  • I watched the Khelif vs Carini fight and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I’m an actual fan of women’s combat sports and I’ve seen them kick each other in the head way harder than anything in that match. Khelif had faster hands and better positioning. She earned the win.

    I’m related to several collegiate level women athletes and none of them give a shit about trans women in sports. I’ve never met a trans woman who’d even come close to competing with them.

    The people who are most concerned about keeping trans women from competing don’t even watch women’s sports. Hell, I doubt they even bothered to watch the 45 second fight yet have all kinds of opinions about it.






  • I’m not the person you replied to but their experience sounds like mine. I agree 100% with that. I really enjoy making my own tools and figuring out things for myself but what I find interesting and useful is rarely what other people care about.

    I’ll lose myself for hours making and axe handle with hand tools or cobbling together my own Linux desktop for the hell of it but creating yet another form to validate on a web app I have no need for is like pulling teeth.

    I wish I could be someone’s garden hermit and just grow flax and contribute to open source projects
