British Cycling Limits Transgender Women Competing in Female Categories
My sister (PsyD) asked me if trans women should compete with women in sports. I said that it should be left to the governing bodies of each sport. She said that it's unfair for women when trans women join because of the physical differences. I asked her if her if she would be ok if the women completed hormone therapy (and explained to her that I haven't fully understood this topic myself). What she said was something I think only women would understand, and that is their bodies go through changes that men's bodies don't, which puts them at a disadvantage. This is a complicated issue and there is no easy answer to make everyone happy.

but they're not "crafted with the mtb lifestyle in mind" and that's very important to my conscience

Opening Day Survey 2023: What People Are Riding at the Whistler Bike Park
Frames seem to be half DH and half Enduro for 2023. And almost half are older bikes if they're full 27.5 wheels. What a short life that wheelsize lived.

First Look: YT Jeffsy Primus Is For Riders From 135-165cm (4’5”–5’5”)
@JSTootell: I'm assuming you meant the bike. It says it's for 4'5" to 5'5" so that puts her right smack dab in the middle.
It's interesting though that the Jeffsy 29 geo chart says a small is for 5'1" to 5'5". And that's with 29" wheels.

Randoms Round 2 - Sea Otter 2023
For a second there I thought SRAM partnered with Van Halen. I know I'd be in financial trouble once bike companies start collaborating with music groups. Would love a paint scheme based on classic album covers (The Stone Roses' and Zeppelin's first, Rio, DSOTM...). I guess I can say my bike's color scheme is based on "The White Album."

Randoms Round 1 - Sea Otter 2023
I don't know about lifting an e-bike by the saddle. Could cause problems with the dropper post (unless it's mechanical, or it's fully up), and maybe even the saddle rails because of the upward force.

Broadcast Details & Commentators Revealed for the 2023 World Cups
@jwon1: Dude thanks for doing the math! I like some of the XC races (the ones on the rougher courses), but I'd probably watch the Enduro races now that they're available.

Broadcast Details & Commentators Revealed for the 2023 World Cups
@jwon1: $50 per year isn't bad, but if they provide replays of the MTB races then I can just sign up for select months and watch what's available. Does it say if they'll have the full races available as replays like Redbull did?
