I am interested in hearing the side of the pro Lia Thomas people. It looks like they have an other category which I do not think was something that was going on before.

The competitors who whine the loudest about this manage to lose just fine without getting trans people involved (and they're atavistic knuckle-dragging morons in the first place), so fuck 'em and let her swim.

I'm more curious about how many of the people bitching about transgender people in swimming actually watch swimming competitions.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

Y'know I feel like I don't use the term "atavistic" enough which is odd because it's quite characteristic these days.

As long as all the participants consent to competing against transgender athletes their shouldnt be a problem.

Thats easy to achieve in one on one sports like MMA, Boxing, Wrestling,Tennis, or even swimming. Not sure how one goes about that in team sports tho? Suggestions?

But yea, I honestly dont see a problem in transgender athletes competing in sports. The only people who have an opinion worth noting are the athletes themselves. Its up to them to campaign for or against. The rest of us should just be passive observers.

As an mma fighter Im perfectly okay with trans athletes competing. Its one on one. So if the other athletes consents to the competition then their shouldnt be an issue.

I never understood why non-athletes care so much about campaigning against it.

I've never played a CoD game, have no interest in the genre, and never seen more than 30 seconds of game footage. If I start bitching about the newest entry for whatever reason, does my opinion really hold any weight?

If you know all of the perimeters surrounding it then yes. Look how many people never played donkey kong, yet weigh in on the billy Mitchell issue.

It matters in terms of who participated in the discourse and why. The people most invested in this arent motivated by an interest in the integrity of the sport or an interest in the rules.

I will go slower so you can understand.

I have never played donkey kong just like I do not watch womens swimming

still following me?

Tons of people on here have not played DK nor do they compete in speedrunning have put in their 2 cents on the billy mitchell cheating news. just like... wait for it. Many people who do NOT watch womens swimming have weighed in on that issue

Do you see the similarities or do I need to slow it down more?

Conservatives would be worrying about the sanctity of knitting contests and games of Tic Tac Toe if someone they're told to hate is involved.

Ok, but I need a little more.

He's the first member of The DK Crew, that much is known.

But why?

Is it the tie?

I dunno, a lot of people weighed in on Lance Armstrong cheating and no one said "only comment if you're actually an athlete so you can understand and feel and have a stake in what took place". Cheating is not trans, but people do feel.it offers an unfair advantage, which is really what the argument is about

Much of it is fear of the unfamiliar. People who've never watched transgender permissive sporting competitions, shouldn't be posting ITT.
