Beyond My Opinion (Answering Questions)

Sing with me! 🎶Someone asked a question...🎶 Shoutout to the 90s gospel fans that know the tune. Today's question is not the reason why we sing but and answer none the less.

Q: Saw an article you retweeted about "Meatless Meats*. How do you feel about them?

A: This article HERE was shared to me of Facebook and yeah I retweeted on Twitter. It's an interesting on meatless meats possible impact on the health of humans & nature. Personally, I don't see Beyond Meats & Impossible Burgers any different than other processed foods. So, Moderation is probably best. The only veggie burgers I eat are personally made by me with such foods like carrots, zucchini, & walnuts.

I've never had Morning Star or Boca brand substitutes. And probably won't consume these newer meatless products, either. Professionally, I have clients who can't have meat and I have suggested these products and places that properly serve them. I mean everyone should have variety in their diet. And they say that the newer meat substitutes are ok in taste, but they also still do miss beef. And they only eat vegetable substitutes like cauliflower in place of chicken. Hey, sometimes there's nothing like the real thing.

Ok Nobody has asked, but I am telling you anyway. Why is the submission conversation somehow has to include "Single Women"? I don't know about others, but the "rule book" the folks like to refer to, The Bible (in Colossians 3:18) says "Wives submit to Your Husbands" and other things that describe true husbands". Dates, Girlfriends, & Fiancés are not Wives.

That's why there is a process called dating & courting. And they have "levels" that should make true submission to true marriage leadership easier. I bet if you talk to them, Many single women know that. How about angling that submission talk over to the wives dropping the ball. Why don't you aim over to the heads of the household who expect it but don't do the work to earn it? Yeah, my opinion is very "#notallsinglewomen". But do you expect it any other way when this "submission conversation" is so generalized & missing a lot of details?

Well, that's all I have. Send your questions to C.OUT.SPOKEN.DIVA@gmail.com. I promise to give you an answer.

The Witch Hunt for Caster Semenya

The Track and Field World Championships will be in Doha, Qatar later this month. It is time for me to talk about the one thing that makes frown about this meet.

Thanks to the IAAF ruling on hormone levels, as of this time, Caster Semenya will not be racing in the 800m.

Intersex people (formerly known as Hermaphrodites) are individuals born with any of several variations in sex characteristics including chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, or genitals. It is the "I" in the LGBTQIA+. And 800m Gold medal Olympian, Caster Semenya from South Africa is an Intersex person. She has higher levels of testosterone in her body than the average woman. But biologically, she is a female human, a woman. In my mind, she has been the homie since I saw her dust the competition at the World  Championships in 2009. Yes, before the IAAF had her go through a gender verification test & her intersex results were leaked, I have been a fan.

With Niyonsaba

I've also felt like American Olympian, Michael Johnson, Caster Semenya was tested because of her race. Have you ever looked at Women's 800m race Have you ever seen the competition who complains about Semenya winning? And well the 2018 IAAF rule, that states "that women who compete internationally in events from 400 meters to the mile(1609.344 meters) will have to maintain natural testosterone levels below a certain limit in order to be eligible to compete" (Female athletes can take hormone therapy to lower their testosterone. But is that natural) was made to get Caster Semenya off the track. Oh and I know other runners like Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi are being affected also. But whose name has always been attached to this case?

And I Stand with Caster Semenya every time she appeals this ruling.  She will be missed in Doha this year. I just read HERE, she has signed onto a South African female football(soccer) team and will still fight to run track. I Stand for that too. But I will not be in favor of hate and unfairness. And that is what all the testing, procedures, & ruling have been.
