Where do you find these nutcases?
Pretty much "life is fragile" with some added shock value.

Happy Friday, here is one for you - "Gifting thoughts":

Recently, someone treated me and my son to a sporting event. I know that these were his personal season tickets, and I was very appreciative. While at the game, I paid for "dinner" - i.e. some hotdogs and beer. While the dinner cost paled into comparison to the tickets, I felt it was an appropriate gesture.

I am also going to Israel in the near future and staying with relatives. As such, I stock up on some American things that I know they like - again, the cost is far less than I would have spent on any hotel, but still a way to show appreciation.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Is it the gesture to show appreciation, or should their be some monetary calculation going into the process?
Gesture.

Life is fragile I get but the shock value is the nutcase part.

Some people like a good steak. Some nutcases put ketchup on it.

Yup. Total waste, might as well just order an impossible burger bake it and put ketchup on it.

A friend of mine once asked a chef in a high end restaurant about the people who ask for ketchup and he answered "They all ordered their steaks well done anyhow!"

They could have put the ketchup on something much cheaper.

You don't need to tell that to me.

At one of my daughter's sheva brachos they made some game where everyone got a cheap item and was supposed to say something to the chosson kallah. My oldest son got a ketchup bottle and said "Never put ketchup on your steak-your shver will kill you" (of course I would never do such a thing)

So there is this case going on in Connecticut - https://nypost.com/2020/02/13/connecticut-girls-sue-to-ban-transgender-athletes-from-high-school-sports/

3 girls are suing the state school sports commission (CIAC) to prevent two Trans girls (i.e. people who identify as girls, but were born as males) from running in female sports competitions.

Here is a profile of one of the two trans girls - https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2810857-andraya-yearwood-knows-she-has-the-right-to-compete

I've read both sides, and I think I understand them, but at the end of the day, there needs to be an objective way to determine who gets to compete in the Girls division.

I've found this from Judo Canada which I think does a good job of addressing it - https://www.judocanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Policy_On_Transgender_Athletes_August_7_2017.pdf

and I'd imagine we'd see similar steps taken in Connecticut.

Personally, I think that the blood test is the ultimately objective test. If your levels of testosterone are above a certain number - whether naturally, or via supplementing, you shouldn't be able to compete in a female division. Regardless of the source and situation.

===============
Edit - two additional items:
- Both of the trans athletes in question, have not started hormone therapy, or are at the early stages of it
- Having met a few trans people, I can tell you anecdotally that no one is willing to go through the crap that they go through in order to notch a couple of High School trophies. So please spare me your theories about boys entering girls competitions as a joke
