They argue that the involvement of [trans women] in ladies’ competitions is deeply unfair because they have a clear physical edge over [cis women] competitors.
These advantages include possessing greater upper body strength enabling them to make a more powerful initial ‘break’ of the balls
I made the actual data-laughing face irl I’m so brainbroken
Real practical pickle jar advice that always works: take a decent sized knife and tap the corners of the lid with the blunt end enough to dent it just a bit, one on each side of the circle or maybe 2 more should do it. It’ll come right off after.
further additional advice: pretty sure 90% of opening a tough jar is persistence. if you’re really crankin on that thang as hard as you can, there’s a good chance you’re making progress, even if it’s not perceptible. at the very least you’re stressing the metal or plastic and making it more malleable. there’s a reason letting someone else have a go at it works so often and it’s not just cuz they’re stronger.
Also if the lid us metal and the container isn’t, contents permitting, pour hot to boiling water over the lib. The metal will expand and come off more easily.
So…they wouldn’t be able to go full falcon punch on a pool cue and knock a bunch of balls off the table, which I’m not that familiar with pool but I’m sure incures a penalty and would be super embarrassing at a professional level.

Someone tell that to my upper body strength, which has diminished to the point that I can barely pick up a 40-lb bucket of cat litter now.

Just do the knife thing and you don’t have to deal with any of this
Additional real advice: twist the jar, not the lid.
Additional joke advice: flip it upside down and use the can opener on the bottom.

Please don’t hurt the hexbears
Just do the knife thing, it works every time and you don’t have to pour water on a jar
famously the hardest part of pool, the break, in which you get more points the more balls you knock clean off the table.
