So, I’ve had moments in the past where I might have spent 30 seconds thinking about this subject but ultimately I don’t give a fuck about competitive sports so my analysis usually ends up being, all competitive sports should be banned because competitive sports are dumb. Which is admittedly a neanderthal take.
But yeah, now the global athletic showdown is going down and seemingly everyone in my immediate vicinity keeps clutching their pearls and I guess I’m sick of not being able to advocate for trans comrades appropriately and articulate a proper response.
So what’s a better response besides, “who cares?” Am I missing something? Like, if all things were equitable, what would or should competitions look like?
Help me out. I honestly have no idea.
I think this is super helpful especially when responding to the dipshits. Definitely keeping these talking points in the chamber.
it’s usually effective with these people because there’s no argument for banning trans women from women’s sports that’s based in reality, its genuinely a make-believe issue.
estrogen also really weakens you! it’s totally a thing. pre-transition, i was in the gym pretty frequently so i built up quite a lot of muscle mass. now i can’t lift something more than like 10 pounds. even had to get a polymer stock for my rifle because it was too heavy.
