It’s obviously not the notch, I get that — it was meant as a joke…
EDIT: The comment I responded to merely said “Nope” when I first commented.

Nope but I’m sure you’ll have the opportunity to make a local version the second it reopens

Ok can you give me an example of someone who was born without any sperm being involved? You literally said that you don't need a sexual binary to reproduce and I'm very curious.
Your example of an embryo is very interesting for treating some diseases but is not in any way reproduction without the sexual binary.
In terms of sport I appreciate Scientific American as a pop culture science mag but it isn't a research study. The article you talk about makes a normative argument for your position.
This one makes an objective argument about the advantage males have. It's also an actual research paper, not a magazine link.

Also the articles on intersex are irrelevant. That is a physical condition that is abnormal. Transgender is a mental state with no physical basis.

Haha just because you say it’s that way doesn’t mean your correct. These people exist and they always will do you will have to deal with that. Biologically the definition is gamete psychologically the definition is different. I can get you some sources on that if you want.

Johnny’s seeds in Winslow Maine are another great seed source.

lmao it's not my definition. Show me one scientific source that has a different definition of female.
You can't "identify" as female if you were born male. You could identify as a woman, but male and female are traits you are born with.
I empathize with people who wish it was different but not everything in life is how you wish it is. Males can never be females. Sorry dude.
And you have to accept your real beliefs that you believe that people who are born male should be allowed to enter spaces that women have designated for people born females only. Typical male privilege.
Going to just mute you, this feels like I'm huffing paint. Your cognitive dissonance is dominating your life.

It is very apparent you don't work in a scientific field, that your opinions (which is what you keep insisting are facts) are not based in any reality where research exists and that you are singularly fixated on continuing to repeat absolute garbage in the hopes that you're gonna stumble on a gotcha. You're right, I'm not listening because you're not talking you're writing. See how words are important. Again, if you weren't informed someone was trans in a lot of instances you would never know. It's not about sex it's about the gender you perceive someone to be and there are plenty of cis women that are in sports that you would likely label as trans using your dated assessment of what a woman should present as. Here's 75% of the work done for you, in case you don't read them one article states that trans women do not in fact dominate women's sports when they participate, in fact they lose quite often. I hope you read at least some of it and with that I'm all set on entertaining your drivel.
What do we mean by sex and gender
The idea of 2 sexes is overly simplistic
Scientists create human embryo without sperm
Transgender people over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime

Brussels Sprouts - I'm keeping my eye out for Diablo or Jade Cross. Have seen them recommended by a couple northern writers.
Winter squash - looking for a decent-tasting C. moschata since I've got borers. Waltham butternut does well, just want something else for variety.

I buy only from ebay, you get seeds that are usually harvested by other gardeners and the price is far less than buying in a store, I've been doing this for the past 5 years and I've never had any bad results.

Oh no again I believe that female identifying individuals should have spaces free of male identifying individuals. No I don’t think this should be determined by their gamete production.
No it is your definition and it’s not backed by the science period.

It’s our river not theirs!
Do agree not to walk on someone’s property, particularly if posted or close to their dwelling. Use common sense OP. I believe the state uses top of river banks as the demarcation.

Again, not my definition. This movement represents an iconoclasm of language. Just insane that you knew exactly what I was asking but you must have typed twenty pages of circular reasoning to avoid answering.
It would have been easier to say off the bat "no I don't think females should be allowed to have spaces without males, whether it be group therapy, women's shelters, women's fitness centers, women's sports or even in women's clinics, males should be allowed to participate."

Again the “biology” isn’t that cut and dry it never has been.
But let me play your game, adopting your definition of “biological sex” no I don’t think there should be a place that discriminates like that other than your own house hold.
I think physical competition is not really essential so yes I think anyone should be able to compete in what ever class of any sport they want. If sports are the hill you die on in this topic then that presents to me that you don’t grasp the actual hardship of existing as a person off the central curve of humanity. Trans individuals aren’t gaining anything you don’t have in life when it comes to survival.

> so that 1% really matters
It really does not. You are trying to compare gender identity to deformities or genetic issues. Trans issues are distinct from genetic issues.
You didn't answer the question at all. You changed the question to be asking about gender identify when I was talking about biological sex.
We have literally sent more than a dozen replies as you act like you are a comedian answering a different question.
Do you believe that females, based on the modern scientific understanding of that term, should be allowed to compete in female only events or should males, based on the modern scientific understanding of that term, be allowed to compete with them?

Worst part is that for a little while, you could actually get local breaking news on their website and TWTR feed. Like if you heard sirens and saw firetrucks heading out, you could find out what was happening within a few minutes but no more. WCAX and WPTZ have just about given up as well.
Local doesn't bring in the ad revenue so they just borked the whole thing

> In order to reproduce you need a person with a uterus who is capable of carrying a fetus to term, and a fertilized egg, good old science has shown you don't require sperm so your male and female requirement is inaccurate.
lmao this is clownish. Name one person who was born from a female with no sperm fertilizing the eggs. Human reproduction requires the two sexes to combine.
>You talk about biological sex as if there are only two which is scientifically
There are in fact just two sexes. Plenty of people have deformities but in terms of species normal reproduction, it requires a male and female. In typical development without any genetic issues or deformities there are just two sexes. Denying basic facts like that is just silly.
>We are discussing gender, not sex
See you aren't listening very well. When parents are concerned about their daughters competing against males they are talking about sex. Gender is a set of beliefs and behaviors that people engage in... this isn't about whether you wear long hair or not, it's about biology. Males and females are different and the differences are real.

Yeah not really. I literally answered your question. The trans community is not very big so that 1% really matters in this situation. You just want excuse for you to be correct which you aren’t in this situation

Not that it helps for actual breaking news like fire calls etc, but I’ve found the best way to get local new is using Google news alerts. I use mostly for work, but I have some for my town. Put in the relevant keywords and it finds the stories for you.
And on Twitter I have alerts for various accounts like 511vt and a few news orgs (not the clickbait corporate out of state owned ones)
