trans-gendered people are trying to do sports so fucking much that this Wikipedia page somehow exists

The red scare might be long gone (although it isn't really, because the geriatrics on Fox still shake their canes at it), but its international effects haven't faded away.
valid question
No such thing under the Ein Paradigm™. All questions or related answers are but straw.
You both raise good points
The case I make for reparations is, virtually every institution with some degree of history in America, be it public, be it private, has a history of extracting wealth and resources out of the African-American community. I think what has often been missing—this is what I was trying to make the point of in 2014—that behind all of that oppression was actually theft. In other words, this is not just mean. This is not just maltreatment. This is the theft of resources out of that community.
Just ignore that non-whites/Asians as a population contribute a massive net deficit to our public spending.
We use lab experiments and field data from the Dutch Math Olympiad to show that women are more likely than men to stop competing if they lose. In a math competition in the lab, women are much less likely than men to choose competition again after losing in the first round. In the Math Olympiad, girls, but not boys, who fail to make the second round are less likely to compete again one year later. This gender difference in the reaction to competition outcomes may help to explain why fewer women make it to the top in business and academia. (JEL C90, D82, D91, J16)
Researchers surveyed 32,748 Dutch women between the ages of 15 and 45 to evaluate lost productivity associated with menstrual symptoms. They measured both time off from work or school, as well as working or studying while feeling ill -- what the study termed "presenteeism."
The study, which was published Thursday, found that around 1 in 7, just under 14%, had taken time off from work or school during their period and 3.5% said that this happened during every, or nearly every, menstrual cycle.
Some 81% of the Dutch women said they had been less productive as a result of their menstrual symptoms. On average, the researchers calculated, women were absent from work or school 1.3 days per year because of their period and, on average, productivity loss was equivalent to 8.9 days per year.
"Women said that they weren't as productive as they could be while at work -- they needed to go to the toilet every hour or they had a headache and couldn't concentrate," said Theodoor Nieboer, an author of the report and a gynecologist at the Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands.
He added that women under the age of 21 were around three times more likely than older women to say they had taken time off because of their menstrual symptoms.

Didn't know CNN would spew such a sexist myth:
Hadn't known that CNN would promote such hateful and ignorant statistics:

Maybe the lesson here is that CNN isn't quite the left-wing bias-machine that many people assume it is...![]()
