Yes. But I’m not paid continuously for the work I’ve done in the past, and I’m not paid the actual value of my work.

Should we still be paying Homer for his incredible work on the Iliad, do you think?

I work for a living, so I’m used to my work being exploited as a matter of course.

Nah mate. Information is free the second it leaves its source. Any attempt to curtail it after then is just a cunt’s trick.

I prefer my mechanical stress calculations in millidynes per square kiloparsec thank you very much.

Cretin

Well I gave it a go, but the very first argument was a straw man, so I didn’t have the energy to filter through 30 minutes of biased, disingenuous and amateurish documentary. If you could give me some readable sources, from credible sources, that would be great. You’ve made a lot of extraordinary claims in your original comment…

Gonna need a source of two there, chief.

If absolutely is not. 30 years is possible, and en perpétuité (forever) in very rare cases.

Everything is about Israel. They are destroying our species. Ignore what they are doing at your own peril, friend.

The one you’re too lazy to search?

You’re saying that social media is not the real cause of the youth mental health crisis? Do you propose a different cause? Because I know of a good few, very well-qualified people (of varying ages) that might explicitly disagree with you…

“Being really well dressed and using style to win people over is in the fascist playbook as well. Therefore drag queens are fascist.”
That’s you. That’s you right now.

There’s also the fact that they are too explosive to conform to flight safety standards.

Another nail in the coffin of the Geneva Conventions.
Growing up I always thought the highest laws in the world would be the hardest to break. I felt protected. But these last ten years or so I’ve seen how toothless they really are, and I feel exposed. Universal Human Rights aren’t worth the paper they were written on.

Great. Now you’ve cursed me with this too. That’s twice the amount of time I’ll be humming this bitch.

Ok, real talk, this is how bad it is. Once I changed the words to “maybe we’d be better off, if we ate beef stroganoff”. That day I learned to cook stroganoff for the lulz and my girlfriend is now addicted and I have to cook it twice a month.

I’ve had this song stuck in my head on and off for at least a decade.

Why not put that on the sign then instead of some vague, unrelated bollocks that doesn’t justify the removal? If that’s the case then I feel the wording on the sign is borderline dishonest.

I wish more people realised this. Well said comrade.

Thanks for saying so, I’m glad that the message came across.

The thing is you don’t align with the far right. At least I hope you don’t anyway. The far right either hate trans people, or they do not give a shit about them either way. They are using trans people as a political football to sow exactly this type of division. Yes, trans people in sport is an unresolved problem. No, I do not want the right wing to be the ones to resolve it. If you align superficially, you still don’t want to cede to them. Bear in mind “align” only goes as far as saying “we can agree about this one sentence”, not this whole issue.
Godwin’s law is fucked these days so let’s just use the third Reich as an analogy. You may agree that Germany has a legitimate territorial claim on Alsace-Lorraine. Does that mean you should let the Nazis take it? No, you fight them and then resolve it when someone more reasonable is asking. The reasons why should be obvious, and so should the analogy. It’s not about whether the extremely superficial claim is “correct”, it’s about why they are saying it and what they plan to do if they get enough people to agree with them.
In this case, where the war is one of ideas, you’re not a bigot if you agree in a very superficial way, but it’s completely redundant to be talking about trans women in sport when all trans people are being stripped of their rights and it looks like things are getting worse. A year ago we were hoping (again) for the first female president; long overdue. That’s not an issue anymore, as women are now being erased from history.
