>you needed a fertilized egg

So you are saying without cutting edge science, in the context of homo sapians the animal, we need two sexes to reproduce?

>So while hormones indicate that trans women should have an advantage, they don't perform as anticipated.

The RESEARCH ARTICLE I sent indicates the opposite. Please read it! This controls for selection bias we see in non controlled samples. It is extremely extensive.

Reply to Public river access by ProfessionalPopular6

UPW rules apply to lakes and ponds.

American whitewater did a piece as rivers are are little more complex and they access depends on if they are navigable.

The people who say all water in VT is public have never read the law.

for the longest time we were the reason Walmart couldn't claim they were in all 50 states. They finally got a couple in but by god Vermonters are committed to not tolerating big box stores

Reply to Mud Season by DebunkerTheGreat

Well, all the ice and snow melted down enough on the unpaved road I traverse to reveal every pot hole again. Obnoxious, but at least not anything I’m sliding around on or getting stuck in. Just makes me look like a drunk swerving all over the road to avoid the worst of the attacks on my poor Hyundai‘s suspension and tires.

I think of that as a symptom not the cause. It's really death by a thousand cuts. We have exclusionary suburban focus zoning of the 1940s and 1950s , that bans or makes it impossible to build anything but single family housing in over 70% of residential zoned land. Preventing things like small mix used, boarding homes, hostels, duplex, triplexes, etc. Economic decline in large portions of the state's municipalities, shifting of job centers, disconnect between available stock and desired areas, car centric tourist development, bizantine building and safety codes. Rise in costs, etc. Speculative real estate markets and Airbnb are just another nail in the coffin of affordability.

Density is relatively, most villages and towns in VT have some level of density. Density includes things like duplexes or triplexes, four or five unit apartments buildings. Also a lot of old apartment blocks in small towns are pretty easy to miss you can easily dismiss a three story apartment building in Putney VT or Wilmington with a large single family farm house at first glance. You have the general stores with a unit of housing on top all over the state, that's density. We need to open our minds that we need this type of density everywhere.
