Yes but Lester's just self-aware enough to know the real version is incapable of generating sympathy for his argument. The strawman version at least plays to his base.

You're assigned (or should be) based on hormonal profile. Lester is being an ignorant poo poo (ikr, I couldn't believe it either) - because the actual recent case is a trans boy who was forced to wrestle with the girls because he was assigned female at birth.

Of course, a couple of years of testosterone therapy means that you have a huge advantage over girls of a similar weight.
Similarly it goes the other way - a couple of years of androgen blockers absolutely decimates your muscle and overall strength.

So this is totally an AGC - a trans boy was forced to wrestle with the girls and shouldn't have been because it's unfair to the other competitors.

I think we talked about this before. They forced the trans boy to play with the girls. He wanted to play with the boys, but they forced him.

And NOW they have the courage to get angry about the outcome of their own myopic worldviews.

Plus, anyone dumb enough to agree with Lester is now going to "absolutely remember" hearing about/reading about the news article where Lester's version actually did happen.
They obviously won't be able to find it, but they'll know they saw it somewhere.

I'm glad Mike Lester, noted wife beater, is able to tell us how girls feel about these issues.

Let's cut to the chase here: in Lester's view, if there's any doubt then the kid just shouldn't be allowed to compete at all.

"Americans pay more in taxes than for housing, food, clothes combined"

Tinsley literally quoted the title of the article.

Keep reading, man. Get in those 80 hours of research:

"While that number may seem staggeringly high, Americans still spend a lower portion of their income on taxes than residents of other countries, according to an analysis of 39 countries released this week by the Pew Research Center."

That's the thought I immediately jumped to, but he's not saying that Americans pay more taxes than Europeans, he's saying Americans are Taxed Enough Already.

I mean, what could federal funding possibly provide that's more important than our basic needs for survival anyway?? *dies of pertussis and illiteracy while being robbed of barter goods on the dirt road between hamlets*

God damn this shit is
fuckin' re-dic-a-liss

🍖🍖😛🍖🍖
This is the worst comic the thread's seen in a long time.

Literally the opposite of reality, outright hatefulness, focusing on sensationalized (and fictional) reactions to the idea of transgendered people in order to stir up outcry, ignoring FtM, all the things people have already pointed out. Oh, and of course, calling the girl a boy because that's obviously what she "REALLY" is. "A boy who identifies as a girl", not "a girl". Lester saw through your scheme! You transitioned just so you could win elementary school wrestling competitions! Sad!

On top of that, though:
*Lester thinks the person who lost should have won, despite losing to agreed-upon rules beforehand, because they "deserved it" more. This of course flies in the face of all previously-expressed views on things like "too many trophies for kids these days" and "the electoral college".
*Lester thinks the ambitions of this girl [and every girl] are specifically "to wrestle with girls". Not "to wrestle", because it's something she loves and is passionate about. The act isn't what's important, what's really important is how she's placed, and who she competes with. Just like it's every girl's dream to be a lawyer in girl's court, or go to girl-NASA, or join the girl Army. Girls know their limits!
*Despite allegedly only being here because she wants to wrestle (and therefore presumably enjoys it) she throws it all away because of one loss (her first, apparently -- what a quitter). She still won second place, but she throws the trophy away in disgust. Her dreams have died instantly. What good is doing something you love if you can't always win first place?
*The girl who won first place obviously didn't work hard, nor did they have a passion for wrestling. Only our protagonist did. She won all the lead-up rounds (as the other contestants clearly did, that's how they qualified), but losing this round PROVES foul play. The girl who got first place didn't care or strive or even perform well -- or if they did, it doesn't matter to the story. A story completely made up to scare suburban parents who only want first place trophies, anyway, and whose children probably wouldn't give a gently caress about the politics involved.

Lester is such a hateful little poo poo.

Yeah, that's what I was making fun of in my other post about it. Tinsley's apparently incapable of understanding the argument except as the most basic stance on the concept of taxation ("taxes are good and i love to give all my $$$ to government and i would kiss the government" "no, taxes are bad, you clod, you dummy idiot, etc"), because the thing he cites doesn't even follow logically as a rebuttal unless you also interpret it that way.
