You know this isn't about male or female, it's about promoting hate.
It's weird, because having spent a lot of time with them, it always seemed to me, that a lot of "right-wingers" are misanthropes who just need a group to hate and a reason to hate said group. Then they acquire a right-wing (preferably radical) ideology and retroactively rationalize their hate with that. And I do know even self-defined far-right people (if not that many) who don't just blindly hate any group (I know, weird) but most of them in my opinion just hate everyone and everything but only letting you know about the minorities don't like.
Every cuntservative talking point is a lie wrapped around a kernel of truth that they don't even care if it makes sense as long as they feel it gives them permission to hate.
I'm slow and missed this week's news cycle. What the hell is going on?
Does this have to do with the Olympic Boxing thing?
Can a non tankie provide/copy paste an answer to this? I cant see the following response chain because it's filled with people I blocked
A large woman beat small woman in boxing. Larger woman isn’t conventionally attractive and the small one claimed she’s trans, but she’s not.
Something something she might have XY chromosomes, but who knows and who cares? 🤷♂️
Now right wingers are trying to say people born with vaginas can be men which is hypocritical.
Also the crybaby loser that’s upset she got hit in a boxing match is/was a cop, so fuck her who gives a shit?
Oh and Jake Paul was saying some shit. Holy fuck I’m so tired of all this.
Here i thought i couldn't hate Olympics more and 2024 again proves to me that there's no floor for depravity in discourse or a limit to my hate-reservoir.
Even Holland who is usually level headed comes into the Olympics like "here's a child rapist to represent us, we gotta find him special accommodations since there are kids in the village and like we said, our guy raped a child" but don't you dare criticize us!
The Netherlands* but otherwise yes, absolutely. His inclusion is pretty ridiculous. I understand and agree with not outright banning people who have been convicted of crimes, but surely the line should come before child rape. It's easily one of the most heinous and unforgivable things a human can do.
This can and should be the undoing of the mainstream MAGA/Tories fascist and transphobic BS we have been spoon-fed for the last 7 or so years.
wait, when?
There is a boxer in the Olympics, who was assigned female at birth, has always female sex organs, was raised as female, and identifies as a woman. Some people are arguing that she shouldn't be considered a woman because she may or may not have XY chromosomes.
They keep moving the goalpost what it means to be a man or a woman - complaining about genitals. Stupid shit.
Soon, they'll be arguing about how women have more theta waves and a man's chakra needs to be above 80 Megatron's.
But they so earnestly care about fairness in women’s sports! \s
You know, we should do a follow up with their logic and dare them to propose a ban to black athletes for having unfair advantages too.
Which, um, used to be true?
Hypocrisy doesn't hurt people for whom the double standard is the objective. They won't get embarrassed because they lack integrity, because they are desperate to show that they don't have an ounce of it.
Well I agree, we should continue with this logic. Unironically get rid of gender discriminatory leagues. My gender has nothing to do with whether someone 2ft taller than me will destroy me at basketball. Or genetic reflexes differences, etc. The only way to separate people based on genetic ability would be to separate based on performance(and this of course disadvantages people of average performance because of genetics, but above average technique/training/etc.)
First, that's already how many sports are, there's an "open" league and a women's league that exists because sexual dimorphism is a hell of a drug.
Second, skill-based classes present a different perverse incentive to intentionally under-perform in order to dominate a lower bracket rather than ascend to the bottom of a higher tier.
There's not really a perfect solution as long as there are stakes beyond pride and good sportsmanship.
Too many billionaires own basketball teams for this to fly.
Not a ban, but I'd like to hear the arguments against a black only swimming category.
I'll start:-
- Difficulty defining "black"
I just watched the 100m sprints and it looks like the black athletes have a natural advantage based on the fact that 90% of the competitors were black.
Hardly unfair though. Unfair advantage is men competing in women's boxing or men competing in women's weight lifting
We are losing the class war...
"In a stunning twist..."
I think they're finally using kettle logic.
There's no inconsistency here. People with XY chromosomes (i.e. Imane Khelif) should not be competing in women's sports. Imane probably has ambiguous genitalia that was identified as a vagina at birth (i.e. a legitimate usage of the term AFAB), but should not be competing in women's sports. Intersex people often have undescended/underdeveloped testicles that give them an unfair advantage vs women.
