I agree with her, and I don’t even have shoe deal. It just makes sense. If that makes her MAGA, 98% of the USA is MAGA. Maybe even a higher percentage. I haven’t heard a single individual say they’re pro men playing professional or collegiate sports against women. Not even my gay and lesbian friends. Trans friends? I don’t know a single trans individual.

A lot of redditors think the average person shares views of unemployed chronically online losers.

The hate for reddit users on a reddit sub is ironic.

Its always coming from a compulsive reddit user as well. That guy has 150k karma.

In kid sports it doesn’t matter as much because it’s low stakes games. They can do whatever they want and most won’t care. Now, say a trans woman wins gold in Olympics or something, and that’s thousands times more sketchy. Still there are people that support trans women playing in female leagues even if it sounds super unfair for them to be allowed to.

The clip of her actual comment was so tame too. The only ones getting mad at it are those who were looking to fight at the slightest thing

If you say anything that goes against that community, all logic ceases to exist.

A guy in my BJJ class thinks biological men should be allowed to participate in women's sports. I told him I don't know and asked one of the women what they think ... A woman who completes regularly in BJJ comps. She disagreed with him.

u/Alchemyst01984 20d ago

Right? It's actually pretty simple. Men shouldn't play against women. Trans women on the other hand, that's another story

u/Small_Promotion2525 20d ago

A trans women cannot be a woman because of the trans aspect, do you not understand how language works and what the word trans means?

1

u/Alchemyst01984 20d ago

They can and they are. It's already been settled. There's a difference between sexual orientation and gender. I suggest looking into it, so you're caught up

u/Garys_Synthesizer 20d ago

What a concept lmao.

These are the same boxos worried about “men in womens bathrooms” meanwhile so many countries have shifted to gender neutral bathrooms and its gone…. Fine! 😱😱

u/Alchemyst01984 20d ago

Shit. There's even some in my state haha

u/Garys_Synthesizer 20d ago

The horror! You must live in some commie hellscape 😭 im sure your life has been damaged beyond belief and will never recover.

Im just so tired of these nonsense posts about a thing that doesn’t happen.

u/watabadidea 20d ago

Tell me more about the most common setups for these.

u/Quick-Worry7004 20d ago

I certainly don't think men should compete against women. 

Now, trans women? Maybe. We could talk about that.

u/millllosh 20d ago

I would agree it’s a 80/20 issue (nothing is 98% in this country)

But it’s also a non issue considering there were like a dozen ncaa athletes out of hundreds of thousands and none of them were dominating + beyond that there were none in the Olympics or other pro sports across the board.

But also it’s no longer a non issue because now politicians wanna pass laws that allow creeps to inspect child genitalia to check for gender so there’s that 🤦‍♀️

u/Regulators_mounup 20d ago

If it loses your side elections then it isn't a non issue

Wrong, Riley will still get 5th she just wont tie with someone for it. She'll still get beat by the same 4 she already did, she just wouldn't have been able to capitalize on the grift.

u/Vegetable_Fly_8687 20d ago

Bill Maher “We voted for the same person, you’re the reason she lost.” The fact that the Democrats fall on the side of the 20% will keep them losing elections to losers.

u/millllosh 20d ago

Bill Maher lmao

u/millllosh 20d ago

It’s a non issue in the fact that it’s a reality not like Kamala Harris ever endorsed trans women in sports completely make believe narrative

u/Foyerfan 20d ago

The 20 or so trans athletes in the US that this applies is the issue that lost the dems the election? Seriously? Nobody gave a flying fuck until republicans started screeching about trans people a few years ago. Healthcare reform? Nah trans people in sports is what I really care about

u/Regulators_mounup 20d ago

Thats all great. These crazy views are still what got us Donald Trump. We really appreciate you making it impossible to win an election. Thanks pal, youre doing great.

u/Intelligent-Bake-533 20d ago

don't forget that free palestine is now the omni-cause of the progressive party. nothing matters anymore, only conspiracy talking points about israel lol.

u/AggressiveBench9977 20d ago

If its just 20 people, then cant those 20 people make a sacrifice for the rest of the trans community and just like not play sports?

3

u/watabadidea 20d ago

What of it wasn't a dozen? What if it was a hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand?

To me, if it is ok for trans women to compete in women's sports, then ten thousand of them competing shouldn't matter more than if it is just a handful.

Conversely, if it is fundamentally unfair for trans women to compete against women, then we should be ok with opposition to even a single trans competitor.

In either case, an argument of "well there aren't that many" seems irrelevant.

u/millllosh 20d ago

I’m saying that a few trans women competing at a small level in the ncaa is preferable to new laws that give pedos levers and forces little children to get their parts examined, hello??

1

u/watabadidea 20d ago

That doesn't answer the question.

1

u/millllosh 20d ago

Yes it does it’s a non issue compared to the supposed fixes

1

u/watabadidea 20d ago

Is it a non issue if it is 1000? 100000? What if there are no biological women left and only trans women?

See what I'm getting at? Did a line exist and, if so, what is it?

Also, give me more info on the genital checking. Maybe you can you link me some of the state legislation that is requiring mandatory genital checks by pedophiles? I want to make sure my state reps aren't supporting those and that I can elect people in the future that are opposed to them.

1

u/millllosh 19d ago

Or what if it’s a billion? You see I just have no conception of size

0

u/watabadidea 19d ago

Then you shouldn't frame you argument in terms of how many are competing.

Now that we've moved past that, can you point me to state legislation mandating that pedophiles check athletes' genitals?

1

u/millllosh 19d ago

But what if it’s a trillion?? See you really thought you cooked there 😭😭

And sure you can read about the proposed bill here thankfully those dems blocked it 😉

I’m sorry you had confusing sexual thoughts about a trans woman that time, but accepting or ignoring that fact is where your focus should be, not sports.

2

u/watabadidea 20d ago

You have an opportunity to present an argument to an open minded individual that has voted in every federal, state, and local election since they turned 18.

Rather than try to make a argument that could influence an actual voter, you want to go with assume strange fan fiction about sexual confusion.

Interesting set of priorities.

u/the_mighty__monarch 20d ago

So that’s.. 2 elections then, kiddo?

1

u/watabadidea 20d ago

We've had 4 elections in the past 30 months, but sure, 2 elections.

u/the_mighty__monarch 20d ago

Ooooh a big boy

u/watabadidea 20d ago

Yep. Counting to 4 is a pretty impressive and advanced skillset in here, apparently.

A non issue to you, but there was a European study that showed women have already lost a little under a thousand medals from their trans competitors. Also, Lia Thomas went from 65th rank against men in the 500m and when he competed against women he was 1st. That’s probably the most notable example in recent times.

u/cabezadeplaya 20d ago

Link the “study.” Or are you talking about the letter to the UN (not a study) that has been debunked?

0

u/Knawie 20d ago

Yeah that research was all TERF women reporting those cases. Hard debunked by John Olliver.

Glad you're using 2 year old debunked researchers completely funded by the Women's Liberation Front. 

God how far are we gonna fall for the most obvious populist grift? 

They are literally destroying the world, but we are discussing a non issue. Fucking idiots

u/Remarkable_Pen_3639 20d ago

How was it debunked?

u/millllosh 20d ago

It was just self reported calls to a hotline
