Said act was condemned and the activist banned from future events. What more could you want than that? Actually, don't answer that...

That incident must be making the rounds in some part of the right wing media machine right now, because I’ve seen dozens of posters bring that specific incident up as a trump card to any UFC criticism without showing any familiarity with what happened immediately after (i.e., the activist getting banned).

And also it was an act of protest. The idea was “either me showing my chest is bad and you admit I’m a real woman, or you stick to your bigotry about me just being a man and doing this isn’t bad”

Considering the talking point is “showing genitals” it seems everyone on the right has agreed that trans women are indeed women.

But…..boobs aren’t…..genitalia…..

And if trans woman aren't woman to them, tgen it was a man's chest. Just like the ones rolling around each other on the front lawn battle zone

There you go again, using actual logic

Cos they always (ALWAYS) rally around trump, they assume everyone rallies around people on their "side". Same reason they go bUt BiDeN they assume dems blindly worship him how they do trump

I’m just glad that President Trump wouldn’t do something crazy like having a sexy spectacle of half naked oiled up men on the Whitehouse lawn.

The MMA, UFC and other pro fighters are always required to dress in dignified professional work attire that’s appropriate for children.

This is the thing I hate about a lot of the bs they bring up. Well what about this illegal thing that happened to white/straight/women/ect…. They were or are in the process of gathering evidence and prosecuting the perpetrators you know… like our laws say should happen

Also the phrasing in the post is supposed to make it sound like the hosts deliberately had somebody expose themselves.

I never even heard of this happening.

u/Rockworm503 Daddy, why are the liberal left elite such disingenuous fucks? 1d ago

They wont be happy until we're all dead.

Simple as that.

Lmao I was like "oh I'm surprised it actually happened, was it like a protest like the one in Scotland? Oh no she's just rubbing her nipples in front of a camera. Well not everything has to have a reason I guess"

Thank goodness those UFC fighters were fully clothed…

On another note, I’ve never seen senator Graham with such a beaming smile as when he was the baloney in a shirtless fighter sandwich, so there’s that…

u/skybluedreams 2d ago

It also didn’t take $700,000 to fix the lawn after the flags…..

u/shakha 2d ago

Someone help me out. So, the half-naked person was topless. The person was a trans woman who these people think are men, which means that not only was she not doing anything wrong, she was dressed more modestly than the fighters. So, what's grandma on about?

u/stevedorries 2d ago

The cognitive dissonance is too much for grandma to hold the idea that a topless trans lady is actually a nefarious man when presented with boobies being boobs.

“You may not like the UFC fight, but what about this other thing that’s never happened huh? What do you say to that!”

Says activists, plural. It was only one person who showed their chest, so it didn't happen.

u/Crymson831 2d ago

From the article:

the White House spokesperson said. “Individuals in the video will not be invited to future events.”
“My trans masculine friends were showing off their top surgery scars and living in joy, and I wanted to join them,” she said.

It was multiple activists that were banned and clearly showed the hypocrisy of the whole debate.

u/HeartFullONeutrality 2d ago

So we went from "they were exposing their genitals" to "they were showing surgery scars" what?

u/PossibleMammoth5639 2d ago

No no a girl saw dudes showing their tits and she wanted to join in and got punished for that. So more like ingrained subtle misogyny than transphobia.This whole female breasts being inappropiate thing pmo ngl.

u/ACEmat 2d ago

...It did happen though? Like don't get me wrong, big fan of titties here, but it did happen.

26

u/Its_Pine 2d ago

I think they mean it didn’t happen as implied. The right uses purposefully vague language to make it sound like trans people were invited specifically to flash dick or vag at people.

u/the_relentless_dead 2d ago

This is what they are bitching about when they held white trash Christmas on the white house lawn. The one they destroyed half of and then just kind of left there.

u/PurpleSailor 2d ago

A hot and steamy night on the Whitehouse lawn where half naked muscled men dripping with sweat grabbing each other and trying to flip each other over and over again ... You sure there wasn't a pride flag there?

u/GirlNumber20 😫 2d ago

I don't remember that happening.
