Coe said the decision was made to ensure “the integrity of women’s sport” with World Athletics asserting:
The SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex.
I argue the science does not support this overly simplistic assertion.
What percentage of male humans are SRY+ve and SRY-ve? What percentage of female humans are SRY+ve or SRY-ve?
In simplest terms, the testes then produce hormones including testosterone, leading to male development.
Are zygotes sexed?
We know making testes or ovaries requires a complex network of many interacting genes and proteins.
Some genes promote testis development while others promote ovary development.
Other genes either suppress ovary formation or antagonise testis formation.
Even once ovaries or testes are fully formed, we require other genes to maintain them. These genes don’t always function as expected, affecting the development of these organs.
Yes, all these claims are obviously true.
If there is a change in the SRY gene so it does not function as usual, then a person can fail to develop testes and be biologically female. Yet they carry XY chromosomes and under the World Athletics tests they would be excluded from competition.
Correct. What percentage of humans have these SRY variants and develop female phenotypes? What percentage of those are high level athletes?
Other XY individuals may have a functioning SRY gene but are female – with breasts and female genitalia, for example – but have internal testes.
Wait. What? You said 'female' and 'testes'.
At the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, eight of 3,387 women athletes had positive test results for a Y chromosome. Of these, seven were resistant to testosterone.
The author knows this isn't the same population with SRY variants he just mentioned.
He means males with androgen insensitivity, some of whom were deceived by doctors and parents.
World Athletics asserts the SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex. But biological sex is much more complex, with chromosomal, gonadal (testis/ovary), hormonal and secondary sex characteristics all playing a role.
It's almost like you want to say "sex associated characteristics" but then the jig would be up, wouldn't it?
This may be easy enough in wealthy countries, but what is going to happen in poorer nations without these facilities?
You can send samples to rich countries where the testing can be done quite cheaply.
It is worth noting these tests are sensitive. If a male lab technician conducts the test he can inadvertently contaminate it with a single skin cell and produce a false positive SRY result.
What clinical test doesn't have to be performed carefully?
Nor does World Athletics recognise the impacts a positive test result would have on a person, which can be more profound than exclusion from sport alone.
Clinical tests have outcomes? You don't say. What percentage of high level male athletes do you suspect are unaware that they are actually male?
Given all the problems outlined above, the SRY gene should not be used to exclude women athletes from competition.
Is self identification more reliable? What test should be used?
Defence Politics Asia predicts the Ukrainian front lines will collapse in about a month. According to Cyberspec, the Russian General Staff predicts the Ukrainian front lines will collapse in 2-3 months. It will be interesting to see if either prediction turns out to be true.
(In any event, nobody can plausibly argue Ukr is not suffering from a shortage of troops, with such porous front lines and constantly encirclement by Russia over this summer).

Here are my recommendations for Large Astronomy Binoculars. I dont really recommend the Nikons because they are too expensive.
Nikon Astroluxe 18x70 IF WP = $1700 new $900-1000 used Fujinon 16x70 = $1200 new $500-600 used Oberwerk 15x70 Deluxe = $330 new $230 used Celestron Skymaster Pro ED = $275-350 new Orion Mini Giant 15x70 = $125 used
You can find some older Fujinon 14x70 used as well. The previous iteration.
Dont bother with the 10x70 or 10x80 or the 80mm or 100mm binoculars. It's better to go with 10x50 for lighter weight. And the larger objectives dont gain much relative light to the 70mm, they weigh more and they also have more color fringing as they have to bend the light more in a similar sized frame.
There are some larger 80mm and 100mm binoculars with interchangable eyepieces and longer barrels that arent hand holdable that are good, but expensive and a much later purchase on your astronomy journey (if you even make it that far).
You really dont need big objectives like that to look at the moon. The moon is so bright that collecting that much light into your night time dialated pupils is painful and not recommended.
8x40s or 10x40s are much better for moon observation. Even 7x35s.

if all women you "interact" with are terminally online egirls. 99.9% of women are normal. the women in my neighborhood are sane. the women working in the bakery are sane. this RW meme of all women are to be subdued is in diametral opposition to the goals - men and women have different traits complementary to each other. in classic societies women often held the key to the house and managed the household finances.
what really is a problem is that the (likely naturally stronger) impulse for empathy and the wish to be in-group in women is hijacked by media and politics for sinister purposes. THAT is what should be fought against.

My concerns about Gary Stevenson’s economics of wealth taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/0… Gary Stevenson has emerged as a major exponent of wealth taxes, but his latest video has made it clear that his economics is neoliberal in its framing, embracing ideas such as the household analogy, claims that the government can run out of money and that it is funded by taxes, none of which are true. And the fact is that you cannot build social justice on the basis of inappropriate economic framing, so this matters.
In a recent video, Gary Stevenson said:
“Governments are running out of money, just like a person running down their savings.”
Gary Stevenson has become a significant critic of inequality in the UK today. His video this week is no exception.

The 60 degree or greater Apparent FOV really increases the enjoyment of binocular viewing IMO. Whether nature viewing, birds, wildlife, astronomy. As long as the eye relief is decent enough.
50 degree Apparent FOVs (which are quite common)are serviceable but more utilitarian. It's easier to make these 50 degree AFOV eyepieces sharp with flatter fields. This smaller Apparent FOV can be advantageous when scanning for movement on a battlefield situation, keeping the entirety of the view in your primary cone of focus allows you to detect movement and outlines over a greater span of the field.
These Nikon 18x70 Astroluxe binocluars and the Fujinon 16x70 are the cream of the large binocular crop. Not counting the astronomically priced Zeiss, Swarovski and Leica produced stuff.
There are some good lower cost options like the Oberwerk 15x70 Deluxe. (There is a pair of these on eBay for a cool $230 right now.) I own a pair of these and they are fantastic large objective lens binoculars. @Elliptica may be interested in these eBay specials.
You really need a solid tripod and mount to get the most out of these though. They come with a nice protective carrying case. #Binoculars

I have a question. If I'm doing windows linux dual boot, is there any possibiliy that windows can spy my data on linux? Or: if i got ransomwared on windows, is my linux part of my pc safe or not?
I don't think Windows will spy on Linux, but you never know, as we don't have the source code of Windows to look it up. If you get ransomed, they can lock the whole ssd, even if your Linux partition might be encrypted already. And even if you have Linux on a separate ssd.
To prevent all that, practice good use of Windows without going to questionable websites or downloading apps from random places. But the best would be to either have a different PC for Linux. You can buy a small factor PC for $99 these days, brand new. Or, each time before you boot into windows, you disable on the BIOS the SSD with Linux in it. This way, no Windows malware can "see" that there's another SSD there, so they won't be able to lock it. Unless of course they lock your BIOS too...
Other systems should not be able to see your data on a Linux install as long as the disk is encrypted, which is proposed during the install of many distros.
AFAIU, ransomware will try to lock all devices, USB drives, etc, so no, your Linux install is not safe from that if it is on the same machine. Even machine on the same network might be at risk.
How to prevent ? Backup! Loosing your entire machine data should not be an issue but just a matter of re-installing the OS and recovering your data from a backup. Have at least two backup, including one outside of your house.
About dualbooting though... Putting Windows + anything else on a single drive is a really bad idea and Windows WILL try and take over it, at least breaking the boot partition. More concerning, and it actually happened to me recently: when putting a Linux on one disk and Windows on an other in the same machine, the Windows somehow still managed to break the Linux boot partition...
So if you can afford it and really want to have both OS, you should try and have two machines or at least install Linux on a drive that you can easily unplug.
I had a dualboot on my last laptop for a long time and seems they've toned the overwriting of the bootloader way down since the invention of EFI. For the last 8 years or so it occasionally changes the boot order to default to Windows, every time these larger updates come in. But it doesn't seem to overwrite anything any more.
Other than that, I'd also recommend Backups. Windows doesn't come with drivers for these filesystems, so it can't read Linux files. But theoretically things could happen to the data on a harddisk nonetheless.
I cannot answer definitively, but it's highly unlikely that windows could access any data from your Linux partition. That said, if you're that concerned about the potential for this to happen, perhaps your shouldn't use windows at all. This is coming from a PC gamer who uses Linux exclusively.
Thank you a lot for bringing very constructive contribution here. I feel well helped. I hope your attitude can bring a lot of people using linux and feel happy about it. Linux community is sure glad to have someone like you.
If you want to make absolutely sure that Windows can't spy on anything, you'll need to physically remove the storage device containing Linux when booting.
A more practical but slightly less secure approach is to enable full disk encryption on Linux. Then, if Windows does decide to get sneaky it'll only see random data.
This doesn't prevent hostile code such as ransomware from destroying the data though. For that, you need to have good backup hygene.
A good backup system is to have automatic daily backups to some online cloud storage provider, and weekly or monthly backups to a physical device you keep disconnected and safe.

Another $30 BILLION in Trump tariff revenue just came rolling in!!! The stated goal of the Trump administration is to eliminate the income tax, and that possibility looks more and more realistic with each passing day.
well, if that's true, Amazon is either cutting it's profit margin to compensate, which means they pay even less taxes, reducing the US tax revenues or they simply work around the tariffs by some shady means. There simply isn't another explanation.
A tax is just an expense. Domestic taxes increase the prices of all goods. Tariffs only increase the prices of imported goods. I buy very little imported goods, so I will pay far less taxes than I do under the current model.
@wy7usa I'm not so sure. After all, if you just gobble everything Trump says and he keeps saying "THEY are paying US" nonsense over and over again.... Ya know. In any case, the US government spends what it spends and the cuts Trump can make are a drop in an ocean, so either way average American won't be paying less anytime soon.
