So why, then, are some women allowed to compete in men's sports?

What you have written above shows the discriminatory nature of this subject. Why would there be different rules for biological men and women, and then why would there be different rules for LGBTQIA+ people?

The "LBTG" (LGTQIA+) is not a mob. It is a group of people who are being discriminated against by a mob. LGBTQIA+ people do not think no laws apply to them and that they can do whatever they like. They just want to be given the same rights as everyone else. Anti-LGBTQIA+ people are the bigots. a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group:

I just answered this... There are many, but returning to the popular example cited over and over again on this forum, they are not allowed to use the gender-specific shower facilities that corresponds to the gender with which they identify.

For example? There are many, but returning to the popular example cited over and over again on this forum, they are not allowed to use the gender-specific shower facilities that corresponds to the gender with which they identify.

Those who identify as LGBTQIA+ are not treated the same way (equally) as other genders.

What equals rights are those ? The right to be treated equally and to enjoy the same rights as everyone else.

The equal rights of all those who identify as LGBTQIA+.

Yes, sarcastic, or at least insulting. I think women fear seeing or being seen naked by men. I'm not sure why. I assume they've been taught that men can't control their sexual urges and might rape them. Yes, and not just gender, but the whole gamut of LGBTQIA+. I am not imposing my will on anyone. I am suggesting alternatives to allowing some to impose their will on others. Yes, anyone would be able to walk in off the street and use a public shower I a public school, sports dressing room, etc.. If it's a private shower in a private home, school, sports dressing room, then, no. And rather then continue to argue with you about this one small aspect of the topic of this forum, I will just say that LGBT(QIA+) is NOT "OVER." It has been with us forever, and even if the rights of those who identify with it are being threatened now, those people will not ever go away.

Don't cough at lot while filling out your application...

I'm sure you can, but I did mine online with ease.

I think tourists in Thailand can expect fair legal treatment. It's not the same as the treatment the Thais get. Sometimes it worse, but sometimes it's better.

I assume you did not know that because of your sarcastic remarks about Marx. I think fear is the main reason many women do not want to either see or be seen naked by men. Gender discrimination is the same as racial discrimination. It's assuming because people have different physical characteristics, they shouldn't have the same rights. My recommendations are not policies or edicts. But, yes, you do have to curb the selfish tendencies of some individuals to ensure a beneficial society for all. We are talking about public showers, those in schools, team dressing rooms, etc. Anyone can have a private shower in their home or other places.

Okay, "bourgeois Christian values" maybe for some, but all of them are not Christian, and very few of them act on their "bourgeois Christian values." And, since you evidently did not know, "bourgeois" is a construct of Karl Marx, but his (and the Christian) utopia has not yet happened. It's been undercut by selfish capitalism. I think girls do not want to shower with biological men because they have been taught that is not the correct thing to do. I do not want to compel girls or anyone else to do anything. What I don't want to do is limit the opportunities for anyone in our society based on discrimination (think "DEI") 😉

I give up, why? Bourgeois Christian values that have to be crushed to make way for your Marxist utopia? So, you have no answer to that. Although I am not a proponent of any religion, why would you say it is associated with Christian values? The snake in the tree?

Okay, and why should the girls not be willing to shower with "biological men that believe they are women"?

My experience with the new tax laws is exemplified by an informal survey I took among the ex-pat members of my golf club. 14 out of 15 of them said they were going to ignore them.

This is just unbelievable! I can understand why Biden's reputation may wax and wane over the years, but anyone who has a favorable opinion of Trump, especially after he has assumed the position of president, is just crazy!

There are plenty of reasons to criticize Israel in its 70-year-long effort to take over all of Palestine, but doctors and nurses should not let that affect their medical services.

Just another autocratic, despicable action by Trump. There will be many, many more...

I rotate when I sleep at night.

I favor a two-state solution based on the territorial divisions of the UN Partition of Palestine in 1948.

I am "woke," so I am concerned with the interests of all my fellow citizens, not just the majority.
