JFairfax posted:what sport is it? No clue, no one asked. Earlier in this thread someone posted about people from /childfree getting caught in a cycle of self-ownage because they're immature and like kids' things, thus increasing their suffering. Here's a great example! Ppl upset because I'm going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter for my birthday and I told them NOT TO BRING THEIR KIDS. quote:I AM THE loving KID HERE. I've been waiting all year for my birthday so I can geek out with fellow Potterheads without any loving kids. When my cousin and another friend (both moms) found out that absolutely NO KIDS were allowed on the trip, they went ballistic saying "but it's a place for kids!!", "you won't even be watching them!", and "we don't have to be together all the time", Ugh, bitches, is not about that! I DON'T WANT TO CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY AT MY FAIRY TALE PLACE WITH BLOODY CHILDREN!! don't you get it?

So, this guy wants these people to come to a place designed specifically to delight children/young teens and not bring their children. That means he's expecting each and every parent to either arrange care for their children, or leave one half of a couple behind to go to a place that they likely have little interest in going to other than taking their children there in the first place. I hope nobody shows up, even his childless guests.

Is it the sort of venue you book for an event? If so I get it, I've booked some childish venues or for events and had open bars and adult entertainment set up. Licensing alone wouldn't allow anyone under 18 to attend legally. Yes it's at a library, no you can't bring a child.

The only true way to atone is to socially firebomb everyone in that peer group and make sure he burns himself just as badly doing it

He also threw his hands up in the air and squealed when he got Griffindor. He also has a huge preoccupation with Disney, a severe mom complex, and a coke problem. I'm guessing it's all tied together.

So they're probably just really weird and the minority status is just coincidental. What's happening is that, usually, people are aware than discrimination is bad and keep their transphobia and homophobia to themselves and their circle. In this case, the trans kid is directly affecting someone else (due to no fault of her own) so people feel the right to be lovely, and the discrimination bubbles up to the surface. Sadly that kid is going to have to deal with it. I hope she wins every contest too!

subhuman filth posted:Because it didn't happen. No school is going to let an 18 year old newly minted ftm who is physically and hormonally male play girls' sports This is the part that sticks out to me. They're upset at this transgender student because "she" is still biologically and hormonally male. Yes, I'm using quotations around the pronoun because: A) I don't believe this is a real story, and B) even if this was real, that transgender student should not be allowed to participate in female sports without undergoing hormone replacement therapy for at least a year. It's just an unfair advantage, plain and simple. There's no argument against it. Sure, it's probably an exaggeration to say the student dropped from the team was scholarship material, but you know 100% that the transgender student isn't getting a scholarship. "She" needs to be on the male sports team because "she" is actually still male. Maybe that makes me narrow minded but I really don't care. I guarantee she wouldn't be ostracized and bullied if she wasn't unfairly stealing another student's opportunity. e: Honestly, if this story is true, it is pretty blatantly sexist. Giving a person a spot on the team based solely on their gender? Especially when it is at the cost of someone else who deserved to be there? That's not cool. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Height is an unfair advantage too, but they don't keep unusually tall people from playing high school ball. Quite the opposite, it's usually encouraged.
