How do you know what I've seen or haven't seen? I'm sure if I looked for it I could find trans hate speech but that's probably the same in most communities, there are trolls and bigots everywhere.

All of my exposure came from Reddit or here and any of the discussions that I saw, while frustratingly polarised, where about the rules in place, the fairness of said rules and the general fairness of trans women playing in a female league. I didn't sort the comments and I didn't doom scroll. Quite frankly the whole drama frustrates me and I don't subscribe to disc golf communities for pro news/drama.

Any of the comments that I have seen about trans athletes has not been that they shouldn't play, the controversy is about whether they should be allowed to play in a professional women's league or not. In my experience the disc golf community is very liberal and welcoming. As others have said maybe go with some friends to get a feel for it and don't let the online rhetoric keep you from doing something you enjoy.

I've not got experience with repairs like this but I would cut the lifted veneer with a very sharp knife, scrape any adhesive off the back and out of the hole and reglue with lots of pressure from something flat with as much weight as you can get on it. It won't be perfect but it will be flat again.

I have a friend who uses a saddle like that on his bike because he has to sit in a very upright position due to his physiology. It works for him and it's very comfortable but I doubt it would work well in a typical riding position on long journeys.

From what The Dude said initially it's to avoid having to deal with the legal side of hosting content that might be illegal. In that instance it being hosted here is the problem.

Looks like walnut to me, maybe American black walnut?

Sounds like a good decision. Good luck!

I like the asymmetric, assumedly non functional shutters

To be sure for yourself, you require two experts. 1: Get someone in to do a woodworm survey to check if there is an active infestation. There are a couple of easy checks you can do to make sure a 'specialist' doesn't try to con you. First is to get some paper and tape it to the underside of the wood, leave it a while and if little pellets appear on the paper then there are active woodworm in there. Second is a wood moisture sensor, from what I remember dry wood isn't palatable to woodworm but I could be wrong on that so do some reading. If there aren't any signs then it could have been there for a long time, depending on how old the building is. 2. You've said somewhere else that you'll be putting some stuff above it, if that concerns you then get a structural engineer to take a look at it. They can tell you if it's anything to worry about.
