4.50 star(s) Keeley is awesome Very balanced and fun course with a wide variety of shots. A great mix of woods and open play. Great permanent T pads with plenty of room for those conrad run-ups. Nice fairways that are fair and clean of undergrowth. The course flow is excellent and easy to follow. Hole one is...

Speaking of Night clubs not trans "lifestyle" clubs. :doh: Anywho good discussion going on I like it. Havn't had the energy to participate as much as i'd like though.

I don't think "lifestyle" in and of itself is a derogatory term it just comes with how it's applied. To me personally lifestyle is the things you choose to do. Life is just who you are. I am trans and a lesbian but those are things I didn't choose. Things I did choose disc golf, fishing, camping...

These occurrences are fairly rare and overlap that with the already minuscule percentage of trans people playing disc golf and it's near nil chances of that happening, but I would assume that they would keep any titles and ratings but once they reach the current maximum of 10nmol/l they would...

*A would only be allowed to play in mixed *B would be allowed in gender protected provided they meet the current standard.

Short answer is yes, but I'm not sure any standards exist when it comes to the ioc/pdga.

I should also add as Nova stated it's courteous to refer to both as a woman she/her unless asked for other pro nouns.

Testosterone is commonly tested for by your doctor if you've ever had blood work done at your doctor. Also commonly tested if a patient has thyroid issues.

If a trans man is above the 10nmol set by the ioc/pdga they would no longer be eligible for gender protected divisions and be required to participate in mixed division.

Some people use the term pre/post op transgender i.e someone who hasnt had surgery would be a pre-op trans woman someone who has would be a post-op trans woman.

Also a great source of information. There's definitely more research to do on physical effects but most trans people can testify first hand what effects it has had on their body in particular. https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/category/research/transgender-issues/

I was also slightly confused by this. Possibly human error?

That's fine skepticism is healthy as long as you educate yourself on the issue, speak to people effected, and base your opinion on facts and accounts instead of assumptions and biases. Also be sure to have independent and unbiased information and not politically biased sources.

The topic is most certainly different than slavery. I'm simply pointing out that it was a contentious time in history where not everyone believed slaves even counted as people or where clean enough to use the same facilities as the white man and those perceptions changed over time through lots...
