mini "serving lesbian" d'nar

and whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore!

what? I was a theatre kid, that's all I can think when pinafores come up

Alt+7 is faster for the bullet depending on which you want. Or alt+9 for hollow bullet.

There's probably an app for alt codes, something that's been in PCs since literally the first IBM PC hit the market in the 80s. Another app for exploring Unicode symbols, something built into Windows for decades.

(Not that there aren't Gen Z/Alpha power users, but I get the impression they're less common.)

There's a segment of the population that learned technology before smartphones and became power users familiar with things like alt codes. Smartphones made technology and the Internet more accessible, but I feel like fewer people even have a concept of power users existing.

Me three! If I'm on my PC/laptop, I'll use them even when skeeting.

As someone who has studied radiation safety casually, this is genuinely a horrifying idea.

I feel obliged to disclaim any endorsement of this.

does he not understand that you could commission a replica nobel peace prize?

actually, someone should give him one . . . made of iron pyrite

"may I suggest you try lesbianism" legit just reminded me to do my shot so i can continue my lesbianism

> Yet they make up an astronomically higher Probability of being “champions” relative to their proportion of the female sports population.
This does nothing to support that claim. It only shows that being trans does not preclude winning. It is also not peer-reviewed data set. Or even a study.

If there WERE a surgery to make you shorter, you'd have no shortage of trans women begging for it, no matter how painful. Quite a few absolutely would sign up for "break every bone in my body."

I do note that many people also believe that trans adolescents must be compelled by force to undergo unwanted puberty changes (with criminal consequences for doctors that disagree), forever denying them the possibility of not having the changes you thought happen.

Our results showed no differences in absolute strength between transgender women and CM and no difference in relative handgrip between any of the groups in this study (figure 3). These results high- light the differences between athlete and sedentary populations. However, the results relative to hand size also concur with the notion that greater handgrip strength is caused by greater hand size,42 as there were no differences in results between the four groups when normalised for hand size (figure 3C,D). There- fore, investigations with more accurate measures of strength are warranted in transgender athletes.

Body composition measures (fat mass % and fat-free mass %, table 2) between transgender women and cisgender women found no difference. However, trans- gender women are, on average as a cohort taller and heavier.

CONCLUSIONS This research compares transgender male and transgender female athletes to their cisgender counterparts. Compared with cisgender women, transgender women have decreased lung function, increasing their work in breathing. Regardless of fat- free mass distribution, transgender women performed worse on the countermovement jump than cisgender women and CM. Although transgender women have comparable absolute V̇O2 max values to cisgender women, when normalised for body weight, transgender women’s cardiovascular fitness is lower than CM and women. Therefore, this research shows the potential complexity of transgender athlete physiology and its effects on the laboratory measures of physical performance. A long-term longitudinal study is needed to confirm whether these findings are directly related to gender-affirming hormone therapy owing to the study’s shortcomings, particularly its cross-sectional design and limited sample size, which make confirming the causal effect of gender-affirmative care on sports performance problematic.

The cited article finds that, /after adjusting for body size,/ trans women have comparable strength to cis women, and inferior performance in the other measured metrics. In other words, they found that taller people have more muscle mass and are stronger because they are taller.

(parenthetically – all photographers mostly take bad photos. even more time-consuming than taking pictures is sorting through which ones are actually good. this was the case even in the days of film.)

"True art is not political" is such an ignorant take. I think every humanities professor ever would Have Things to Say about that.

My limited understanding is that they're marginal even in feminist spaces.

Actually, where ARE the quotes from women objecting to being defined entirely by their reproductive organs? Some both-sides reporting would surely require comment from someone like Judith Butler.

Somewhat tangential but I get annoyed at how TERF gets lobbed about because most of the people it's being lobbed at aren't radical feminists (or even as you note feminists) and therefore can't be Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists. Like stop suggesting they're feminists.

what a classic shade of blue!

well they might not have public bathrooms for taking a dump

. . . am i weird for not having spent a lot of time looking at genitals and consequently not having strong opinions about what they should look like?? i honestly think they ALL look kinda weird

TL;DR: "Hon" is local Baltimore dialect, short for "honey."

I'll take your word for it! Seems absolutely insane to me to put a motor vehicle of any kind on it. Does it look like an ATV road to you? I hear those have a reputation of being death traps.

They likely meant it was a 26 % grade (14.6°) because that's how the road would have been signed (assuming this is in the US), rather than 26°, but that's still super-steep.
