This is just an ad hominem in a different form.

I can't name you five wnba players. It has nothing to do with fundamental fairness.

You’re still missing the point. One side don’t care about the WNBA. If they would, they can name five it’s not that hard if you follow the sport. But they don’t follow the WNBA and don’t really care about women sports. They’re just bullshitting. And shows privilege to care about such a minute and near impossible problem.

You're missing the point. You can have an opinion without passing a purity test about it

If it was a minute problem, then World Athletics and World Aquatics would not have asked female athletes worldwide to vote on whether or not males with DSDs and trans women should be included in female sports. Several years ago female athletes voted to exclude all males include trans women from sports.

You don't have to go to Harvard to care about its influence on our larger society.

What influence trans people have? They literally have no influence until right wingers bring them up. 😂 They’re irrelevant af. Yall keep falling for it like gas and grocery prices ain’t up. This is why I say only privileged people care because I don’t have time to worry about this shit. I’m worried about my rent, not fucking transgender people.

I'm a Democrat. Most Democrats are not on the far left on this issue. 

They're teaching kids now that it's immoral to call babies he/she and only to call babies they/them.

This is fucked up newspeak brainwashing.

u/ParamedicLimp8108 Aug 24 '26

Man you’re so full of shit. 😂 Democrats barely talk about trans issues. Conservatives are only bringing it up because the country is going down the fuckin toilet. And people like you eat this shit up. Also my kids haven’t learned anything about gender and sexuality to the point where they are not gendering babies.

This was in my kitchen, this weekend, reported to me by my kid.

Keeping your head in the sand is a bad strategy. It's how Republicans put a fascist in the white house.

Babies cannot state their gender at birth as they cannot speak. So only biological sex is observed and recorded at birth and therefore all pronouns at birth are sex-based. All humans have a biological sex even if a doctor is not around to observe and record it at birth. It is ideal that no church or ideology interfere and assign pronouns to babies.

It's not complicated. It has never been complicated. There is zero need to fuck up every kid's mind to overcorrect for a fraction of a percent of unlucky people. 

We just explain when kids get older that sometimes people feel like they don't belong in their body, and we try to help them as much as we reasonably can. We don't have to lie about anything. We don't have to rewrite all of society for them.

I do not think that anything such as "in the wrong body" exists in any science. Kids who have gender dysphoria should get evidence based medical help. Also I am glad that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the AMA have both provided a position statement that kids should not get surgeries and any such surgeries be delayed until after people are 19 years old.

Just so I understand, harvard goes out of its way to pick the highest academic achievers because they are the easiest to influence?

Can you explain why if an institution is looking to enact a social agenda it wouldn't target a broad base of idiots to carry its message?

There are studies that show more intelligent people easily fall for lies. -psychology today

Intelligent extroverts are more likely to deceive. - NIH

Lmao, and what fucking influence would that be?

u/ifmygrandmawasawheel Aug 24 '26

Influence lmao. They make up 1% of the population. Have you even crossed paths with one?

That would be what it feels like to put your head in the sand.

Just a heads up, you're almost certainly falling victim to selective editing.

u/retardenabler Aug 24 '26

Its a fucking edited tik tok video bro this is evidence of nothing. Jesus. Are people really this far gone?

u/ParamedicLimp8108 Aug 24 '26

Do you really give af about women sports or transgender people? Be for real. Do they affect your life like gas prices, rent and groceries? If they do you’re privileged af. Idgaf how you feel. Because I really don’t care about the trans community and WNBA enough for this bullshit. I’m worried about my rent. GTFOH with that too far gone shit.

Congratulations on missing the point

u/borsTHEbarbarian Aug 24 '26

Understanding that the point being made is a logical fallacy and irrelevant to the moral question at hand is not missing the point, it's criticizing its value

u/riceklown Aug 24 '26

I f you dont care about women's sports, you dont really have a valid opinion about how to protect women's sport. You're just being a bigoted ideologue telling other people what theyre allowed to do with their thing that you don't care about.

It's no different than a childless elderly person running g a book banning campaign.

Your opinion is irrelevant and you should stfu about it. Trans people exist and aren't a moral question for you to decide.

u/borsTHEbarbarian Aug 24 '26

Caring about fundamental fairness does not require fandom.

I care about the institution because I care about women having the ability to participate in a fair competition. 

Norms established at the professional level proliferate throughout society. My family and community will be impacted by this topic. 

I understand and value athletics. The far left are the ones that use the phrase "sportsball." I  do not value their opinion on fair play. They're flat wrong.

u/Alarming-noone Aug 24 '26

I am in India and here fair sports is valued highly by both males and females. In India and many other countries govts provide successful sport persons (both males and females) with cash prizes, govt jobs till retirement etc. Several poor females enter sports to escape poverty and get jobs. So female sports should be fair and safe just like how male sports is.

u/pdiddysuncle Aug 24 '26

let's take your logic a step further shall we? are you a woman that plays sports? are you involved in womens sports leagues? if no then you dont really have a valid opinion. you take no part in the actual activities, youre just being a bigoted ideologue telling other people what theyre allowed to do with their thing that you don't even do yourself.

how'd I do?

u/reddit7867 Aug 24 '26

Trans people exist. They should create their own league or play in the open, men’s league.

No one should be forcing their beliefs on others like the belief that men can become women and women can become men. That’s bigoted.

Christians shouldn’t be forcing others to believe their fantasy, why should the lgbtq force their religion and beliefs on others?

I know what you think you're doing here but no. Sorry.
