The article says mother of two, I’m not sure why you’re confused. Are you trying to start a culture war debate?
> Paris, who juggles being an elite runner with being a mother of two and an animal veterinarian,
If you actually cared in this particular scenario and aren’t just trying to cause a shitstorm, you could’ve found the article below in less than a minute.
Here is a blog post with pictures of her pregnant, talking about being pregnant: http://jasminfellrunner.blogspot.com/2017/11/?m=1 http://jasminfellrunner.blogspot.com/2017/11/?m=1

- quickthrowman 3y ago> thanks for being more familiar with it and letting me know, like I asked I’m not familiar with this person in the slightest, I googled “Jasmin Paris pregnant” and found the proof you were looking for. Have you ever read an article about a transgender athlete that didn’t mention the fact that they were transgender? If you can find an article published by a news organization about a transgender athlete that neglects to mention that, I would be incredibly surprised. That’s why I’m not giving you the benefit of the doubt in this line of discussion, you’re complaining about an imagined problem that doesn’t exist. > replying to your inline edit Do you not consider the incentives when examining the actions of people and organizations? I suggest you start if you aren’t doing that. News organizations sell controversy, transgender athletes are controversial. No competent news organization is going to miss out on clicks by neglecting to create controversy by mentioning the fact that a transgender person is transgender. Not because the news organization necessarily supports transgender individuals, but because they want to make as much money as possible. Companies care more about money than supporting minority group ideology in virtually every case. That’s why I think you’re incorrect about your complaint that the media doesn’t properly identify transgender people. If you really think a news org will let ideology trump revenue, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

- quickthrowman 3y ago> Both kneejerk perspectives being wrong for ironically opposite reasons, in a question asking to clarify the novelty of achievement “Just asking questions” is a well known trolling tactic. We fundamentally disagree, and that’s ok.
- yieldcrv 3y agoI wasnt familiar with this event or this athlete, and this was a discussion channel present that matched my level of interest in finding out more What word would you use if you had a question, if all the intuitive phrases are false positives for trolls? I understand that you fundamentally disagree, but in which way was the accurate way to disagree: what your reaction was to, or what the other person’s was to? If you cant tell then maybe you’re both incorrectly applying your disdain? the unresolved point that the community flagging every response doesn’t reveal
- quickthrowman 3y ago> I understand that you fundamentally disagree, but in which way was the accurate way to disagree: what your reaction was to, or what the other person’s was to? If you cant tell then maybe you’re both incorrectly applying your disdain? I think both myself and the person who claimed your question might be to devalue the achievements of women both had equally valid points we made. Perhaps we were both wrong about your true intent, but people “just asking questions” about hot button items that are only tangentially related to the article under discussion are usually trying to stir shit. You’ve convinced me that may not be the case here as you’ve being civil during this discussion. FWIW I did not flag any of your comments.
