I’m just picturing that robot from Star Trek (the one thinking about “this sentence is false”) going “huh” and then blowing up…
it’s hilarious that i see more press coverage/ discussion about the scandals every olympics than i see anyone talking about the winners. for the same reason reality tv ever became a thing
Why are you making up lies? The Olympic Committee requires transgender female athletes to have been on estrogen and T blockers for at least two years before competing in the women’s league.
I’ve seem more coverage on this than the Netherlands sending a convicted child rapist to represent their country
Was at a kid’s birthday party and one of the dads brought up the subject, I asked if Michael Phelps should have been disqualified for having a genetic advantage over the people he was competing with and if Imane Khelif would have been treated that way 20 years ago, that shut him up real quick.
Imane Khelif has XY chromosomes
Even if it mattered (it doesn’t), we don’t know this. We know that the IBA says she failed some kind of gender test, and that one member of the IBA later and unofficially came out and gave more detail about that. But we have no reason to trust any of it, because the IBA’s official statements have been vague and evasive, and anyway the IBA is so corrupt that even the IOC refuses to deal with them, which is why the IOC is operating boxing directly itself at this Olympics.
Most internally coherent right wing opinion
(I’m like 80% sure it’s a parody, you just can’t tell these days)
this is why more people should take college level biology/anatomy. Testosterone don’t mean shit if you have a broken gene for testosterone receptors. A Y-chromosome also needs a functional SRY to trigger male phenotypes.
Education isn’t the problem. Bad actors with malicious intent are.
Back in the 90s, we used to say, “If people were more educated then…” and saw the internet as a way to deliver that education. Look how that turned out.
Ultimately it comes down to fuckability.
Christ, is this why anti-trans people are so focused on this shit? Because they can only think of people in terms of their fuckability through their own experiences? And through their tunnel vision, anyone with complex sex gene and hormone biology, and who present differently than the anti-trans person’s gender or the gender they’re typically attracted to, is automatically a filthy gender-bending subhuman??
“I am hot man. This is hot girl. These here are neither hot men like me nor hot girl like her. EX*CUTE THEM!!!”
That’s part of it, yeah. A major part
Women are only good for one thing, that’s the idea behind it all. Any time a woman isn’t fuckable, they become lesser, no matter what other traits they have.
It’s misogyny all the way down. Now, to the sides, there’s also other prejudice involved, but the basis of the anti trans thought is the same basis as misogyny.
Almost. It’s only fuckability, but through a lens of their own sexual repression. Gay is bad by definition and now they have to answer the question: Is it gay to find this attractive woman attractive if it used to have a penis?
The answer is: Labels don’t matter. Everything’s all individual, anyway. This person is attractive to you or not, period. There’s a) no implication on your sexual preferences and b) if there was, who cares? Or rather, it’s only you and your likes who care, and none of you have to.
You can bet your ass that if she had some conventionally beautiful face, none of this shit would have happened.
