@janhopis Should someone able bodied with an old nagging back injury be able to play in the para-olympics because they “feel” most aligned to that category? Is that fair to the actual disabled player? This is the same thing.

@MidwestHedgie @EviAntonWorld This is the only cogent explanation about Lia I’ve ever read so thanks for sharing. I’m still hung up on the wealth of reputable studies that show an advantage in strength or other measures. Regardless, I appreciate hearing your perspective and learned something.

[BigPow @BigPowCapital]

@MidwestHedgie @EviAntonWorld Is the experience different for younger populations with stronger VO2 capacity? So would you then support a ban in certain sport but not others? How do you explain Lia Thomas going from a mediocre mens swimmer to a champion MTF?

[BigPow @BigPowCapital]

I get that’s your argument and I’m sure it fits some corner cases or some athletes. But on balance the overwhelming majority of reputable studies suggest there remains a male advantage.

And to the point about elite level athletics, whether or not true that doesn’t carry weight when assessing rules for schools which impacts scholorship opportunities and success opportunities for women.

[BigPow @BigPowCapital]

@MidwestHedgie @EviAntonWorld How do you control for what I’ll call an “opt-out” factor. That many athletically talented MTF likely opt out of competitive sports for various reasons to pursue other hobbies, or play sports non-competitively (you can still run outside without registering for marathons)

[BigPow @BigPowCapital]

@MidwestHedgie @EviAntonWorld I acknowledge that HRT is a large mitigating factor that removes a degree of “maleness” but the only relevant question w/r/t fairness is if there remains *any* advantage. It doesn’t need to be a full male advantage to still be unfair to women. Even a 10% advantage is still unfair

[BigPow @BigPowCapital]

1. You dodged my initial question. Despite mitigating hormonal factors, do you believe there is no advantage, an even playing field? If you admit there is an a small advantage, then you can see it is no longer about “trans rights” but about trans demanding special privileges at the detriment of women.

2. The psychology of a trans MTF deciding whether to play sports must be a tough spot to be in. I’m sure many recognize either the awkwardness and controversy their presence creates for teammates and opponents, and/or realizes their biological advantage (however slight) and decides not to play.

[BigPow @BigPowCapital]

Sure there are mitigating factors but all-in seems, broad brush, there is still an advantage in the vast majority of sports. Not to mention most HRT is not start pre-pubescence which blurs the picture even more. It would be impossible to govern a nuanced system athlete by athlete. Banning MTF from women’s sports is the logical and fair solution that benefits the most people.

It’s crazy that people think this view is “transphobic” or bigoted. Most people who support this ban have no issue whatsoever with trans people dressing how they want, having equal access to housing and employment, and other human rights.

@PythiaR As you know we don’t give guidance on the color on on our outlook of our future record-breaking quarters that would be even more record breaking but for these supply constraints that will forever exist

[BigPow @BigPowCapital]

You need to due diligence your compressor outdoors. Does it fire on when you call AC? Is there hot air blowing out of it? What about an hour later when it keeps firing? Is there frost building up on the coolant line (sign of low coolant)? Likely culprit is low coolant ie coolant leak

@Rog34392924 @ariaradnia There are some customer workloads that need to be onsite for various reasons, eg in some financial services, and in general gives AWS greater TAM. The $AMZN earnings call Q&A this week covered this question

@ShitFund The good news is portfolio is now well positioned to compound at 60-80%

[BigPow @BigPowCapital]

They would owe a ton of taxes if they sold either position and would be fullish to sell ANT pre-IPO anyway. Would be more shareholder friendly to do a taxfree distribution of the shares when the timing makes sense. Accessing capital market for capital when terms are friendly is a smart move.
