And there it is. When in doubt resort to suggesting others are bigots. Defend child sex abusers because of some warped sense of righteousness and different “levels” of pedophilia. Label people you don’t know haters. Classic.

Being a mod here - I’ve allowed any and all discourse to voice their opinions and sides. And as an American I’m allowed to do the same. I haven’t stopped you, or anyone else from voicing yours. It’s called freedom of speech. But you don’t want that, you want to censor anyone that doesn’t agree with your ever moving progressive views.
No one defended child sex offenders. You have to be an idiot not to see the difference between a person who creates child porn with prepubescent children and someone who unwittingly watched a scene featuring a slightly underaged person.

Let me guess: Your oh-so-easy definition of a woman is anyone and everyone with a vagina and no one else. And you tacitly condone using the wrong pronouns, dead names, or putting correct pronouns in quotation marks here. Yeah, that makes you ignorant and hateful. It's simple cause & effect. I thought you conservatives were all about taking responsibility for your actions. Act like a transphobic jerk, get called a transphobic jerk.

As a mod here, you're a joke. This isn't a US Constitutional issue. Middle school students could tell you that. Hiding behind "free speech" is cowardly. Could someone show up and start dropping the mother of all racial slurs? Is that okay? If it isn't -- and you know it isn't -- you are lying. But you'll let slurs about gender and gender identity go all day long because you agree with them.
 
Our SCOTUS is expected to rule on the most complex legal arguments and constitutional matters....so it should not be a stretch for any nominee to define the simply ask of "what is a woman?" IF they cannot do so, then I have little confidence they can rule on more complex legal cases.
 
I love it when the people who screamed to the sky in an emotional panic for four years over sensationalized and fabricated social injustices come to this thread after tucking their tails and leaving once the outcome of the election went their way, and talk about how it is an echo chamber. It is only an echo chamber because of the cowards left after their team won and they would have to start justifying... well, more like rationalizing the garbage their team dumps on our lives.

And the whole transphobic thing. Mocking a man, yes, A MAN competing in woman's sports I guess could be considered transphobic. These science deniers really need to pick a side between men calling themselves women and the actual woman. It is literally my only issue with transgenders. The same people who pretend to champion women's rights are going to have to answer to women who are having their sports history torn apart over a fraudulent progressive stance
 
This guys is clearly trolling. But it isn't too far of a stretch for people to think it is real.

It's a bogus, bait question and Judge Jackson was wise to dismiss it.

She should have answered the question...she will be asked to potentially rule on gender issues since they seem to be the cause du jour...so understanding her position is absolutely relevant to her nomination. By stating she isnt a biologist she defacto answered that gender is biology...

It was a bait question and I'm glad she didn't fall for it. She will base her decisions on what is presented in court, not according to her own beliefs.

Yeah, when you can't even state an observation w/o all kinds of slanted language, it only proves your point to all the yes-boys here.

Welp, you're admitting you're transphobic.

Lia Thomas was a nationally competitive swimmer on the men's team before transitioning. That process took 3 years. She met the NCAA's guidelines to compete this year. She won an NCAA title -- the first such individual title by a transgender woman -- w/ a time 15 seconds slower than her best while competing on the men's team, less than 2 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher, more than 9 seconds off the women's record. She finished 5th and 8th (last) in two other events.

Meanwhile, Schuyler Bailar, a transgender man, was competitive for the Harvard men's swim team, so...
 
I'll bet he gave Kavanagh and Barrett the same trust.
I believe Justice Kavanaugh's accuser. I did not watch any of Justice Barrett's confirmation hearing.
You're basically telling on yourself here, that you trust them but not Judge Jackson.

Just because most of us don’t indulge in your delusional fantasy that a biological male can wake up one day and he decides he’s a woman and presto he’s a she doesn’t make us bigots. What you define as a slur has become so watered down that no one takes it seriously. People like you are driving new voters to the Rep party every day. So thank you for being so far out there you’re out there where the buses don’t run. Appreciate it. As always thanks for the condescending lessons. My heart goes out to your students

What slurs?

She didn’t dismiss it entirely. She said she didn’t know bc she’s not a biologist. How to make a fool of yourself in 20 seconds or less

I am not telling on myself at all. I don't know anything about any of them. Never defended nor criticized any of them. I don't blindly defend people the way you do.

How offensive that you assume that we are all boys. Very transphobic and sexist and, (checks notes for other non related bigot terms that have nothing to do with the topic), racist.

I have a question. How does Biden, who’s not a biologist, doesn’t even pretend to be a marine biologist like Coatanza, know that KBJ is a woman? He openly said he was going to nominate a black woman for SCJ, I’m just wondering, since he’s not a biologist how he can just assume anyone’s gender. Please explain bc I’m so confused.

"I can't. Not in this context."

I'd already ruled out "men."

Yeah? What people have I blindly defended?
 
Getting good quality rain today to knock some of the pollen down. Banana trees are looking good, grass is starting to grow, trees are sprouting, azaleas are blooming and days are getting longer. It will be easier to drown out some of the negativity once outside activities start ruling the days. Any big Summer plans for you guys?

Going to spend a week in a Bryson City airbnb in May. Looking forward to that. Really enjoyed it last Spring. Then it will be all about getting ready for the little one. We live at the beach, so don't need to travel for that.

The people in my family are turning 50, 50, 21, 18, & 13 this year, so we're planning a big, joint milestone b-day party.
Summer is when my partner makes most of her money, so it's not an ideal time to travel. We're rescheduling a covid-delayed trip to Cuba later in the fall/winter.

50. Ya old bastard. I just turned 40. Never been to Cuba. Love the Caribbean. We just did a 14 day Southern Caribbean cruise this past January. Got to see 10 different islands. Some we had already been to. I have a dream of moving to Curacao. Been there twice on cruises and stayed there for a week in 2020. Always do the vacation in the winter.

We did that last year water was COLD. Last year we did a lot. Rafting, Great Smokey Mountain train ride, walked the trails at the road to nowhere, went ruby mining (lol) saw a few waterfalls. Rainbow Falls is great. A bit of a hike for someone used to flat land, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Love the area. We've been twice since covid. Boots in Dillsboro is a great steakhouse and we loved Haywood Smokehouse. This time I think we're going to do more relaxing things and enjoy the scenery.
