this thread

Yeah, nerds, you were picked on because you were nerds, you fuckin nerd ass nerds. Eat a dick, both of you. You both have this idea that everyone who was bullied or picked on was some nerded out weirdo who made their obsession their everything, meanwhile I was one of many kids who got picked on, beat up and attacked just for liking role playing games or being in drama. We had a fucking wrestling team break in the doors to the theatre while we were rehearsing, because SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS. Nice to know the attitude is still that getting picked on is my fault, 20 years later.

So he was beat up for being a nerd?

[Cauliflower Of Love]

the fuck?




also,

I am. As a cis male, I am.

BABIES ARE NOT BORN WITH ANY DISTINGUISHING STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS.

I realize I may seem like splitting hairs, but have you ever SEEN a baby? Again, hormones around puberty start defining the extra muscle mass guys accumulate in adolescence. Again, read the studies in the OP.

[benjipwns]

secret good part about that resentment thread is the OP getting increasingly angry at people dismissing his premise

not surprised you're storefrontphobic to go along with tranmsphobic

[benjipwns]

Yeah when your headline study is on the self reported long distance running times of eight people over the course of several years, there is no way that you can state that there is no advantage in powerlifting which is an entirely different sport. There may not be an advantage but it should be evaluated.

great, now they're all over the thread, this is terrible, nice science based discussion is being thrown out because of these sneaky fuckers

[benjipwns]

Like, what about Basketball? Everyone who is over 2m large have an inherent advantage over people who are not as large. Everyone who is over 2,1m have an avantage over those. Guess what: They are still not banned. Because that would be insane and differences in physicality are just an everyday reality. So if a guy is 15 cm taller than another guy, giving him an advantage in playing the sport? Well, that's just the way it is, we can't just forbid him from playing Basketball, can we? That would be crazy!

this is stupid, you're stupid

It's inane and the thought process only works if you still think that sex and gender are completely binary and every women is comptley the same as every other woman, simply because they have a vagina.

typical incel logic, women are only vaginas

So what are the chances that ICE has access to some NSA federal database and some ICEhole decided to check him out after his comments about kids at the border and then decide to do this as retribution?

why would they need a "NSA federal database" rather than their own immigration records

(I hate myself for typing that out)

POCs can be white supremacists

So I've noticed a lot of people on my timeline have started using "white supremacy" as a synonym for the Establishment / the Status Quo / Orthodoxy when.... its not the same fucking thing at all.

Like, I'm sure if you made a venn diagram of Hot Button Issues, you'd find White Supremacists in the middle as anti everything, but I'm equally sure you'll find militant Black Supremacists in the anti gay rights / womens independence / trans acceptance overlap circles (and actually in agreement with a number of specific ideals espoused by white supremacists).

The TERF position isn't coming from a place of racial bias, and its baffling to pretend it is, other than I guess saying "I'm fighting WHITE SUPREMACY!" sounds better than "I'm trying to disrupt certain orthodox preconceptions" I guess.
I mean, Apartheid wasn't that fucking long ago guys.

The TERF position is coming from the same place that the blacklivesmatter reluctance to de-emphasise that its about black lives; its a cause that people have fought for on very specific criteria, and are reluctant to see co-opted by people who might broadly align but do not fit that criteria.
I mean, you can disagree with that position, but claiming its something that it isn't is not conducive to discourse or finding agreement on general principles.

I was just replying to Cauliflower helping to clear up they're misunderstanding.

On the topic of TERF = White Supremacy, it's certainly possible that trans-exclusion could lead one toward white supremacist groups because they truck in some of the same ideology, but they are not one in the same at all and I'd imagine that most TERFs would be vehemently against the idea of a white ethnostate.

However, the status quo as a stand in for white supremacy isn't weird considering... white supremacy is the status quo in America. People conflating the two is natural.

The same ideology of exclusion. One can necessarily lead to another if you are immersing yourself in the wrong places.

Seems like the best way to do this is get rid of gender based sports and instead base it on their weight and other measurable attributes.

Honestly before reading the articles I was of the belief they had an inherent advantage and was skeptical.
Based on the data I see no harm in allowing trans to compete in there chosen fields.

Its clear that more research needs to be done but until its proven one way or another inclusion seems the only sensible option.

The default answer should be to let everybody compete and figure things out from there.

Or they could just allow women to compete with women. If it's as obvious as some of you make out it is then all the trans women will rise the top of their respective sports right? Then there will be a clear evidence base to work with.

I rather let trans folk be let in, and then after some time when enough and concrete data is had, make a decision whether segregating trans folk is warranted.

The question is, what to do or don’t do while all the sports associations figures out the new rules. A BAN is not a rule, is a lack of trying. Not doing anything is not that good either.

what's with all these men posting what they'd let women do? why are they not shutting up and listening to what the women decide, whatever it may be?

this is why packs of women are leaving in trams

Yet taking the piss out of somebody who's being deported after he contributed a ridiculous amount to both the US economy (next to a regular person) and his Atlanta community by an institutionally racist organisation that murders kids and destroys family is fair game.

I just wish people on forums would stop judging others based on whether or not they have an ‘anime avatar’. It’s common to see a user’s post completely ignored and just responded with a quote of their avatar. And if you don’t like this, you get called a “walking persecution complex”.

I just think it’s shitty. I could understand slightly if someone used an image of a male MC surrounded with girls at his feet but not a freaking Serial Experiments Lain, Priss from Bubblegum Crisis or Poppi alpha avatar. Liking anime doesn’t equal bad person.
