The Olympics are also banning biological females who have "too high" testosterone levels. So you can't have it both ways.

This is a good point to remember. Women are being banned for being naturally genetically superior to what's considered "acceptable." So by that logic, Usain Bolt should have never been allowed to compete. Lmao. Athletes should never be punished for having whatever advantages they have purely from genetics.

In this case though, I think there is valid reason to protest.

Yeah that's ridiculous.

So apparently there is a transgender woman (so born male, transitioned to female) who is going to be competing in the Olympics in weightlifting. In order to be classified as a woman by the IOC, you only need to prove by testing that your testosterone levels stay under a specific low threshold for the twelve months preceding the Olympics:

"Under current guidance, which the IOC updated in 2015, trans women athletes' testosterone levels must be below 10 nanomoles per liter of blood for at least 12 months before their first competition..."

What are your thoughts on this?

And I don't blame people for not wanting to get vaccinated; there is valid justification for having that stance on the vaccine. The process of developing it and rolling it out seemed very rushed, especially considering how new this virus is. And J&J was allowed to develop a vaccine and have it rolled out when clearly their reputation/history shows that they're incompetent as treetrunk?

This just says to me that these organizations are just in it for the money and using the virus as bait for people to get vaccinated and give them money. It's all about the coin at the end of the day. Nobody actually cares about us lmfao

Why don’t more people have this thought process?

I don't blame people who don't want the vaccine. Of course the vaccine production and testing process was a lot quicker than it usually would be, we are facing a global pandemic not seen in modern times, since Spanish Flu . It was deemed acceptable to push the vaccine through more quickly in order to try to prevent millions of deaths and endless worldwide disruption
The trouble is, if everyone waits a few years to see if the vaccine is 100% safe then it's probably going to be too late anyway

That's a good point which is why I also don't blame people who advocate for the vaccine. Both sides are valid IMO. If you want the vaccine, be my guest! I got it myself. The concept of herd immunity is legitimate and yes, we do want to make sure everyone is protected against the virus and its variants. But at the same time, seeing how quickly the vaccines were rolled out and how quickly new variants are developing and spreading, I don't blame people for not wanting to jump on the vaccine train for now. Eventually they'll all have to, I think... At least here in America. But I get the hesitation.

I just don't think anyone should be attacked for their stances on the virus/vaccines.

This was my very Libra Mars post ty for listening lol

I don't get why workplaces are making people go back into the office. Whether or not people work from home or in the office, they're always going to be evaluated on their performance and results. So what does it matter that people are working from home? You want people to spread germs around again like before and potentially spread COVID and make the government shut everything down again? Seriously...

Finally somebody made a thread about this! Lol can't wait for all the drama to start. 🍵

What's your stance on it?
