@NoNameNumberTwo Like war, poverty, climate change, failing education, voter depression and gerrymandering, harm being done to the environment, a mass shooting occurring more than once a day, fascists taking over states, tax evasion, billionairs buying politics (dark money and corruption), the economy, to name but a few issues they could be talking about.

@mingledorff Fascism is not a buzz word. It is a real thing, it has been for quite some time. Please look it up and find how bashing minorities and raising imaginary threats fit in.

For the vast majority of sports events there are no trans woman competitors. Having more than one would be even more rare so a separate category would be quite pointless. This is largely a non-issue. It would be nice if in the rare event of a trans woman competing in a sports event people would be a little forthcoming rather than making a fuss about it. Sports isn't fair, period. Some have long legs, others don't. You don't hear people complaining in basket ball that one player is taller than the next one. Either way, let the organizers decide. Fighting this is unpleasant and a slippery slope.

@teekay_1 Climate is not weather, it is measurable over time and has been measured. Results show it is changing quickly, along with the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere. We know we are adding CO2 and how much. That is a pretty solid causality. If you want people to believe the change would have happened anyway you must deliver and alternative explanation and point out how 1. The amount of CO2 we added does not have this much of an impact and 2. What does explain the sudden global temperature rise. Mind we would still have the same problem so an alternative solution would be nice too. Once you have this down we can start addressing the problem in the alternative way too. In the meantime CO2 output reduction and saving trees is all we have.

@ZombieSnail.. I am saying it is nothing for the general public to get worked up about. In any sport there is some body that sets the rules, they can deal with it if it ever comes up. In some sports trans people may get a pass, in others maybe not, it could depend on the case. It is nothing I feel qualified to cast a general verdict about. Anyone not close to a particular case who does has questionable motives in my book.

@MilwaukeeF40C Now you're talking. That didn't take long. Connect the dots folks. "Just too many of them". How do we fix that? Hmmm... Are you listening, Christopher?

@teekay_1 Rather than speculate on my (mis)understanding of fascism, can you point out where I am off based on my comments please? I see no surprises on the wikipedia page.

The problem is not witnesses taking too much time, the trouble typically is that members of congress are not interested in answers in the first place. They use hearings to make statements, not to learn anything.
