Riddle me this: if female athletes complain about "male" athletes competing with them, then why did they participate? :thinking:

Many had been participating for years. They did not know males would be able to compete against them or that they would be in a heat against males.

Did you know that in Ancient Greece, male athletes were required to compete in the buff? :whoa:

"How do you seperate the men from the boys in Greece? With a crowbar" is an ancient joke. Far older than "Priests and Altar Boys".

Meanwhile, I've been binge watching "Manhunt: Unabomber" on Netflix. After capture, Ted Kaczynski was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic with the disease manifesting itself during his early 20s. He was also a 53 year old virgin with gender identity issues. I do not believe those two issues to be causational either way. It does lend evidence to the theory that one mental issue could be accompanied by others.

A federal judge Friday unsealed a psychiatric profile of convicted Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski that contains details of a personal struggle with his gender identity.

The 47-page report, made public in spite of appeals by his defense lawyer, provides intimate revelations from Kaczynski about the family he says psychologically abused him. The report attempted to sketch the psychological history of the reclusive serial bomber who quit a budding career as a mathematics professor to live in Montana's Scapegoat Wilderness.......Kaczynski cited an example of his mother scolding him for not putting his dirty socks in the laundry hamper, an incident for which he railed against his mother in a letter 20 years later. The report concluded that hypersensitivity and irrational rage at his family are symptoms of Kaczynski's underlying mental illness.

Based on the interviews and test results, Johnson determined that Kaczynski, 56, has suffered from paranoid schizophrenia since his early 20s.

A significant mental shift took place in graduate school, Kaczynski reported, during a period when he considered having a sex-change operation.

He said he recalled setting up an appointment at the University of Michigan's health center after weeks of fantasizing about becoming a female. By the time of his consultation, however, he lost his nerve and lied to the psychiatrist. Leaving the building in shame, Kaczynski said, he developed a violent hatred for the psychiatrist.

Wow. That's truly a shame. I've learned something new. He is truly brilliant. Unmatched really.

"Good Will Hunting" mentioned him in passing.

Sometimes the line between genius and madness is fuzzy. It's rare that exists with a science or math oriented person. From what I've seen, it mostly exists among artists; be they actors, painters, sculptures or musicians.

Vincent van Gogh is thought to be a manic depressive. An illness that often plagues "creative people". Van Gogh shot himself at age 37 and died in poverty.

Plagued by psychiatric illness throughout his life, van Gogh committed suicide in 1890. Evidence suggests that he had manic depression, a chronic mental illness thought affects many creative people

Awesome.

https://illustrationchronicles.com/Cute-Cats-and-Psychedelia-The-Tragic-Life-of-Louis-Wain
Louis Wain was one of the most popular commercial illustrators in the history of England. Born in 1860, his anthropomorphic portrayals of cats captured the imagination of the Edwardian era and his work helped to elevate the profile and popularity of our feline friends to unprecedented heights. Before Wain, cats in England were often thought of with contempt but his work humanised them and helped to show them as something to be liked, admired and even loved.

His illustrations were so popular that throughout the beginning of the twentieth-century most homes had at least one of his famous cat annuals and many nurseries had Wain posters hanging on their walls. “He made the cat his own” H.G. Wells once remarked. “He invented a cat style, a cat society, a whole cat world.”

Today his work continues to attract interest but his legacy is based more on his struggles with mental health than the work that he created. While never officially diagnosed with schizophrenia, many people believe that he suffered from this condition and some have argued that his later drawings demonstrate his psychotic deterioration. While this is certainly a fascinating aspect of his work, it is only one part of a greater story and we should be careful to not allow it over-shadow the fascinating work he created during his lifetime.

Did you see his illustration of the owls staring at the cats in bed? I've experienced that a few times. Not the owls but the eyes looking at you. Not a funny experience.

You know those paintings at haunted house at Disney's World? Yeah those eyes follow you everywhere. :laugh:

But the actual experience is frightening.

No, if YOU are going to make the claim, YOU should be able to provide something other than because you said so as proof. The problem is you've decided yet after many times being asked to provide something objective, you're still confused.
