[Serious] That Trans Thread

[Rev. Rye]

For the record:

I looked through the COVID-19 conspiracy threat to see what study you posted made me backtrack. I failed to figure out what you were talking about. And now that you've actually explained what the fuck you were talking about, I looked at the damn study and realised that it wasn't quite saying what you claimed it was. While an unvaccinated person is likely to fare better with their second case of COVID than a vaccinated person will on their first, the study still affirmed that someone who was both vaccinated and had a previous case will still do better than an unvaccinated person on their second case. And when the unvaccinated and vaccinated have their first case, the latter far and away does better. And I pointed this out multiple times (search the thread for "belt and braces" to see me do this), and you persisted in your misunderstanding of the case.

To recap: Vaccinated with Prior Case (Belt and Braces)>Unvaccinated with prior case>Vaccinated Without Prior Case>Unvaccinated without a prior case.

And to get back to the subject at hand: Yes, I am fully aware that all the gender reassignment treatments we have can't transform a biological male into a perfect facsimile of a biological female. Literally nobody's arguing that this is the case. And sometimes there's going to be trans outliers who routinely kick asses of cis women, and seeing Fallon Fox go all Butch Coolidge on Tamika Brents is a good example of this. But, that said, the important thing is to figure out: are these examples the norm or are they just outliers? And, frankly, once a big meta-study on the subject looks at the subject and concludes "As long as they take their hormones (which tend to have side effects that actually negate many of the physical advantages they'd have in a vacuum, and hobble a few others "Harrison Bergeron"-style) and their T-blockers, their performance, is, on average, about par," there's a good reason sports leagues are starting to allow trans women to perform in women's sports. And it's not because of trans people bullying them into submission; it's because, once they keep their testosterone down, they tend to actually perform on par with cis female atheletes.
