@Ember2remember @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @JessePrichard19 @bagelpowered People pay money to watch other people play video games. There are plenty of creative ways to earn a career. She knows she can't compete in the MPO, but she could still monetize it.

@Ember2remember @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @JessePrichard19 @bagelpowered All she is being restricted from, is using her gender advantage to compete for money from a protected division. If she cannot compete in MPO to earn prize money, maybe she can get creative with sponsorship while playing in MPO.

@Ember2remember @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @JessePrichard19 @bagelpowered She can play with women, at PDGA Amateur Majors, Pro Master Majors and all other PDGA events sanctioned at A-Tier level and below.

@Ember2remember @_dekdo @JessePrichard19 @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @bagelpowered I tend to watch women's sports because my limited athleticism matches theirs. If I want to watch performance above my own, I watch men.

[Ben Hansen @8enHansen]

@Ember2remember @JessePrichard19 @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @bagelpowered Agreed, if everyone was the same, all sports would end in stalemate.
I don't know of any trans men trying to compete with men, and I'm guessing that replacement testosterone doesn't override the estrogen they went through puberty with.

@Ember2remember @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @JessePrichard19 @bagelpowered Genetics is not fair though, so no one starts the same. Some people, through no fault of their own, just have an advantage that others will have to find creative ways to overcome.

@Ember2remember @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @JessePrichard19 @bagelpowered 1. I wouldn't know or care. 2. Ditto. 3. She is a Trans Woman, and out of courtesy I would address her as one. But she was not born a woman. 4. Yes, but not a 100% change.

@Ember2remember @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @JessePrichard19 @bagelpowered Yes, it is a imperfect tool to assess skill in order to qualify for the Tour. It also lets you cash grab a run of signature discs if you reach the highest number.

@JessePrichard19 @Ember2remember @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @bagelpowered And all of the MPO was born with estrogen. It's the ratio that translates into greater physical strength.

[Ben Hansen @8enHansen]

@Ember2remember @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @JessePrichard19 @bagelpowered She was born with testosterone, that is what is unfair. Her inconsistency in play is not uncommon by men or women.

@Ember2remember @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @JessePrichard19 @bagelpowered Which proves Natalie's intention is about money, not fairness. She's using a competitive advantage to make money. Natalie can play, just not in a protected division. I'm a 44 year old male who can't play in MA50. Am I being discriminated against?

[Ben Hansen @8enHansen]

@Ember2remember @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @JessePrichard19 @bagelpowered Name a single woman who has been denied the ability to play MPO.

[Ben Hansen @8enHansen]

@Ember2remember @JohnSumner174 @NwMuseumNwUDont @_dekdo @JessePrichard19 @bagelpowered MPO is not the men's division

@enpar_io @CBSNews You can see his distorted face in the orb as well

@Gal67Pats @laurenpeikoff @Google It looks like she did lower case both times. This was definitely a fix from Google.

@FBIWFO Maybe link to all the info already gathered with better photos and video, rather than just the one photo. https://t.co/iSRhjKttRS

@BlaylockLori @dwilsted @PeteMinde @FBIWFO @nycjim Better photos here. It does look like Ferrari. https://t.co/iSRhjKttRS

@BlaylockLori @dwilsted @PeteMinde @FBIWFO @nycjim Cascadian Liberation Front - Doesn't make sense with the politics and the octopus, but the Peruvian hat would fit better

[Ben Hansen @8enHansen]

@BlaylockLori @dwilsted @PeteMinde @FBIWFO @nycjim At first glance yes, but there is no "SF" below the horse. It's hard to pick out the italian flag colors on the top of the chevron. It also looks like a patch with the square around the logo. The peruvian hat is strange as well.
