Current Events > The trans sports panic comes for cis girls

(+) Yeah! (+)

Oh good, so whenever cis women lose at high school level sports, they can just call out their opponent for being trans?

Yeah this is CLEARLY a better option than letting trans women play sports.

Transphobia hurts everyone. Fuck transphobes.

This is fucked and comoletely expected. When these shit head parents do this kind of stuff they also likely fail to take into account the social and psychological consequences for the person they accuse.

Imagine being a teenage girl, with all the bullshit that comes with that, then some fuckhead parent accuses you of being trans. Imagine how you are going to be treated after that by classmates, teachers, and the community around you. Imagine the psychological effects of that accusation and the social isolation that will come with it. This will lead to suicides.

Which honestly is probably the point for a bunch of these conservatives. "This wouldn't be a problem if you weren't out playing sports like a man instead of learning how to cook, clean, and pump out babies like you are supposed to".

In short, fuck these people. Fuck conservatives and fuck transphobes.

Remember when Utah banned trans women from competing in sports, and it turned out it affected one person in the entire state?

Its not like politicians have more important things to be doing, right?

And of course this stuff further demonizes trans people all the while. They want trans people eradicated.

Weird it was less than a month ago that Tenlaar said this wasnt gonna happen.

This is punchable behavior.

Yeah because violence solves everything

Yeah because violence solves everything

Tenlaar is wrong more often than not by a considerable amount.

Oh I didn't see this topic lol

Life is a joke.

The fact they've received complaints because 'girl doesn't look feminine enough' shows they have the depth of a puddle in a dry desert

This argument is really good for this issue:

Tl;dr: sports are never fair. There are always some genetic component that contributes to an edge in competitions. Top basketball players aren't tall because they play basketball, but they play basketball because they are tall.

The same with women. There are cis women born with bodies that produce more testoterone, or just have more muscle growth that is genetic, and these usually give them competitive edge in physical sports so transwomen, while the science says they do still have an advantage over majority of cis women, shouldn't be treated differently than those who are born cis.

Aka this is all just excuse to persecute trans ppl

Actually water doesn't absorb into dry ground as easily which is why deserts are so prone to flash floods. The rain just can't be soaked fast enough.

I mean the fact the puddle wouldn't exist at all. There is no depth.

So how long before DNA tests are required to play youth sports?

Transphobia being enforced through laws and policies IS violence against trans people

Violence is the use of physical force so as to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy - Wikipedia

Yes, and injure is to bring harm to. Are you suggesting that no harm befalls trans people who fall victim to policies that prevent them from having access to activities that the rest of the population has without question?

This type of shit could be weaponized by bullies so easily.

I don't really like this argument. Suggesting that sports are just inherently unfair gives the impression that trans women in sports are just genetically better off, when there's very limited evidence to suggest that, especially with the amount of HRT that's required often for trans athletes to actually compete (things like NCAA and the Olympics have had HRT requirements for decades)

Using the argument "Sports are inherently unfair" just gives a lot of weight to transphobic arguments that haven't done nearly enough work to earn that. Not to mention it leads to things like "well then why do we bother with women's sports at all?"

The section of HRT is... weird. 2 of the 3 studies are based on trans men vs. trans women, When the actual debate is about trans women vs. cis women or trans men vs cis men. And the only study shared that even comes close comes with the caveat of "this isn't actually how we measure athletic performance". It certainly doesn't do a particularly good job of saying trans women are just empirically better equipped for sports against cis women, which is how they just start the next section assuming.
