    @ColinEssex hasn't even responded. I'm hurt. 😜

    Transgenders in Olympics

    It was enough of an issue during the Olympics when everyone accused that woman for being trans because she tested XY yet was born biologically presenting female. You mean you have little interest in hearing why your position doesn't work. Ok.

    Transgenders in Olympics

    Those articles always quote the same instances repeatedly. It's never anything new. It's absolutely not a myth. It was less than 10 students impacted at the time it was signed and everyone applauded like it was some big, world fixing, thing. It's sad really that people can be so led to...

    Seeking a Moderator for the Moderators

    After our DMs, don't you dare. 😉 Sometimes, ignoring people is much easier. Honestly, those posts seem to derail the purpose of the thread and this isn't the Watercooler. I would have deleted them. But that's just me.

    I'm being reminded partly of why I left.

    Transgenders in Olympics

    I don't think there would be a much complaint with finding a better way to separate levels of physical ability. I don't know the answer, but this isn't working anymore already if people are going to turn something that is practically a non-issue like simply 5 trans college students across the...

    Seeking a Moderator for the Moderators

    This is true. People often confuse free speech as meaning you can say anything you want, anywhere, at any time. Free speech laws across many countries protect you from government censorship or punishment. It has nothing to do with rules in a private forum. Jon can make whatever rules he...

    Transgenders in Olympics

    Oh please. This is not happening at any level of scale. There are far more teens questioning their gender or sexual orientation in silence because their parents would at best disown them, at worse, hurt them. That is far far more common, and I think you know it.

    Transgenders in Olympics

    It's such a minority case. There are also many more intersex people in the world than some realize. Swyer Syndrome is about 1 in 80,000 people. Born with XY chromosomes but biologically presenting female. They are often born with highly underdeveloped testes that never descend (of course)...

    Seeking a Moderator for the Moderators

    If you really need a moderator of moderators, just have the moderators nominate someone other than themselves. I think you'll have a better time than bringing someone new on straight to a higher position. You can also always bring in another regular moderator to replace their previous role...

    Transgenders in Olympics

    I think this post actually sums it up well, but not in the way you think. She got a Silver in 2017? Did a biological woman beat her?

    A ban of moderators? A repository of moderators?

    I know how that goes. I hope you can come out of this changes unscathed. I'll stick around for a bit. 😀

    Transgenders in Olympics

    Not as often as certain groups of people would make you believe. The internet has allowed information to travel so much faster and in the rare instance it does happen, we suddenly see it spread and used as fuel for said group to force opinions from and to their base. It really isn't as large...

    The more things change...

    My company was getting cheap even though we were making record profits. As an analyst, I had access to enough info to know they had the money. They stopped being willing to pay people what they were worth. When people left, they refused to hire anyone and just expected everyone else to pick...

    Seeking a Moderator for the Moderators

    And there it is. I tend to agree. I know I've been away for a short vacation, but it seems to me that the moderators do a well enough job still that there's no need to have someone to moderate them. If there ever is a rare dispute that can't be mediated, Jon can step in. I just don't see it...

    How to Build a 3D Printer?

    That is very cool. Also, my local library does 3d printing at cost of materials. That may be a good source as well.

    Seeking a Moderator for the Moderators

    Maybe have more than one moderator of moderators? One in each of these two countries would probably solve it, and any disputes between the two of them could be handled by Jon. ...or a moderator of moderators of moderators. 😉

    Best Gaming Controller for Both PC and Console?

    If you love racing games, you should invest in a wheel. Nothing else will ever compare. I've always like the Logitech ones. They make versions for consoles and PC, but typically you won't find something that can support both Xbox and PS at very well. Most will work with PC and one of...
