Starlord Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Transgender wrestler booed after 2nd straight title I really feel strongly given the info in the article that he (I use 'he' because the article indicates that he seems to identify with that gender) should not be allowed to wrestle.

Sociotard Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Or just have him compete with cis-male wrestlers, especially if he is on hormones. Which seems to be his preference. Even though I was put in this position, even though I didn’t want to be put in this position, even though I wanted to wrestle the guys, I still had to wrestle the girls. But what can I tell people? I can tell the State Legislature to change the policy, but I can’t tell them to change it right now. All I can hope for is that they come to their [senses] and realize this is stupid and we should change the policies to conform to other people in my position.

Michael Hopcroft Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 China's Internet censors have gone into overdrive after the constitutional amendment eliminating Presidential term limits, and one of the search terms being blocked is Winnie the Pooh The change frees President Xi Jinping to seek to remain in office after his formal term expires in 2023. This further consolidates his hold on power, and the censors who prowl China's internet services are keeping an eye out for anything approaching criticism of the Communist Party leader. And why censor all references to the beloved children's literary icon and denizen of the Hundred Acre Wood? Because Xi's build and disposition lead what opponents he has to compare him to the Bear of Very Little Brain, and that cannot be allowed. Some things are allowed in China, of course: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
