Except the people who are opposed to Imane Khalief are not engaged in a good faith argument about gender not being binary and what a woman even is. They're trying to impose a binary by saying a woman has to conform to our standards.

Look at how they've targeted female rugby players and boxers who have 'less feminine' features in their conception by accusing them of secretly being trans women. It's all about appearances because these women dared to be strong while having strong facial bone definition

Okay but then would you put Michael Phelps in his own category for having:

• The torso of a 6'8 man and the legs of a 6'0 man, giving him a disproportionately large chest and less leg drag in the water
• A wingspan that's longer than his own height (his arms stretch to 6'7!), something so freakish and concerning that he thought he might have a disease at one point in his life
• Double-jointed elbows, chest and feet that are basically flippers because of how much he can bend them

Or do you just accept that some people are extraordinary and that a Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps or [insert female athlete with unusual physical characteristics] can come along once a generation and dominate a sport because they were born to do so?

Who said anything about women fighting men??

It's totally fine to be interested in these things. Where it gets murky is when people say things like: women with too much testosterone are too good and should take drugs to block their natural testosterone levels. Just because someone is at that 1% advantage level doesn't mean we should stop them from competing. If anything we should let them cook so we can see what the upper limits of human potential could be

We're talking about a cis woman who was born in Algeria, where gender reassignment is not a recognised practice. She is not trans, regardless of what chromosomes she has.

This weird obsession with female athletes who have too much testosterone or a Y chromosome being in some way at an unfair advantage is also absurd. Male athletes who are genetic freaks are just recognised as extraordinary for their height, wingspan or lung capacity. The same should go for women

Trump is the most dangerous figure in American politics. He's a demagogue, and a fascist insurrectionist. It's certainly arguable that he's saying 'we'll rig future elections so Christians always get their way' because we know that's what he has already tried to do and what he will undoubtedly do again if given the chance.

But it's equally arguable that he's saying 'we'll have the country fixed over four years, so Christians won't need to even bother voting again.' I've watched the video a few times and I think if you listen to his stilted speech it's clear he's doing his con artist/salesman schtick and saying 'believe me I'll fix your country so good you won't need another President.' Not to say that this doesn't also betray his anti-Democratic views, but I don't think this quote is the gotcha that everyone seems to think it is

"Autistically smart"?? There are many words in the English language that describe extreme/unusual intelligence. There's no need to perpetuate stereotypes just to do so

Pretty sure this guy just runs around Lemmy trying to stir things up. I had a run-in with him recently that was needless contentious and I'm not surprised to see him doing the same thing here

Would not have predicted a Hackernoon post changing my crisper drawer habits

See, what's great about this is: when they eventually get taken down for all the privacy violations, theft and future societal harms, they will already have all the politicians they need in their pocket so we won't be able to regulate them or break them up

This says nothing about Saudi Arabia deliberately ending the deal or wanting to opt-out, as OP's article implies. At best, they're saying the deal reached some natural expiration date. There have been no public comments either way to suggest that the deal has expired, anything out of the ordinary has happened or that it will not be renewed if this is the case.

More importantly, this is an opinion piece on the stock tip section of a website that is notably not a news agency. If this were true, it would represent a massive Geo-political shift and would have been widely reported by now.
