  projecthydra:

  to bash the said forums in his videos at every opportunity he gets, saying “oh by the way, I won’t recommend that forum to my viewers or to any JWs waking up” or “I can’t recommend that exjw community on reddit to any JW waking up; it’s become unhealthy and un-moderated.”

  I don’t watch all of Evans’ videos, but I haven’t seen any where he’s even mentioned JW forums let alone ‘bash’ them. It’s certainly possible that he has done so, but it definitely isn’t ‘at every opportunity’. I’m guessing you’re referring to something he said in a ‘livestream’.

  Maybe they figure the Russian authorities won’t be on the lookout for it if it’s not promoted.

  Some Other Terms For The "Big Bang".....

  folks: as you probably all know, it has been speculated that the whole universe, or cosmos, started with what has been called "the big bang.

  " but, i've thought up some other terms for the "bb".

  how about the big boom....or, the big kaboom....or, the big explosion...the big ignition...or...the big cosmic fartation.

  It’s more an ‘expansion’ than ‘explosion’. The term ‘Big Bang’ was first used to clearly distinguish the model from the steady-state cosmological model. The term does not refer to a disordered explosion.

  It also wasn’t necessarily the ‘beginning’. We have no way of determining what happened before that, or if ‘before that’ is even possible. But there are various hypotheses including several wherein it is not ‘the beginning’.

  It is a curious juxtaposition among uber-liberals that ‘gender is a social construct’ and there’s more genders to choose from than Baskin-Robbins, but ‘trans women are real women’ (and vice verse).

  Just let people live their own lives and ‘identify’ however they like. (The people who point out that gender dysphoria is a mental illness rarely seem actually concerned for the well-being of trans people anyway.) There are only a few areas where there is any impact on anyone else (such as professional sports or very young children being ‘raised as trans’; the ‘trans bathrooms’ thing is a non-issue inflamed by right-wing sources).

  Aside from a few noisy annoying activists and ‘athletes’, most trans people are just trying to live their private lives like everyone else.

  Anony Mous:

  Thus far it has ruined:

  That’s an exaggeration. Actually, there’s just been a notable instance in each of those sports.

  But even in the case of world records, if the rules are fixed up, then those records would be disqualified. so it’s hardly the case that it’s been permanently ruined.
  

  Again, it takes 1 person to permanently ruin the chances of any female to ever attain prominence in the sport.

  Unless you’re suggesting that a person can only be prominent in a sport if they hold the world record, that statement is clearly false.

  Diogenesister:

  no one mentions the simple test for XX or XY chromosomes in order to determine who may compete. Does anyone know why that is?

  Chromosome testing was used for the Olympics between 1968 and 1999 but discontinued due to occasional anomalies (though I am not personally convinced that the anomalies would be so frequent to rule it out as the primary method of determination). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports

  Diogenesister:

  He's famous for removing comments

  It’s his channel. If the alternative is pointless tangential arguments dominating discussion of a video, it’s probably for the best.

  Yes, that would seem to be the most straightforward method of determination for competitive sports. I’m not sure that there are so many trans athletes that it is quite the catastrophe for women’s sport that has been suggested, but there have been some very obvious examples of unfair advantage.

  I’m yet to hear of a case of a trans man desperately trying to complete in men’s sports.

  Who are you arguing with? You seem to just be ranting at this point. Has anyone in this thread even suggested that trans women are biological women? No one said it here. Evans didn’t say it in his rebuttal. Are you just venting here because you purportedly can’t comment on Evans’ channel? You’re literally complaining over a couple of seconds out of a 4 hour video.

  LoveUniHateExams:

  Dawkins has commented that chromosomal gender remains fixed, which is true - it's also the most important part.

  No, it’s not the most important part. It’s not remotely relevant to the evolution of eyes or flight.
  

  Dawkins is free to do that, and other people are free to say that they believe trans women aren't women, and to use whatever pronouns they wish.

  Now you’re getting it. And some guy with a YouTube channel can manage his content and comments feed however he likes. Unless you’re suggesting that he violated YouTube terms of service, there’s really no valid objection.
