say what you want about viv, but at the end of the day he's a message board hall of famer.
the post counts, the longevity.... whenever he unplugs his keyboard the numbers will speak for themselves. but its more than stats. remember the way he'd waltz up to the virtual deuce bar on a friday afternoon and order a custom smart cocktail? or that chili recipe that he gave out until someone complained of cocoa powder poisoning? or how about that nfl draft bit where--for reasons that will never be known or understood--he pretended for years to be devoting untold hours to scouting amateur football talent? bottom line is this guy has given us some great moments.
and if theres an internet cliche or reference, he's mastered it. all the petty lines from early internet days that you love like, "bro, who pissed in your cheerios??" yeah, better believe he's still got them locked and loaded in a mental rolodex. so if that's your definition of inferior, we just have to agree to disagree.

density is much lower than men, their muscle mass is much lower and their brains run 8-12% smaller than men. These material disadvantages are why separate classes were created for athletics and rigorous intellectual endeavors like chess. The Party of Science must decide whether it agrees that these disadvantages exist and warrant a separate class or else we just need to merge everything into one and the women who can make it can go ahead and participate.
The cognitive dissonance along these lines has been frying liberals' brains for decades. Over 3 decades ago an astute political observer noted:
"14. Feminists are desperately anxious to prove that women are as strong and as capable as men. Clearly they are nagged by a fear that women may NOT be as strong and as capable as men." Previous Message
I don't see how the trans athletes can win this case. Idaho's law is likely to stand, IMO, unless there is some ruling that it's too broad.
The Court would have to refine a recent decision about discrimination against trans people, carving out a distinction for sports. The result can be narrow decision that has little to do with trans people in society as a whole.
