Things that confuse you...

[Lord Tyrion]

I cannot ever get my head round the scenario we have at our club. Two transgender women who are together in a relationship - is that a lesbian relationship or something else??

I'm a bit intrigued by this one. Were they women or men originally? Have they fully transformed or still have their original biology but dressing and identifying as the other gender?

I have tried to work it out but can't. Both were men and both fully transformed.

If they've both fully become women then I suppose that makes them lesbians - or they may identify as pansexual. But really, it's just a relationship of two people, and I don't see anything confusing about that.

Why is abbreviation such a long word?

How do you feel with them in your changing rooms?
Wouldn’t bother me to much the other way around but some folk are stuck in the dark ages.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest but I think some find it difficult.

I think that that might be an LGBTQ++ relationship

Cheers for that,as if I wasn’t confused enough 🤯.

I agree.

Why would there be any need to provide any label to them.

Surely their orientation and relationship is irrelevant.

I think the more important question is.. do they play the men’s section or the woman’s? Everything else is irrelevant

If they are not men and not women what locker room do they use?
This is a big problem in schools in the USA and they want their own toilets etc.

What’s a “D” I can’t find one in my fridge? Lol.

Ladies. I'm ok with that. Perhaps in time hormone testing will have to be at grass roots level of sport. On the basis that they have to take oestrogen, I imagine their testosterone levels are lower but one does hit it a mile (in all directions).

How you actually pronounce Chorizo, there seems to be about thirty different ways of saying it.

On a similar theme...silent letters...why?

So much confuses - me but for starters. Bike gears. So the left shifter moves the chain on the front chain ring and the right one the rear. So how come the front one has to be in the big ring to go up a gear and the rear one the opposite? How come the bigger chain ring on the front adds tension and the opposite on the back? Is it termed "up" or "down" a gear when you change to add resistance??

On my hybrid there is a middle front chain ring to contend with and, whilst the numbers tell me which gear I'm in, I have to take a moment everytime to think "am I moving the chain up or down on the front and/or up or down on the rear to figure which shifter to use". So I know if it's using gravity it's the easy flick changer and if it's moving up the rings it's the other one but why are they opposite??

It is to do with gear ratios, and which gear is the driver and which is the driven. In simplistic terms, imagine the big gear has 100 teeth and the smaller gear has 25 teeth.
1) If the big gear is driving the smaller gear, then for every full revolution of the big gear the small gear will have for revolutions. A ratio of 4:1. On a bike you go faster but it is harder to pedal.
2) If the small gear was driving the big gear, it would take 4 revolutions of the small gear to make the big gear rotate once. A ratio of 1:4. On a bike you you go slow for what seems like a lot of effort.
Also, the derailers are spring loaded in one direction, from the large gears to the smaller gears. Ie "downhill" . You require force when you change "up" the rings as you are going against the spring tension.
