Okay, okay...they can compete, they just don't get to win.

Eventually, Russia and China will figure out that they can just force a man to "transition" and get guaranteed golds. It wouldn't even be the most unethical thing they've done w.r.t. Olympics. The thing about rules is: if they can be abused, they will be abused. The idea that no one would abuse these rules to get Olympic gold is hopelessly naive.

That's quite a leap. For the record I am AGAINST forced transitions!!

6/24/2021 7:37:41 PM

Olympics banned 4 cis women this week. Fairness!

7/3/2021 12:03:22 AM

Are there any trans women competing? Seems like people are buying into the right wing grievance machine for no reason. Maybe handle these issues on a case by case basis, considering how rare they are, so dumb rules don’t end up getting implemented that causes outcomes like ^

Although I recommend you don't....

There aren’t any trans women competing and ppl mad about the idea are hurting non-trans women in their attempt to sate their irrational anger.

Hopefully the idea that the olympics are over rated and gay will come to prominence. Then no one will care when Russia has dudes to compete as women to win gold medals

So you seriously haven't heard about the NZ weight lifter? Come on man, that's lazy. If you want to take part in the debate, you have to at least be apprised of the facts.

"ppl mad about the idea are hurting non-trans women in their attempt to sate their irrational anger."

Seriously? Just more ad hominem? What you said is the opposite of reality:

BRUV, dozens upon dozens of female women have complained about the NZ weight lifter ever since she was announced as part of the team. The list of complainers includes former weightlifters on the NZ women's team, weightlifters from other countries' women's teams, and many other female athletes, coaches, and officials in the sporting industry.

YES, all those women must have an agenda to hurt... themselves!!!

You hyper-liberal, hyper-woke people just think that everybody complaining about this issue is a brain-dead, neoconservative, foaming-at-the-mouth MAGAt. Don't be Sarah Silverman.

SCIENCE does not care about your ad hominem, skirting the issue, and lack of knowledge.

Trans men and women need to have their own categories, period.

7/6/2021 10:22:57 AM

You're the worst man.


The Olympics "fairness" is a mirage, it couldn't be less fair. And rules that Hubbard passed just eliminated multiple cis women, so clearly testosterone isn't the only answer.

7/6/2021 10:57:33 AM

Well, one woman fell victim to weed. Not sure how THC gives you a competitive edge. Another fell victim to her own incompetence in not being able to keep people informed regarding her schedule. Who else am I missing? There was one woman who was banned for the next 4 ears for eating street food.

Does that cover everyone actual woman that has been banned?

7/6/2021 3:26:49 PM

Nope!

A hint is to Google testosterone Olympics.

I would have thought you and oep were fully up on all testosterone news

7/6/2021 7:16:36 PM

Hey I have no doubt that the Olympic committee is discriminatory against women. I've never argued otherwise here. My argument is that they probably should be discerning when it comes to men posing as women weightlifters.

7/7/2021 2:23:27 PM

^^^I haven't read your whole post history but you appeared to be framing this as "trans women have an unfair advantage because...." rather than "men cant compete in women's sports"

7/7/2021 2:29:23 PM

No, I have grown. A lot. Pretty sure when I started this account way back when, I was a pretty big homophobe, was 100% against abortion, and I'm sure there were plenty of other things going on.

If you want to continue to call me a bigot on the sole trans topic, fine. I know you guys only see black and white, and there's no gray/in between for you.

But I will never accept an idea that, at least for some, involves self-mutilation.

7/8/2021 10:50:38 AM

do you know any trans people personally?

7/8/2021 11:29:06 AM

lol, the guy whose argument is "trans people are just women posing as men" (and "self-mutilators") is accusing others of only seeing black/white.

I do actually.

I honestly can't believe I live in a society where people think it's ok to remove pieces of your body because they don't think it should be there.

7/8/2021 2:38:21 PM

did you have your kids circumcised?

7/8/2021 2:40:40 PM

Vasectomy
Tonsils

Do you mutilate your pets

Quote :

" Donald Trump, ever the idiot, goes on hate-filled rant about trans athletes and LeBron James Trump spoke in Phoenix, Arizona Saturday (24 July), flexing his grip of the Republican party amid ongoing speculation that he’ll run for president again in 2024. As well as repeating his baseless electoral fraud conspiracies, the former president took aim at Olympic weightlifter Laurel Hubbard and trans athletes more generally. During his speech, Trump repeatedly misgendered Hubbard while voicing his disapproval for trans inclusion in the Olympics, according to Reuters. He asked the crowd what they thought of “men” being “allowed to compete in women’s sports” before alluding to Hubbard. “Did you see the weightlifter?” Trump asked. “I hate to tell you this, women, but [she] shattered your long-standing record.” Trump then claimed it was “so unfair” that Hubbard is allowed to compete. He also claimed that, if he was the coach of a female sports team, he would only recruit transgender athletes. “If I were a coach, I’ll tell you, I wouldn’t be talking to too many women as we know women,” Trump said. He continued: “Somebody said that if LeBron James ever decided to get the operation, how would he be on the court?” This is not the first time that Trump has targeted Lebron James. The NBA superstar. James called Trump a “bum” in 2017 after the then-president made comments about fellow player Steph Curry. In 2020, Trump called Lebron “nasty” and a “hater” during an interview with conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh."

damn happy to be on the side opposite of his

I don't think this info should have any real impact on the right or wrong of this but Hubbard failed to complete a single lift

8/2/2021 1:48:42 PM

I feel like all his (and other conservatives') speeches are just really shitty attempts at comedy. For some reason people take this dry humor as gospel. We might as well have Dennis Miller in as president.

Between this and the new Texas abortion law that encourages private citizens to sue abortion providers or anyone that they suspect has helped a woman obtain abortion seems like a very slippery slope.

3/1/2022 2:01:21 PM

it’s past the point of being a slippery slope

3/1/2022 2:38:24 PM

Yeah, that really wasn't what I was trying to say.. it is beyond the slope and those laws are outright. blatantantly authoritarian (along with dozens of other laws being introduced by the GOP across the country).

"The Idaho House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill Tuesday that would make it a felony punishable up to life in prison to provide teens with healthcare to affirm their gender identity, and also make it a felony to help those kids seek care out of state. The Idaho House, where the GOP holds a supermajority, passed House Bill 675 in a 55-13 vote. The bill amends an existing statute on female genital mutilation—which has been inflicted upon more than 200 million living women and girls around the world, the World Health Organization said in January—to “include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex reassignment surgeries when administered to children struggling with gender dysphoria,” according to a statement of purpose accompanying the bill.
