    What am I making up? This woman almost certainly has athletic advantages far greater than the vast majority of the trans athletes people get so apoplectic about.

    Stop making shit up to fit your narrative. It detracta (sic) from the actual issue.

      Yes. Her being born that way is completely fair. As she was born that way. Same goes for Caster Semenya.

      Taking drugs to “alter” is against all sports.

      But hey, South Park said it best.

          I guarantee you that she didn’t take medicines to get that tall.

              They made the comment that she wasnt born tall, like an idiot. Implying that she wouldn’t have been tall naturally.

                Who’s “they”? You mean me? I didn’t imply anything, you inferred that. Also, I didn’t know idiots were born tall, that’s actually really helpful information, thanks!

                  Yes, you did. We were talking about drugging to improve at sports and the morality of it. Then you made a weird non-sequiter about her length, like it had any baring on the conversation.

                    The conversation was already pretty bare

                Joke Explainer: When Anna Smrek was born she was not 6’ 9’', she was likely closer to 20in.

        So were you just born stupid or did you take something to perform at this level?

            And we respect that transition by calling you stupid, I don’t see why you can’t do the same.
