It's Zelensky, but they were confused because "Z" has become a symbol of the Russian forces invading Ukraine.

Confirmed as intentional? More like he's such a narcissist that when someone pointed out that he'd misspelled it, he doubled down.

"It remains unclear what standards Khelif and Lin Yu Ting of Taiwan failed last year to lead to the disqualifications.

The IOC, which is overseeing the boxing competition in Paris, does not test for gender, and there never has been evidence that either Khelif or Lin had XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone. They have competed for years, including at the Tokyo Olympics and several world championships."

So, none of that is true. She may have high testosterone (which isn't even confirmed), but none of what you said follows. That isn't even how that works.

There is no trans woman in this case. A female boxer, born and raised as a woman, is being attacked and called a man. What OP is saying is that it's basically because they don't see her as attractive, and that's definitely a major component of it.

What it comes down to is that they're so obsessed with the idea of trans women that they start seeing them everywhere, and it usually comes down to someone not being quite feminine enough in some way, though there have been cases of people trying to claim some of the most conventionally attractive women in the world were secretly trans.

You think the CDC can afford to eat that cost? Who do you think they are, part of the military? They don't have the budget for that.

There's no argument on whether exercise is good for you, it unequivocally is. Exactly how much you really need, and what kinds, and what specific benefits it has are somewhat debated, but the mere fact of it being beneficial is not in question.

Every president sits judges, yes, but they specifically delayed and obstructed to prevent Obama from seating as many as possible, so that when Trump came in they could pack as many sympathizers in as possible

Copyright absolutely is still a thing, the network is just under the radar at the moment and the people who could be suing over it don't have visibility on usage of their stuff. But, make no mistake, if it ever gets big enough to get noticed, those people and corporations will absolutely sue.

No, you're voting to move in the right direction.

Voting is like taking the bus, you get on the one going the direction you want. And then, you get on another bus that continues to take you towards your destination.

You don't get on a bus going the opposite direction, or refuse to go at all unless there's a bus going from your front door direct to your destination. That's just stupidity. That's what you're advocating for, and we're never going to get to a better place if people like you don't wake up and see that.

Except, by refusing to participate, you are. That's how our system works. It's stupid, but that's how it works.

I think they're saying snip the header off so you don't affect it, then reapply at the end.
