I’m gonna try to make a point, and excuse me if I stumble over any words or phrases, please do call me out if my language is wrong in some way, but:

It also seems lowkey sexist to assume that trans athletes are immediately going to be better than athletes whose gender was assigned at birth?
Like, I’m male assigned at birth. In some world where I decide to transition and decide to get into sports, I’d still loving suck because I have no coordination or athletic prowess. People who transition aren’t just doing it to win loving sports records. I know I know it’s all just ACTUAL virtue signaling from the right to scare soccer moms and dads to get them onboard with their oppressive ideas. It just doesn’t make sense if you actually think about it for two minutes.

There's definitely a thing in the UK (because the British Isles is a rainy transphobia archipelago) where you get "gender critical" people essentially making the crux of their argument that women are weak and small.

The worst kind of tornado.

it's insanely sexist, like ninety percent of conservative arguments against the existence of trans people is that they're all running some kind of Meatballs long con to sneak into a locker room to see some titty or watch a lady take a dump in a Target bathroom, so of course the rest would be gender essentialism at best

The trans agenda is to take over Big High School Girls' Sports. They want you to think they want things like being recognized as people and not being murdered for who they are, but really it is just to win a bunch of high school sports records.

It refocuses “trans” issues as one that straight, conservative people can understand: THEY’RE COMING FOR YOUR SPORTS RECORDS. It’s so loving stupid. Like that’s why people transition. To be good at sports. I mean, I know that’s why you forced your kid into football at six years old, Paul, but believe it or not, some of us don’t exist merely to play sports.

it annoys me deeply when people bring up ‘the trans woman who won all those UFC fights because genetics!’ because Fallon Fox only ever fought on the indies and the first time she fought a fighter who would go on to be UFC-caliber she got the crap beat out of her

it is, if anything, an argument about how eminently fair the whole thing is and how absolutely silly and bigoted the argument they’re making is so they all just conveniently leave that part out

Is that the one from Texas who was forced to compete in the girls' division and won the championship? And Texas still didn't learn their lesson, so he ran it back the next year?

the "unfair genetic advantage" angle is especially ridiculous because like, welcome to all sports. is it unfair for seven-foot tall dudes to play in the nba because it's easy for them to dunk on normal-sized dudes? is it unfair for adama traore to play soccer because he's faster than any mortal human? is it unfair for one sumo to be bigger than the other?

I'm pretty sure the actual data of trans athletes in women's sports has actually shown on the whole that the entire "they are better at it" myth is untrue because well... Name one trans athlete who is at the top of their sport in any fully integrated league.

Nyla doesn't count cause wrestling is art not sport.

Nyla actually spoke about how much muscle density she lost as a result of the hormones she took on Jericho's podcast. She made it pretty clear that transitioning was a struggle in that regard.

To muddy the racism waters here.

As a non-American child who knew nothing about the American Civil War etc. I always thought that the Confederate Flag was "The Dukes of Hazzard Car" flag. I also didn't know the connotations of naming said car the General Lee. So would have been baffled by anyone being offended by either.

As an adult, I now know the racist connotations of both. Therefore I am better than Val Venis.

Same. As a kid I watched Dukes of Hazzard with absolutely zero knowledge of American history and all I knew was that them Duke boys were cool as hell and their car was awesome, I even had a toy version of it which was the loving best. When I got older, I learned a little history and realized,"Wait a second it's not just the Confederate flag on it, they literally named the car the General Lee.... :stare:" it was a hell of a thing.
