  1. I've watched highlights packages on YouTube like when your club's about to sign someone you've never heard of. None of them said "Giulia skills and quality moments - The new Alundra Blayze!" though.

    Yet it’s the anti-trans people who obsess over it - and we reached a point recently where JK Rowling inexplicably attempted to argue against the stance the Nazis took on trans people. If your argument or stance on an issue comes from a place of rationality, you should be capable of saying ‘that’s true, that’s awful - but it doesn’t invalidate what I say because…’

    Rowling has become a really important testing ground for people who claim they're trans allies. There's practically a generation of people out there who grew up on Harry Potter and it's always interesting to me how quiet or defensive many of them will get about Rowling while also tut-tutting about the latest cuts to NHS gender services. Or how many of them still follow her on Twitter even though she never posts about anything else. Priorities.

    You said you had a trans son? So I assumed he had talked to you about the difference between gender and biological sex(gender)

    No. He talks to me about The Traitors and if we've got any pizza left.

  4. From a neutral perspective, Liverpool winning the league would be the best solution all-round.

    It'll prolong Arsenal's hilariously long time without winning it and will make Arteta, who is a twat, sad.

    It means City won't win it, and nobody in their right mind should ever want them to win it.

    It also means United fans will probably stop singing the '20 times' song and will make their awful season worse.

    If your talking to me the question is am I understanding the interpretation of gender and biological sex right 

    I don't know why you're asking me? Especially as your question and original post have little to do with what I said.

    So this happened.

    Stuck it on after the Liverpool game (Alexis Mac Allister is a lovely player to watch). I've never seen a team with United's resources defend or play like they do. It's almost impossible to fathom how they can be this bad. The same goes for Chelsea as well, though - a team with a midfield allegedly worth around £300 million that provides no cover for its backline, which has at least three players in it that can't or won't defend.

    Oh, I'd disagree with that. I really doubt Punk went on Helwani's show without knowing exactly what he was going to be asked.

    Not really the point I was making with my post there, David, but you do you ;)

    I really like the sound of this, but I’m not familiar with ok.ru. A Google search turned up some dodgy looking Russian social media sites. 

    It's just a streaming site, I've been using it for a few years with no issues.

    How do you feel about the promo work, Dev? As someone who watches and judges a lot of movies, how do you feel when you watch "acting" in wrestling promos. It looks absolutely horrible to me even with the caveat that I don't expect much from modern wrestlers in the acting department anyway. 

    I think it's a problem across all of wrestling right now. Almost all the best promos are the older stars. It's why when someone like MJF comes along he stands out more because he's genuinely good.

    I just don't know if they're working enough on them across the business. Maybe they need to do more pre-recorded stuff rather than in-show interviews because you can paper over cracks more easily there. The standard is pretty bad in WWE and AEW, and NXT doesn't suggest the next generation are going to improve that.

    Is that like a trigger warning? Crap Warning perhaps? It's funny that "Lola Vice" is the name out of all three that sounds like she should be an OnlyFans.

    Petrovic carrying a sword to the ring... is that no longer a Xia Li thing? Like Xia needs to lose anything interesting, the apathy when she turns up at the Rumble year in and year out is a bit sad. There's a few in that boat though. Tegan Nox for instance, who'd be a big deal by now if her knees weren't made of shortbread.

    I hoped that Sol is decent purely because I happened upon a clip of her performing the Sol Snatcher and 2003 me woke up and went "Ooooh!"

    Sadly it's one of those moves that I think when nailed perfectly is an incredible spectacle but it the co-ordination is slightly off she'll be taking people down via the hair, or the opponent bumps for no contact. Plus, the opponent being conveniently in the right spot and apparently blind to her setting it up is probably going to feel convoluted after seeing it a few times.

    But at first sight, it was a definite "Holy fuck!"

    CW is content warning. I'm assuming she's with Petrovic (who looks *really* good) because they're both Canadian, otherwise what the fuck is the point.

    Ruca did another spot in the match, a handspring across the top rope into a DDT that's also excellent. She's a great athlete and hits the ropes and her moves well but I'd say she's a couple of years off being sharp enough for the main roster. Apparently she's only been wrestling 2 years and she missed almost half of that with an injury so she's doing alright, considering.
