this is not transphobia, its clearly common sense, to protect naturally born females in a physical contact sport. Is it fair? No, but life isn’t fair. It is what it is. I can’t be the president of the USA - wasn’t born there, I can’t be a racehorse jockey - too big and heavy. I can’t be an opera tenor: too bassy, trans women can’t play rugby with woman. The list of can’ts, - goes on and on. We get it, we support your desire to transition, but just because you transition doesn’t mean you get 100% of what you want from being a woman.

Well thank you. My wife will be without a full month salary... since she's an english teacher.

unfortunate.

If she is a grade school teacher, perhaps she should investigate a direct hire gig. Even part time teachers get a set salary for 12 months and a small bonus.

**Note that no single kid has died of Covid-19-led illness in Japan**; their mortal rate is near to zero % even in epicentre China. Most victims are very elderly or those having other chronic disease.**

This is true. However, there is an important distinction to be made. While kids may not be getting ill from the virus, the still do get infected by the virus. In turn, they can infect their parents, grandparents I.e. those at greater risk from illness. Given how easily viruses tend to spread among kids, this move is more about protecting the adult population than the kids.

Yes! Fuzzy, thank you! At least someone here gets it!

We found him, and the critics are even unhappier now. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Why not close colleges, universities

They are already on spring break, not such a big issue telling them to close. Most students (undergrads at least) are already absent.

Poor battery life - ever had a smartphone before?

what apps are you running in the background that could be closed? what power saving settings have you employed?. You can easily double battery life on most android devices with a few smart moves.

No iphone though, Apple decreed this technology unnecessary for it's loyal fanbase.

A decade ago Nikon P&S digital cameras were the cream of the crop

???eh? they were rubbish!, their SLR were and still are great. Their P&S cameras were always breaking - the lens mechanisms.

Saori Yoshida the wrestler is hotter, if physicality is what is sexy to you.

It wouldnt surprise me if it becomes more successful than the full size ipad

Avoid any woman with this line of thinking like the plague! immature, superficial, vapid.

Nice,shame about docomo's ridiculously priced plans.

America - you can have highly regulated alcohol, nicotine and caffiene and that's it - anything elso is pure satan spawn evil! nasty nasty performance enhancing drugs! .......sigh. There are far bigger issues in the world. why this is even became news in the first place is just nuts. The US should sort out it priorities.
