Let me ask that question again or better yet, just make this point:  One would think that you would grow an ounce of humility and put up some evidence any time I challenge you, rather than just appearing as an idiot with egg on your face, every single time!  

THAT, coming from the guy who promotes the Biden is a criminal crap without any evidence to back it up just like the GOP clowns in the House that lost track of their "whistleblower"...

He showed it Comey and the leftist on the committee who joined him to meet Wray when Wray came over to the Congress to present it.

Wray confirmed that the whistleblower was a person that the FBI has relied on for over 13 years now, and that he/she is highly credible. 

OUR FBI has paid him over 6 figures in the last decade for his assistance in other matters.  

So your claim that they 'lost track of the whistle blower' is your regular BS.  

Anything else?   

Anything else that you and your rightwing media HS have made up at this point?
Nobody has confirmed anything except in your imagination...

" News of Chick-fil-A having vice president of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) has some conservative groups calling for a boycott. The fast food giant has been a favorite among many over the years, due in large part to its religious roots and sporadic financial support of anti-LGBTQ organizations, but a previous announcement of Erick McReynolds, VP, DEI, who has been with the company’s DEI segment since 2020, has some claiming the company has “gone woke.”

I'm surprised Davis hadn't posted about this...yet...perhaps he's busy organizing the protests right now.

Something the US Navy is trying to figure out how to do. But, it's certainly possible, if:

"Multiple companies have fooled former president Donald Trump's supporters into believing that "Trump Bucks" could be used as a form of US currency, according to NBC News"
"...people are actually going to banks in hopes to exchange these "Trump Bucks" for real money."
“Now I realize, well, that was stupid,” the woman told NBC. “But I bought them because I believed President Trump, because he knows all about finance, and he was going to help the real Trump Patriots get rich.”

I guess the scammers were thinking that if Trump can grift as much as he does, then his base is ripe for it...

There would be no women in athletics above the jr high school level without this irrefutable and unimaginably simple distinction.

We also don't allow drug-induced enhancement of male athletes in sport to improve their performance. It also makes no sense to allow it to "reduce" performance in people trying to overcome chromosomes with chemicals allowing XY's to compete with XX's "fairly".

This is where the right has left it's mind:
Nikki Haley the other night on the CNN townhall falsely claiming the reason for teenage/adolescent suicides is because of transgenders competing in sports...
PS: That was just one of the right wing whoppers of HS she was flinging out to a hungry Republican audience...

Which part? Which sport? Guys and gals compete in k-runs together, and somebody wins first prize because of their ability and not their gender. So do we not have co-ed jogging events because of right wing disapproval?

Hmm, I'd have look into the effects of the hormone therapy involved in transgender treatments before I can make an informed opinion on this. In other words, in the case of a transgender male competing as a female with other females, do the effects of the hormone therapy and hormone maintenance therapy inducing the female characteristics reduce the male physical characteristics relative to strength?

Well, just because You personally never developed any musculature greater than any girls around you in junior high school or High School, doesn't amount to a hill of beans.  

I'm sure that Russ, Jim, and most every other man on this forum during their puberty lifted weights or engaged in male vs. male sports. 

The important years are in junior high and high school when surges of testosterone occur in males and they become much more massive physically than females around them.

It called nature and biology.  Maybe you don't have shoulders, biceps, triceps, quads and such muscles that define men differently than women, but virtually every man I know does.  

We don't look like women.  There's a reason for that.

If you can't figure that out, that truly doesn't surprise me.  If you have a brother or a male friend you may notice a difference between them and a woman standing next to them, but maybe not since your leftism seems to cloud even the most rational of thoughts with you.  

Leave it to an obtuse moron to post something like that.
Returning to reality and looking at articles, I see interesting findings:
"Joanna Harper, a medical physicist in Portland, Oregon, has conducted research into the effect of testosterone blockers on transgender women runners like herself."
"In 2015, she published the first study of transgender women and athletic performance and found that trans women ran at least 10 percent slower after beginning hormones. And, relatively speaking, they did no better against cisgender female runners than they had previously done against cisgender men."
Then the recent study: "A new study suggests transgender women maintain an athletic advantage over their cisgender peers even after a year on hormone therapy."
"The results, published last month in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, could mean the current one-year waiting period for Olympic athletes who are transitioning is inadequate."
“For the Olympic level, the elite level, I'd say probably two years is more realistic than one year,” said the study's lead author, Dr. Timothy Roberts, a pediatrician and the director of the adolescent medicine training program at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. “At one year, the trans women on average still have an advantage over the cis women," he said, referring to cisgender, or nontransgender, women."
