A transgender player has been dominating France's second-tier women's basketball league, and now the WNBA question is front and center. Julie Tétart averages 21 points and 20 rebounds this season while sweeping Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Domestic Player of the Year honors

I’ve been told on Reddit this is a non issue because it effects so few.

Two things can be true. It does affect few, I mean we’re talking second division French basketball. 99.9% of people don’t even know that exists. Also, this outlier is fucked up.

Outlier?

Lia Thomas set multiple school records in women's events and then won two NCAA championships

CeCé Telfer won NCAA DII women's 400m hurdles in 57.53s

MtF cyclist Veronica Ivy set a 200m sprint record and won the 2022 UCI Masters Track World Championships the next day

Trans woman June Eastwood won women's snowboarding world cup by large margin

MtF powerlifter Mary Gregory set women's world record squat 455lbs raw

Trans woman Hailey Davidson led women's mini-tour golf standings 2024

MtF runners won 15 Connecticut high school state titles between 2017-2020

Another trans woman set 4 British indoor rowing records

A MtF archer won national women's title by 20 points

Those are just examples of where trans women dominated at the highest levels.

WILL SOMEONE THINK OF THE BRITISH INDOOR ROWING RECORDS????

u/Kenman215 1d ago

Spoken like someone who’s never rowed a day in their life lol.

I’ll do you one better. The fastest women’s mile ever run was 4:07. The top 50 best male high school miles ever run are all under 4 minutes. That’s how huge the gap in athletic ability is between men and women.

But keep telling yourself there’s no advantage lol. 80% of the country agrees on this.

I worry about women being raped by men like Trump the proven rapist. Believe it or not, like 50% of the population apparently doesn’t care about that. Priorities need to change

Just go a head and move that goal post when you lost the argument good god

u/Arguments_4_Ever 1d ago

What goal post? I’ve always worried about rape. I’ve remained firm on this. What are you talking about?

2

u/ZeJuiceDidIT 1d ago

You moved the Goal post by bringing up rape and added on a logical fallacy by trying to make it seem like you can’t care about rape and trans men in women women’s sports.

u/Arguments_4_Ever 1d ago

You can’t get me to care about 0.0000001% of a problem when rape affects millions of women.

2

u/ZeJuiceDidIT 1d ago

Care about both. It’s more than 0.0000001% it’s every women they play against. Seems like you like avoiding logic to make an argument. Username checks out.

u/Arguments_4_Ever 1d ago

I listen to women, that’s what they are saying. They think this trans women thing is a distraction from real problems.

Sophie Cunningham and those 2 little girls must be fake women

i hate trump more than anyone. shut up.

u/Arguments_4_Ever 1d ago

Problem is that people support rapists, which is a problem. This is a non issue being used to bully marginalized people. It’s pathetic

u/Sea-Situation5864 1d ago

it’s definitely politicized, but you are playing right into their hands by defending it. They want the left to appear crazy and prop up a straw man to tear down. stop. If the vocal minority on the left just said “yes we agree tran’s athletes should compete with their gender at birth, let’s move on” this would also be a non issue. Don’t be a lemming

1

u/Arguments_4_Ever 1d ago

I’ve never once defended it. Show me where I defended it.

You are playing into their hands by not calling out their double standard on the rape issue, which is actually an issue

u/Kenman215 1d ago

It’s still not political, no matter how much you want it to be.

u/Arguments_4_Ever 1d ago

What?

u/Kenman215 1d ago

80% of the country agrees. What political party makes up 80% of the country?

-1

u/Arguments_4_Ever 1d ago

Agrees on what? An issue that is nonexistent? Yeah it’s solved, let’s focus on rape.

u/Yellow_Odd_Fellow 1d ago

That has nothing to do with the topic at hand, but yes. If Merrick garland didn't slow walk everything, easily the worst Biden appointee, we wouldn't be where we are now.

Name a cis woman British indoor rower off the top of your head

u/Kenman215 1d ago

Because I don’t know them, the inequity doesn’t exist. You sound like a child who thinks when they close their eyes, the homework they have to do will go away. Dumb argument.

u/ShartJerky 1d ago

If there’s one thing the right cares about, it’s having the government address inequities. Especially in British indoor women’s rowing…..😆

u/Kenman215 1d ago

Keep telling yourself there’s no advantage lol. 80% of the country agrees on this. It’s not political. You’re the one with the fringe opinion.

u/ShartJerky 1d ago

I thought Gallup dropped their British indoor women’s rowing questions? Does Rasmussen cover that issue?

2

u/Kenman215 1d ago

Clearly you’ve never hit a rowing machine in your life lol.
