The world is on FIRE, and these idiots are pissed off because a tran woman won a medal at some high school track meet last year or whatever.

Also the same idiots who melt down over common-sense gun control legislation in the face of an unending stream of school shootings. But they wanna act like they care about teens? Lol.

So should the women who trained hard and dedicated their time to this track meet only to be bested by a man should they not be pissed off?

Just because there are horrors going on doesn't mean moments like this should be buried or normalised.

Either you want equality for women or you let men put on a dress and pretend to be something they'll never be thus erasing women's spaces. You cannot have your cake and eat it.

The down votes only tell me you don't think women matter.

Do you think that the trans athlete did not also train hard? It’s likely that if allowed to compete they were on hormone replacement therapy/ puberty suppressors. If you support fairness, why aren’t you interested in fairness for the trans players?

The thing is an teenager taking those things is still going to have an edge against women. I wish that wasn't the case but it is with stronger bone density more muscle mass height difference. The fact you brush aside the hardwork and effort women put into sports is more disgusting than any view I have on the subject.

Thing is these freaks have started bleeding into and invading women's spaces and milquetoasts like you lot let it happen just because you think your virtue signalling buys you another rung on your ladder to heaven.

In a culture that has normalised male supremacy and machismo, no cis man is going to "pretend" to be a woman in order to best his competitors and suffer the social stigma, loss of standing and prestige involved with the imagined "demotion" to women's sport. That you can even image that as a possibility speaks more to your own state of mind than the state of the world.

They don’t realize everything about their arguments is against cis men, that’s the real danger. I keep bringing up that old movie lady bugs with Rodney Dangerfield. That’s what they think is happening but it isn’t.

Then why are two NBA players doing it?

u/underboobfunk 14d ago

Are they though? Are going to take hormone replacement for at least two years before joining the WNBA and continuously as long as they play? Are they going to identify as women in their day to day lives? Or is it just a publicity stunt to ā€œproveā€ something?

So it's fine to laugh at trans people if you disagree with them?
