Democrats are not dying on this hill in the first place, as overall they are doing very little to protect the ability of trans people to compete in sports (the Biden administration’s latest effort on this would make it harder, not easier, for trans athletes). Beyond that, probably safe to assume most Americans’ votes…

What is the conversation we think we need to have about this issue? Trans people have been allowed to compete in the Olympics since 2004, yet no openly trans athlete has ever won a single medal. Trans people have been allowed to compete in the NCAAs since 2010, and no openly trans athlete won an NCAA title until 2022.…

I 100% get it and agree. It’s an embarassing day for CIS people on the internet bending over backwards trying to say “no I just really like Harry Potter, I’m a good person and will donate to the Trevor Project!”

Just go play your game and stop talking about it.  You don’t need to post anything.

This.

This is why I’m grumpy.

I honestly do not care if people buy the game.

I just want them to stop rubbing it in my damned face constantly while I’m facing the threat of death.

I don’t have a clue what you’re dribbling about in this comment.

Right.  The rallying cry for trans women is, well, “trans women are women.”  Kinda hard to see how that is seeking to erase women, unless you think including trans women in the club of women somehow devalues womanhood.

Oh, I guess that’s why JK Rowling was tweeting about Macy Gray.

White lady feminists coming out of the woodwork to carry water for a boomer with predictable boomer opinions, people who haven’t been paying attention to this boomer being...lets say “a little old fashioned and predictable” for a while now.

But cis women who are infertile are the first to point out that not ALL women can give birth, so I don't think you can really lay this on trans people.

Of all the things that happened to women in the past few weeks, trans folks rank pretty much at the bottom of the list. Bette Midler and Macy Gray suck.

I love you for you comments! I do not have the patience for these people. 

Actually you didn’t. As you always do, you just type a bunch of words, with no evidence, no logic, no understanding of anything.

The problem still doesn’t exist. Laurel Hubbard finished DFL in Tokyo. Lia Thomas won the national championship in the 500, true - but she finished 5th and 8th in her other two events. Her best times this year were far slower than her pre-transition times. The narrative that it is unfair to let her compete doesn’t…

The reality of the situation is that there is clear scientific evidence that trans women have a competitive advantage far beyond the normal distribution of the advantages some biological women have.

Yes, you said that. You directed everyone to a study which made an inaccurate comparison based on testing they did not do, and insisted that that study was the only possible reason the person you’re responding to could be calling the author in question a TERF even though in the comment you are responding to the…

It’s standard operating procedure for cis-supremacists -- grab a study which, if you spin it hard enough, could be said to make some kind of point, then pass it around insisting it “proves” every fact that would be convenient for transphobes if it were true. Then let the centrist media go on at length about how the…

I am beyond horribly disgusted by how many stars these transphobic comments have. This is not a safe place for anyone who isn’t cis.

Just wanted to say that one of the authors of this “study” is a TERF, just check out their Twitter.

It’s not up to me to make your point for you.

They posted a citation, which is just as good so long as you’re capable of using google.
