Valid points and I fully acknowledge my oversimplification. I just wanted to express that some of these alternate paths might be more fruitful and easier to solve than just having an apartheid society.

Nah fewer bad people in the world is better medicine

I'm referring to people talking about the trolley problem, defense, war, etc.

When it comes to killing the CEO I'm not gonna argue it because your position is valid.

I agree it's "wrong" but I won't hide my smile, I wouldn't be sad about some other similar incidents either.

When there is no justice, there can be no peace.

Yes but now you're discussing nuance whereas in your replies to everyone else you're making a blanket statement that murder is always wrong.

You can't reject other peoples' nuanced arguments with a blanket statement then retreat to making your own when confronted.

Your POV is valid, and I'm not telling you you're wrong to believe it, but you haven't been engaging with others in good faith.

you haven't responded to the myriad comments pointing out when we feel it's justified to kill someone, like defending yourself and others or at times of war.

So, what's your stance?

Not sure any cis or trans person can match your density

but if the president wears different pants than the previous president that goes to show voting can affect change

how can someone be so lacking in nuance? your world is so black and white lol.

my guy, you really need to think through things more, you're so simple it's mind boggling

But maybe that idea itself is flawed. Most high performing long distance runners come from Ethiopia and Kenya, do we create a whites only league?

There are physiological differences contributing to these things too. Why does gender have to be special?

Conversely: why do we segregate men and women for things like chess? There's no difference in ability there.

Maybe those ideas are what's outdated and wrong, and we don't need to erase a certain kind of person. Ignoring that trans people exist isn't as helpful as finding ways to include them

Biological and genetic differences are always contributing to why some athletes are better than others. Also: the science on trans athlete performance is mixed and unclear.

It's a complicated issue, but I'd sooner reevaluate our attitudes and culture around competitive sports before resorting to creating a lower class of person. Maybe we take these things too seriously.

To expand on this, maybe we just have tiers of competition regardless of gender (like leagues) and people play where the competition is kept even. It might stratify so that there is more mixing of genders in the mid range and trans athletes may also fall into that range (but again: science isn't clear).

the world isn't so black and white, and this kind of attitude (preservation of the status quo, valuing order over justice) is what allows evil to persist.

Sometimes we need to get our hands dirty, and you're benefiting today from the people willing to do that in past generations.

Sometimes it's armies storming a beach, sometimes it's the people checking those in power

let's also give some blame to the DNC for pushing that dud on everyone
