Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard Set to Become First Transgender Olympian

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

How was that guy called that pranked others later in his own show? Like converting a guys room into a public toilet, complete with a fake bum and someone doing business on the pot when he came in?

You could sort of hire him for payback pranks. It's a sport too so we are somwhat on topic

No then you'd have women claiming they are men, basically roiding up, and winning. The best way is to say if there is no difference then all Trans compete against men.

a reply to: ThatDamnDuckAgain


I disagree. It's preh-tee special imo.


A lot of people might have the mindset but not the abilities.


I enjoyed that description for a moment I felt.. transported.

lol I know I shouldn't say this, but.... There is a Special Olympics, so why not a Transgender Olympics too?

Of course you should say it.
You have given in to them. Its a perfectly logical thing to say.
You are helping them win

Who exactly are you referring to as 'them'?




The reason I said, "I shouldn't say this.", is because it may seem like I was comparing transgender people to disabled people, but that's not what I was doing.

Men's sports and women's sports are separated, because they cannot compete equally against one another in all sports.

The Special Olympics is for disabled people who cannot equally compete against most other athletes.

Similarly, transgender people are not completely equal to either men or women, so they too should have a separate category.

Maybe they should just let anybody compete against anybody, or anything. Just an all out free-for-all! Men against women, women against men, transgenders against trans-species, cyborgs against aliens against men, women, transgenders, transspecies, etc.

Just one great big Cage Match to the death, no rules, no time limit...just GORE to the MAX! Cyborgs clubbing aliens to death with the severed limbs of trans-species monkey-fish people, robots with flame throwers, gunships with lasers, anything you can think of! We could call it the GONZO MAXIMUM CARNAGE GORE PORN OLYMPIC GAMES EXTRAORDINAIRE.

I mean, sometimes you have to go to extremes to prove a point, right?

If you liked my description you will find a treasure trove of badly written, full of typo real life stories in the short story forum.

I was lucky I had a sponsor inside my family that started it all, I couldn't have afforded it myself and am very grateful to be able to retell such events. Today I try to give some back by becoming a track instructor, to help others mastering the track and this way I can still be on the track but casually and there's no effort or pressure to beat anyone, what makes it safe enough for me to do it, because I am a single mother also.

But my daughter really likes it there and it's a bit like family, too. Some old faces, a lot of new faces. If or when my daughter want's to do this, I am a bit afraid but so was my own aunty.

OK OK, that should have been posed as a question rather than a statement....I will re-phrase.

DOES a Hans device help alleviate neck strain as well?

I know NASCAR seats are molded around the body to include the head area, but depending on the racing level those are not affordable or practical when swapping drivers. It's probably what allowed Danica Patrick to be fairly competitive in both Indy car and NASCAR as she is barely 5' tall.

I am building a car now to race the Nuhrenburgring(SP?)...its a bucket list. Its just a street car. And no, the only experience I have at actually race driving is drag racing and 4 hour team cart racing. And as you probably know, a cart can wear your neck and hands out!!!

That's what MMA started out as. lol

No, the problem is that peeps are afraid to stand up and call shenanigans for fear of being called transphobic ( a term I despise btw, they dont scare me, I actually followed a group of trans peeps that played bluegrass here in the UK).

This is no different than doping IMHO. I see whats happening though, small steps, until it becomes normal. The problem is.....women get the shaft.

As far as a womens sport...I would dare anyone to go up against a womens fast pitch softball team.

I must say, that is some very impressive stuff to watch for sure! I think I'd agree with you. I'm not sure I'd want to get in the batter's box against one of those gals! They can definitely put some mustard on that ball!

Yes it does to a certain degree but it's a side effect. You strap the back of the helmet to the HANS and the seat is also restricting the helmet.

You still have the weight on your head trying to go to the direction the g-forces send it. Since how you use your eyes "blickführung" "view guiding" to find your line on the track, you don't want to rely on the HANS to keep your head bobbing around.

That's why your comment I would have been fine with a HANS alone and no neck training is not accurate.

Take a cheap one if you never drove it, do you aim for Touristdays or Track Days? The first one is where you will have all kinds of vehicles on the road because it's a public toll road everyone can drive on these days. You have lot's of rookies with high potential to ruin your day the ugly way. Brakes and suspension is where I would throw the money at, you will have lot's of fun even with an underpowered car.

Start it slow, just cruise the first few hundred km until you get a feeling for the track. Knowing the track from video games will only help you memorize the curves. You can do a course with an instructor that will show the track to you, curve for curve and practice your line and that's where you will learn how to really drive the perfect line.

And get yourself a fly swatter so you can glue your licence/ticket to it and scan it at the track entry very easy. If you have questions about setup or how things works on the track, you can ask my anytime.


Have you driven electrical carts? I didn't start in cart racing, I drove a few times but after I had the licence. The torque is awesome and I don't know why but I had no muscle aches, it was just an hour though but I expected it.

Have you seen my threads? I'm all for it!

I just want to do the tourist day and do exactly what you said, build up to a fast lap. The car has a brand new suspension, front and rear, designed for road racing. It wont be til next year as I have to save up for the brakes! But the engine is finished.


The only electric cart I have driven is a golf cart. lol But the instant torque is fantastic...no turbo lag there!

I can't help picking up a lot of confidence because of the brand new suspension, is it measured in?

Don't plan to drive home with it then. I think you underestimate the tracks ability to destroy material. You won't hit any good lap times during a tourist day and when the marshals catch you trying to beat times, you're going to be pulled to the side the next time you want to scan your ticket, ruining your day.

Don't go for lap times on your first day driving there, don't drift. Make sure your car is insured for the Nürburgring. IDK how it's written in English, for me it's Nürburgring or just "Die grüne Hölle" (Green Hell), also "The Ring".

This is what you're going have to expect when you consider driving a Touristday. You're going to share with the track with others that think "well I have sport suspension" and watch what you're going to live through.



You can't even figure out the racing line on these days because others will be all over the place, just watch the video and you will see what I mean.





Add: At least watch the nightmare @2:20 the black VW Golf that took the corner too fast, then panic brakes on the curbs, watch closely as the right front wheel locks up for a split second (smoke), that tire grips and spins the whole cars right over the track again into the barriers. After that he crosses the track two more times complete out of control.

Shortly before the impact you can see another mistake as he slams the brakes on the green strip trying to give a steering command into the suspension but the suspension is like: "Wait what do you want, braking or turning? Okay I decide for you."

Just be careful!

The so called 'woke' crowd. Your sentence was perfectly normal yet you put an apology for it first. Thats what i meant by 'they win'.
Your explanation sorts it out perfectly and i understand why you put the apology in.
Im sure you can see my point though.

I would say yea but we need to tweak that name. yuk.... LOL
