Dude. I means that’s all very well. But you are missing the real victim here.
Did you not read about how mad Riverman would be in the hypothetical situation where his daughter would hypothetically lose to a “biological male” in a hypothetically unfair competition?
fwiw, I will exit this thread because I admit that I am super green on the topic and I have no want or desire to hurt anyone as this is a more important subject to others than me.
Last thing I am posting about this in here but “fairness” in sportsball being more important than human rights is a horrific take. Like if that is your take think about it and what is really important.
I really don’t think any of the (serious) posts in here have been dismissive of human rights.
Do you think you have appropriate terms of reference to make that call?
I’m okay with any “freak” competing in an open division.
Trouble is that when you create women’s sports, the ridiculous comes when you’re essentially allowing arguably non-women to compete. Your point is not the slam-dunk you think it is. The swimmer that warranted the bumping of this thread has already competed in men’s competition. To be competing in women’s only events is complete bullshit imo.
.
I wasn’t talking about the swimmer, go back and re-read my post.
Honestly the real take away here is that sports that have any connection to academic institutions are mostly bullshit
I was speaking about the swimmer. Sorry if I misunderstood the focus of your post.
So there are about as many trans athletes at the collegiate level or higher in the world as current players to win an NBA mvp?
If I said blind people shouldn’t be able to drive cars, it wouldn’t mean I was being “dismissive of human rights.”
Not sure why your so dismissive of the right of female athletes to compete in female-only events. I mean I guess we can just abandon women’s sports altogether, but seems silly.
Is this the analogy you want to make? Comparing trans people to those with a huge disability will not go over well.
If the point is that restricting female-only events to females is a this massive violation of human rights, I guess I’m just not seeing it when the athlete in question has already competed in men’s events. I guess the analogy isn’t great, but the characterization of my position was really stupid.
this one case might have been problematic until the ncaa examined the case and its rules and gave it a go ahead.
this one case is not a nationwide problem with all trans sports. thus the we are making the error by repeating a right wing exaggeration.
Ah. Sorry.
I should have been clearer. I was replying to your post as an counter example to those denying outright transphobia in the thread.
I’ve got zero fucking interest in engaging with you directly. Hope that clears things up
So I just saw my cousin post this on facebook in the last 24 hours
I say that to say he posted this 2 years ago
I am extremely disappointed with him. But this is definitely a thing, and it fucking sucks
Unequivocally, yes.
What science?
