Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Ban this plug. Thanks. What a horrible thing to say. The only reasonable conclusion to make it that either: 1) The account has been hacked by Trump, or 2) He really is Donald. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly ban worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible, but some things should not be joked about, especially like that. Horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 It's bannable whether it was serious or an attempt at humor. Bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 It's bannable whether it was serious or an attempt at humor. Bye. It's not enough if there's a community backlash? It's not like the person has posted about it again, or fought, or whatever. Sometimes we do need to lay down our social justice warrior swords and let a post provoke a response. Or not. (You'll notice that most of us gave it the attention that it deserved: none. This is a consistent procedure when KKK hosts a "rally" somewhere--no one, not media, not protesters, not a soul--shows up. You dig?)

matter2003 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 All I'm saying is that a woman who naturally has higher levels of testosterone than most is no more advantaged in running than a man who naturally is taller than most is in basketball. As someone upthread posted, we're all built differently. There is no woman that has natural testosterone levels anywhere close to even the average male, so the benefits would be near nothing unless they are taking steroids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Disparaging the boot is a bootable offense, right? Most likely. C'est la vie. So, I really don't care about all this, like at all. Everyone needs to do whatever gets them through another day. With that said, if Harrison Browne identifies as a man, then doesn't he have a moral obligation to not play in the NWHL? I mean, you can't have your cake and eat it too, right? I mean, if you identify as a man and force me to say he and him, then why are you waiting to go through with your transition because biologically (no offense meant) you are still a woman so are therefore allowed to play in the NWHL?

If Jack Eichel, tomorrow, said that he identified as a woman, would put off all forms of medical alteration until his NHL career was over, but wanted to be called "Jackie" and "she," would that be a problem?

No because there is nothing that says a woman can't play in the NHL, in fact, they have before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manon Rheaume's (sp?) pre-season stunt to try to get publicity for Tampa notwithstanding, no, they have not. All Browne wants right now is to be called "he." If that's really all of it, is there an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either it's biology, or it's what you identify as. It can't be both and you get to pick and choose depending on the situation for whatever benefits you most.
