stringent processes with independent review before irreversable
    operations are carried out; it may be that it should be much more
    difficult to commence drug treatments and surgery before either
    puberty or possibly even notional adulthood (say age 18). We recently
    banned conversion therapy - some would have liked that to happen
    earlier, but a good process resulted in widespread support for that
    change.

    Ignorant brain-farts giving unsuppported opinions together with wild accusations and allegations such as those from some in this that post
    to nz.general do nothing to advance rational decision-making.

    No it is not. I recall that there were some objections in the past
    when a farmer specially bred a horse to do well in a local horse race,
    where farmers raced along a beach and back - now horse breeding and
    humans training for sport are not only accepted but seen as an intgral
    part of sport. I am saying that the complex issues involved in
    trans-gender athletes are not really much different from natural
    selection; but they are different, and it is up to sports
    organisations to have open discussions and come up with rules that
    respect individual positions, involve open and frank discussions with
    those who have a legitimate interest, and where options are well
    signalled in advance will be better accepted by everyone.

    You ignorant feral supporter of men-in-dresses in sport! We're talking about homo sapiens not equus caballus! But as usual Rich avoids the topic of the thread in an effort to prove he's a feral imbecile without a decent rebuttal to facts that go against
    what he's been told to post about!

    However as so typical of you Rich you ignore the FACT that transexuals who reach puberty have an unfair advantage when competing against real women because of their testosterone!


    I also believe that the medical profession needs to look at the
    actions of medical advisers and practitioners should be looked at
    again; I suspect that ethical considerations alone may suggest much
    more stringent processes with independent review before irreversable operations are carried out; it may be that it should be much more
    difficult to commence drug treatments and surgery before either
    puberty or possibly even notional adulthood (say age 18). We recently
    banned conversion therapy - some would have liked that to happen
    earlier, but a good process resulted in widespread support for that
    change.

    Ignorant brain-farts giving unsuppported opinions together with wild accusations and allegations such as those from some in this that post
    to nz.general do nothing to advance rational decision-making.

    Your brain-farts do even less Rich. The ignorant ravings of a degenerate and warped mind would describe your ravings to a T.
    Did you ever reach puberty Rich?

    I was a bit too subtle - John Bowes posted no evidence in support of
    his surprising assertions; I 'presumed' that he had personal knowledge
    of such an event.

    The reality is that sports organisations are looking at qualifications >>>for competitions, and trans-geneder people do create an issue that is >>>much more public than previously. It is healthy that we have become

    Stop digging.
