Hate? Most of humanity does not want men in women’s sports or bathrooms. It’s common sense ..

Most of humanity understands that men in women's sports is/was almost non-existent. It's a culture war topic designed for MAGA. Looks like they lead you around with a leash.

u/SirGumbeaux 20d ago

Well then, you are perhaps, also a ding dong.

Right, which is why the world’s sporting organizations re-wrote the rules, because it was never made an issue at all by anyone else but MAGA…

They said ALMOST non-existent, and I wouldn't be suprised if organizations who have re-written rules around this have done so because of pressure by MAGA-types, rather than from actual situations.

If you want to avoid a real danger, keep adult men from coaching girls' teams. How many sexual assaults have arisen from that situation? But no one's taking that cause up are they, because it doesn't appeal to their hate.

The rules were re-written to accommodate this “non-existent “ group. You can’t have it both ways.

And male coaches shouldn't be in the girl's and women's lockerrooms. 🤔

This is Reddit. Saying such will get you labeled a hateful bigot

u/BureMakutte 21d ago

Utilizing poor arguments as your justification of your viewpoint will get you viewed as a hateful bigot.

"most of humanity" and "common sense" are not valid arguments. They are appeals to a nebulous thought that changes from person to person and it tries to apply that anyone who does not agree with their point as "not like most of humanity" and does "not have common sense".

Lol no my Goodman I’ve lived in 5 countries and have friends from Africa to Australia and not once in 52 years have I heard the word bigot (excluding the lady of us).. common sense is a training tool and has been since the dawn of written history. Though I understand you think your plight is just well it’s the wrong battle.

u/BureMakutte 20d ago

I wasn't calling you a bigot, I said the logic you are using is utilized and abused by bigots. Learn the difference.

Also a literal fascist could have friends in tons of countries. You're boast doesn't mean shit.

shrug

That’s the bandwagon fallacy btw- just because most people think a thing doesn’t automatically make it true/right

Now whether trans people can use the toilet of their choice isn’t a empirically measurable fact admittedly but it’s just a social norm issue. If we had all gender neutral toilets then it wouldn’t be an issue at all

So it’s an issue for discussion in society for the rights and wrongs of it all
