The second one. It is always the second one.

Everyone has and is that client.

Sure. We don’t necessarily have concrete evidence one way or the other on advantages due to numbers, but of the trans athletes that currently exist, the dis/advantage is unlikely to matter beyond a couple percentage points. With more trans athletes, we can get more determination into what effects transitioning has on athletic ability, but for the most part, it’s not a real issue.

The issue is that the average person thinks there are cismasc athletes registering as transfem, which isn’t a thing.

I agree with him that physical men must not be allowed to compete in women sports against other physical womans. Its completely unfair to woman who have no chance to reach the physical level a man can reach in strength-based sports. And it kills all motivation for a woman to be an athlete when they cant reach that level.

That doesn’t happen. Men play in men’s sports and women play in women’s sports. If you mean trans people, trans athletes follow some pretty strict guidelines to play in most leagues that don’t give them an unfair advantage (though, to be fair, there may be some physical differences between trans and cis athletes that might affect performance, but studies have shown that these differences do not make for more than a very slight advantage at best (and potentially a large disadvantage at worst!), and I’d argue that most cis athletes would be way better off just doing steroids than spending literal years transitioning to get this fabled advantage that doesn’t exist.)

But trans women do play in women’s sports and trans men do play in men’s sports. Your argument is that trans women should play in men’s sports, yes? Should trans men play in women’s sports? If you don’t believe they should, then you don’t believe they are women (which is valid, because they are, you know, men). But what is different about trans women? It is entirely feelings based, because the evidence doesn’t show that trans athletes crush their competition. It doesn’t even show that they win more often. Because they don’t! They win just as often as you would expect a cis athlete does.

By your logic, when they freed the slaves, they really should’ve done it slowly instead of all at once, because look how many racists it made!

Or was civil rights too fast as well?

Same argument that was made for gay people sharing locker rooms, bigots never get new material. If you’re not comfortable sharing a bathroom with someone, then, ya know, you don’t have to use it.

Why is it queer people have to suffer for bigotry? Why not just be less of a bigot?

Not sure what you’re arguing about, but you do you, man.

Okay, buddy

I rather think that would answer the question for most people. Were you confused on how he doesn’t want to look like a weirdo so that his fascist beliefs are normalized?

He doesn’t want to look weird. That’s all. He wants people to think he’s normal, and by proxy, that all of his insane fascist beliefs are normal.

Because the only things that actual bother him are being called a fucking loser and weirdo. The actually shitty things he does, he would do a million times and feel nothing.

And what you say can’t be true, or the millions of lies he told would matter more.

There isn’t one, the poster made it up.

AI can’t even tell how many Rs are in strawberry. I have seen the code AI makes, and it is not almost there. It is quite far away. Give AI 10 years, and it will be “almost there”, and even then it will still be incredibly shit code.

Imagine saying “They basically want me dead.” and then wearing your child as a human shield. Father of the year.

I disagree. One, because it isn’t forced down anyone’s throats as long as you don’t live in a fucking Fox News bubble. Two, because Democrats did extremely little to actually protect trans children during the election. And three, Republicans didn’t gain votes; Democrats just lost them.

It’s a lot easier to argue that people thought that the Democrats weren’t doing enough to address problems that existed now or that they didn’t push issues that mattered to people, like abortion. Because they took very few real stances except the ones that seemed popular to everyone, but they also failed to get that message out a lot of the time because of very dumb actions on their part.

The children yearn for the mines.

LGBTQ is surprisingly unaccepting towards bigots. And I find that pretty accepting because I am not a bigot.

Russia started the war in Ukraine, so it seems like it is entirely Russia’s fault and Russia should end it, no?
