Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn’t going to result in any action, so I’m wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?
(if someone needs an image description, please ask)
Gendered sports is cringe, just sort into different “Leagues” based on different strength. Some cis boys can be born with a disadvantage, some cis girls can be born with a natural advantage, I don’t see them complaining about the cis girls who have a natural advantage.
Also:
Gendered bathrooms are also dumb. What are people even doing in the bathroom lol, just use and gtfo.
I do agree with you in theory, but the problem with this is that there are enough tiers of male athletes to fill multiple leagues before any significant number of women would be included, and people tend to only be interested in the top level of competition. The effective result of eliminating gender segregation would be the total absence of women in competitive sports.
Your misogyny isn’t some enlightened understanding.
Pointing out the obvious fact that men have a huge natural advantage when it comes to certain things isn’t misogyny.
Alas, cis-women with natural advantages are the biggest losers. (Edit… Trans people are hurt the most and lose the most from transphobia. What I should have said was “cis-women with natural advantages are also victims.”)
They tend to get caught up in the anti-trans nets and checks due to their natural biology being different from “platonic ideal of feminine woman” and being excluded (or even called men, cheaters, and rapists, and attacked and threatened). Which really shows that the people pushing this care more about excluding trans-women than giving cis-women a space to flourish.
Cis women are not the biggest fucking victims of transphobia, jfc…
You’re right, I could’ve worded that in a much better way. I was too blinkered by rhetorical flourish.
Trans people of all stripes lose harder from transphobia.
Legit, even into adulthood. I’m the one smashing up concrete and paving while hubs hides under trees weeding
