@notjustbikes Hey NJB, I was at my local farmers market here in Gainesville Florida at the Haile Village (a private walkable community) and I met an urban planning student from UF who was interviewing Haile residents about how walkability affects their lives. They said they loved your videos!
@williewong319@sunandfog@KurtSchlichter I'm fairly certain that most unhoused people do not, in fact, like living under such circumstances.
So you just want to force them to leave? Then they'll go to another city, that's not solving any problems. All that does is push the problem somewhere else.
@sunandfog@KurtSchlichter Interesting, that is something I would agree with you on. Do you see any Republicans advocating for policy such as that? I only ever see Democrats propose such solutions.
@BenjaminDanard @jdcmedlock Not exactly, the Senate Rules Committee could drop the Filibuster with the support of all Democratic Senators + Sanders and King. Manchin and Sinema won't let it happen though, so here we are.
@Pond36406033 @sojulida @step4battle @KeeperNzinga @Hireason13@therecount This individual is just keyword searching stuff that already fits with their views on the subject, I'd highly recommend just leaving them be.
@sojulida @Pond36406033 @step4battle @KeeperNzinga @Hireason13@therecount I have already stated all my beliefs on this subject. I at least got you thinking about it though since you responded a day afterwards at a strange time with an article. For my sanity however, I'll leave this tweet thread here.
@sojulida @Pond36406033 @step4battle @KeeperNzinga @Hireason13@therecount Sure it is, everything is political in one way or another. Republicans want to pass legislation overriding the standards put in place by medical professionals to rile up their base and hurt transgender children.
@sojulida @Pond36406033 @step4battle @KeeperNzinga @Hireason13@therecount It's just not happening though. There is no epidemic of transgender people suddenly beating their contemporaries in sports games. This only became an issue when Republicans decided it would be an issue.
@sojulida @Pond36406033 @step4battle @KeeperNzinga @Hireason13@therecount As the article concludes, these advantages are minor and even exist amongst members of the same biological sex. Do you want to start segregating sports by physical ability, bone structure, lung capacity, heart size, etc?
@sojulida @Pond36406033 @step4battle @KeeperNzinga @Hireason13@therecount For sports, the segregation of genders has a purpose. You need a good reason to segregate something, something you have still not given regarding Transgender individuals.
@sojulida @Pond36406033 @step4battle @KeeperNzinga @Hireason13@therecount What is the problem with them doing competitions with other women? You have not demonstrated any good reason for why they should be segregated. How would you feel if I said "Keep the Spanish speakers away from the English speakers, they're outsiders."
@sojulida @Pond36406033 @step4battle @KeeperNzinga @Hireason13@therecount If someone is medically transitioning from male to female, they will be taking estrogen. This estrogen decreases body/muscle mass to that of cisgender women. The Olympics already has the medically transitioned requirement and no problems so far. This new rule is just bigotry.
