All trans women/trans athletes should be banned from sports competition because 2 happened to out-perform their cis peers? What a pathetically reactionary argument. This comment right here perfectly exemplifies the transphobic mindset.
Here’s an idea: why don’t you post actual peer-reviewed studies and evidence of trans athletes outperforming their peers on average due to being trans? Oh wait, you can’t. Because there’s literally zero empirical evidence of that being the case.
And the fact that you pivoted so quickly away from Phelps for some reactionary anecdote says it all.
I’ve never seen people care this much about Micheal Phelps biological atheletic advantage. That alone tells me that this argument is disingenuous and a way to be transphobic in a public way.
There are actual verified cases of olympic tier athletes winning because of their biological make-up. And yet the only time biological advantage is brought up is to shill tranphobic talking points. You don’t even have to be trans to be accused of being trans. These same people claiming to be advocates of women’s sport are the same people who will falsely accuse biological women of being biological men
The thing is a very obvious death trap to anyone that knows simple physics. There are videos testing what happens when a Cybertruck hits a hard wall at certain speeds. That thing didn’t crumple at all until speeds greater than 35 mph. And even then it only barely crumples at all. The damage it could produce hitting another vehicle would be catastrophic and fatal.
Hard disagree. Those who didn’t vote said exactly what they stood for. Dems had the power, and completely ignored it and didn’t get voted in as a result.
If you’re blaming non-voters you’re just causing unnecessary division amongst the left. The US has been fascist for a long time. And everything happening has been a long time coming. Trump is a symptom, not the cause.
Oh, I see. It only matters now because something actually effects you. You can ignore genocide when it happens elsewhere easily enough, but it’s too close for your comfort now, huh?
Please keep going about how voting was going to save us from something the Republican party has been trying to do since Reagan. Gonna block you now since I have more important stuff to do and you’ve already taken up too much of my time. Have fun seething!
I love how you act like you know me. You don’t, but it’s cute.
I’m actively donating to causes and keeping updated/reporting ICE raids as they happen in the area. What about you?
I’m saying that not supporting genocide is a principled choice. You not agreeing with that is your problem.
Like you’ve been doing this entire thread? Lmao
I’ll actually be with my community and fighting along side them when it happens. Not putting some paper in a box and expecting a fascist to disappear forever like you.
Imagine thinking voting was an available avenue against fascism.
You believe voting works against fascism. Your opinion is irrelevant to me.
And you went out and achieved nothing at all. Because you were too bothered about how people voted over bringing your community together for when fascism finally came to your door.
Voting either way was supporting the eradication of Palestinians. That’s the point your thick skull can’t comprehend. Again, this was inevitable because of democrats and people like you that stoke leftists division.
Maybe you should focus on actually connecting with your community and organzing. Rather than trying to assign blame where there isn’t any.
This car has been heading towards that cliff for 8+ years now. Meanwhile I, and every other voter and non-voter are in the trunk. Unable to do anything outside of shout from the trunk what we want. Short of breaking free there’s nothing that can be done. Those that can actually stop the car won’t bother.
Biden was still sending those bombs during their administration. So no, the genocide is pretty much as supplied as it ever was.
You’re turning this whole conversation into this weird fucking purity test. Meanwhile you’re either too blind or stupid to see that fascism has been here in the US. I’ve done protests, I’ve done voting, I’ve donated to causes that are anti-thetical to Trump and his laws. And guess what? Fascism is still here. Want to know why? Because none of that fucking does anything under a fascist government.
Because guess what? Fascism isn’t something you can vote out. Anyone that knows about the history of fascism knows that.
But what advantage do women without a vagina have versus one that does? What if they didn’t go through cis puberty? How do we knows trans woman have an innate advantage instead of being effectively handicapped by their hormone treatment? This is my entire point. People want to ban Trans women specifically because of a reactionary feeling of “its not fair” while having zero evidence. There are like 2 cases where a trans athlete outperformed their cis peers. Yet the way some people (not you specifically) act you’d think trans women are sweeping every sports competition.
In my opinion, it comes down more to being exclusionary towards trans woman. More-so then it ever was about “protecting women’s sports”. I don’t think that everyone that wants to bar trans women thinks this way. But people like Charlie Kirk 100% do and will abuse that at every turn. This is the same man that calls June “Groomer month”.
