how about we shore up our own manufacturing and logistics and cut the US off entirely while we reach out to our friends in the global community?

Thats great insight, you're right I was exclusively thinking about my own experience as a cis male swimmer growing up. I hope things become more inclusive and more research is done on the topic.

Thats fair, doesn't make it any less bonkers.

When does it end?! These reference values are super important especially in medicine! This stuff is just unhinged, dangerous and stupid

This is a pretty sad grey area. Trans athletes definitely need to be included in sports/competition but in sports like swimming, running and power lifting the men's qualifications are just in another league of their own, hormones and muscle mass really do make a massive difference and I have no idea what the solution is (its not DNA testing). I'd even go as far as saying that genetics on their own give some athletes a massive advantage over others in their sports (Eg XX females with naturally high testosterone, muscle mass ect...)

I can't remember the last time a movie came out that made me want to go see in theatres. Tickets are so expensive that I only want to go to one or two movies a year. Then with TV I find every show these days has "netflix syndrome" with lazy writing, exposition dumps, dummed down dialogue, I'm just not interested in what they have to offer most of the time.

You don't need to know french at all outside Quebec, that province is kind of like its own country (IMO). Source: live in Ontario with family in la belle provence, I've spent a fair bit of time up there. That said I still love Quebec its beautiful. My spanish is better than my french haha!
