I prefer you going on about bullshit like this rather than serious topics, Bambi. Your ignorance becomes slightly less offensive.

It's very serious to biological female athletes, girls and women worldwide.

My radio news just announced that;
" 'Athletics' has decided that Male to Female Transgender people, who have gone thru puberty as Male, will not be allowed to compete in global Athletics competitions as Female".

Well there you go.

The question here is relevant in contact sports, where puberty males might have a body mass and bone structure that could present some hazards to cis-female competitors.  This is one of the few issues, amid a vast sea of bogeyman issues, that I can see as worth discussing.  Unfortunately instead of focusing on real issues of fair competition and player safety, a lot of the RW seems more interested in exercising their bigotries and leaping to their conclusion that a birth male is inherently a threat after transitioning.

That is a bunch of sophomoric analyzing .The whole point of mixing transgenders into competition is straight forward, regardless of your bogeyman nonsense. Science long ago settled the debate.
You apparently assume that gay female sports participants meekly accept male to female transgenders and see no disadvantages in competition.
You might want to study the situation from that perspective just a bit more.

Red is concerned for rapey coaching staff like the Ohio State wrestling program. Think of the poor doctor or coach who grabs a players junk only to find themselves fondling unexpected equipment. It is almost enough to get Red to give up his enthusiasm for athletics in general and to start following the exploits of Russian army conscripts instead.

I just saw that Cameron Diaz wants to quit acting, a lot of people are quitting show business, and that is sad. In the old days a lot of people were grateful to be able to work in the Entertainment Industry, and it was a dream job, but now people are quitting.

Maybe Apple can bring back the joy of acting and of working in the Entertainment Industry. Maybe Apple can help to make acting a dream job again.

I hope that Cameron Diaz will consider producing for Apple, and she can help to fix the Entertainment Industry, and to make it a dream job again.

( Of note, Cameron Diaz is a local from here in California, she was born in San Diego. )

Salute,

Tony V.

Ms Diaz is no longer 21, or 31...and as such, being financially secure, could possibly want to take life a little more slowly, a lot more relaxed.
Sleep in, throw away watches and alarm clocks, smell the roses, drink coffee and watch Youtube videos.

We are having problems with crime on our buses and trains, and along with hiring more security, then they can also let the Police and Fire Fighters and Military Members ride the trains and buses for free and then crime will go down.

When I worked at a casino in Battle Mountain, Nevada, the owner was too cheap to pay for security at the casino, so instead we gave free food and free coffee, etc, to the local Police Department, and the cops all hung out at our casino, we had zero crime because our casino was the hang out for the Police Department.

If Los Angeles allows the Police and Fire Fighters and Military Members to ride the trains and buses for free then crime will go down.

Salute,

Tony V.

She can use her experience and wisdom to be a Boss for Apple, and she can be treated like a Queen by Apple, while at the same time she can help to save the Entertainment Industry for the next generation. She can help to create dream jobs for the kids who are sacrificing everything to go to acting school and to film school, etc. Apple is rich, and she could be treated like a queen. And Apple is local from California, and also Cameron Diaz is local from California.

When I worked at Universal Studios we had our own Police Department, and it was great to have our own Police Force. I recommend that Metrolink and the other transportation companies have their own Transportation Police.

Here in Anaheim I was friends with the City Council and with the Chief of Police at Kiwanis International, and I have always felt like the police in Anaheim try to serve the public in a good way, they know they are there to serve the people and not to be abusive assholes. We need for the cops to be a positive part of the community. I want for my local Police Department to serve me, the same way that our own Police Department served us at Universal Studios when I worked at Universal.

Salute,

Red prefers the Ugandan method of dealing with people whose sexual identities confuse, frighten and confusingly and frighteningly arouse, him.

Yes,
"There's no such thing as too much security".

'Dirty Harry' on every bus and train would be a big help.

Cannot fathom where you got that from my post.  You seem unable to manage reading comprehension - which explains a lot of what I've been seeing here lately.  Good luck to you.
