Wow. ‘Infamy, infamy, they’ve all got in infamy’.

Is it too much to understand that sometimes there are bigger priorities (such as fairness in sports FOR ALL)?

Most people grow out of that childish ‘I must be the centre of the universe’ way of thinking.

But, you do you. As I say, we disagree.

Like you care.

Given that the loudest demands are always for trans-identified males to be in female spaces, and trans men only ever referenced when useful to make a point, like you’ve been doing here for the last several hours…

Give us a break from your manipulative, self-interested maunderings

I think they should understand clearly the rules around fair competition, and then make choices about their priorities in the light of them, as some have.

You need to recognise that the time when you all could demand that the world re-organise itself around the demands of trans people is passing.

Yes. We disagree. I still think this. bsky.app/profile/kama...

Really don’t think we’re going to agree here. You think it’s totally unfair to require trans men to meet the the same anti-doping regulations as all other women have to, in order to compete fairly. I don’t.

I’m going to leave it here, have other things to do on a pleasant Sunday afternoon.

This is what I said. Don’t think bad-faith misrepresentation does you much good. But I think you’ve shown my final sentence to be 💯% accurate - so, well done you? bsky.app/profile/kama...

Did I?

Of course it’s all about trans people - nobody could possibly think there might be other factors involved in valuing, and attempting to keep, sports free from performance-enhancing drugs (sarcasm emoji here) www.bbc.com/news/world-e...

I don’t think ‘sport should be free of performance enhancing drugs, apart from one class of people who should be allowed to take them’ is a particularly well-thought through, defensible or practical policy.

(Does get a ✅ for (yet another) ‘the rules shouldn’t apply to trans people’, tho)

Wasn't one of the important questions on that cognitive assessment test "Do you know why you are here today?"

Not to mention the Japanese Sequoia - Cryptomeria Japonica, the national tree of Japan. Bumped into this one at Mount Stuart, Isle of Bute - this picture is only the half of it, there were more trunks on the other side

Personality plus!

I hold no brief for the NYT, but this seems a well-sourced story, with lots of the sorts of details that people talk about (of the ‘You’ll NEVER believe what this guy did’ sort) bsky.app/profile/clan...

Is working on trashing Five Eyes cooperation - London requested that specific hi-tech post in London be retained, KP said yes of course. Knowing it had already been cut. And remains cut.

How to win friends and influence people - NOT.

Will no-one rid me of this turbulent hen-harrier?
