As for a good look, I'll take a very gentle ribbing about sarcasm detection over shouting FUCK YOU at people because of a misunderstanding.

I didn't insult your nationality at all, it's a simple fact that many USAians are not good at detecting sarcasm. And the sarcasm in the original post was blindingly obvious from reading the words alone; tone, inflection and facial expressions were not needed.

The inability of so many USAians to recognise blindingly obvious sarcasm is truly astounding.

Banana Republic behaviour
Over in Dronfield in North East Derbyshire the town council are firmly aligned with the NIMBYs, turning down an application for a Junior parkrun because of noise concerns. The sound of children enjoying themselves in a public park is just too much for them.

Allowing a politician to routinely pardon criminals is banana republic behaviour. If you have a problem with unsafe convictions address the causes of that, but pardons or remission should be exceptional acts.

Sigh. I'm assuming nothing, I haven't made anything up. The video on Booker's channel wasn't recorded by me. Thinking people born male shouldn't compete in women's sport is not a fantasy or bigotry. You need to grow up and realise that people can hold different views to you without being hateful

Assuming I hate someone because I pointed out something you don't like or accept is childish, binary (ironic, eh?) thinking on your part. You're happy with people born male competing in women's sport, I'm not claiming you hate anyone, we have a difference in opinion.

I'm not laying down the law, just saying what seems natural to me.
Not just me though, do fans sing "Who the fuck is Man United*" or "Who the fuck are Man United"? "It is the champion" or "We are the champions"?
*Insert hate team of choice

A teenage girl gets punched repeatedly by a teenage lad and you fucking carp on the sidelines, making smart-alec remarks while knowing the square-root of fuck-all about the circumstances. A girl doesn't want to fight boys and that makes her a loser? Go fuck yourself

What's bigoted about thinking sport, which we segregate by sex for very good, obvious reasons, should actually be segregated by sex? If Khelif is female, fine, let them box other women. If not, then it's sad for them but only women should be punching other women for sport.

It was an interclub kickboxing event as a taster session for competition 2 years ago. Not that this is relevant to the discussion

My daughter was at a sporting event. I'm arguing for the principle, obvious to all but ideologues and zealots, that males shouldn't compete against women, and especially not punch and kick them in the name of sport, regardless if that's at the Olympics or at a village hall.

Nonsense. Firstly, I haven't called them a man and secondly, the people who have done so are claiming Khelif has a DSD which is entirely separate from being trans.

I've seen plenty of people claim Khelif is male (something I haven't done btw) but haven't seen anyone claim they are trans. Have you got links to these "constant" claims, Google wasn't forthcoming?
