    I don’t understand how we live in a society where so many people are concerned with what other people do. Most of the world will never knowingly deal with trans people and yet they’re obsessed. How about people stop focusing on how to differentiate each other and instead focus on ways to bring people together?

    Some of what Kaliya is saying sounds reasonable but it’s actually reprehensible. As far as sport goes, someone pointed out a while back that sport would be better off if division was done by skill and weight class and I wholeheartedly agree, let’s make sport better and more inclusive, foundationally.

    As for Johannes, unfortunately when you try and remain classy, people baying for heads will feel you’re not doing enough. I felt he did little wrong, but can totally see how a more fire and brimstone approach would’ve appeased some.

      No matter what you did in this situation, you are screwed. If you don’t respond harshly enough, you will be attacked for it. If you react too harshly, you will be accused of overreacting, even by people who agree with your reaction. It is impossible to please everyone in this situation.

      To be fair to Johannes, I think he ultimately made the right decision. The main problem lie in communication, and timeliness.
