Yeah, the trans community is never over-obsessed and never overreacts over trivial stuff making everyone more unsympathetic.

When you say it like that, I realize that there's a huge overlap between the trans community and my sister-in-law

People need to learn to parse the difference between 'racism helps explain why this show isn't as popular' (which it blatantly does) and 'if you don't like the show you must be racist'. Because no. But... plenty of people disinterested are going to be disinterested or against the show for exactly that reason.

I shouldn't be surprised that no one even looks at the scientific argument. Good chance that anyone who does would get banned anyway

Since you won’t see details there:

Quote from: FINA
The Science Group reported that biological sex is a key determinant of athletic performance, with males outperforming females in sports (including Aquatics sports) that are primarilydetermined by neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and respiratory function, and anthropometrics including body and limb size. The extent of the male/female performance gap varies by sport and competition, but the gap universally emerges starting from the onset of puberty. The group reported that there are sex-linked biological differences in Aquatics, especially among elite athletes, that are largely the result of the substantially higher levels of testosterone to which males are exposed from puberty onwards. Prior to puberty, testosterone levels are similar in females and males. During puberty, however, testes-derived testosterone concentrations increase 20-fold in males, while testosterone concentrations remain low in females so that post-pubescent males have circulating testosterone concentrations at least 15 times higher than post-pubescent females (15-20 nmol/L in adult males versus c.1 nmol/L in typical females of any age). High testosterone levels generate not only anatomical divergence in the reproductive system but also measurably different body types/compositions between sexes.

According to the Science Group, if gender-affirming male-to-female transition consistent with the medical standard of care is initiated after the onset of puberty, it will blunt some, but not all, of the effects of testosterone on body structure, muscle function, and other determinants of performance, but there will be persistent legacy effects that will give male-to-female transgender athletes (transgender women) a relative performance advantage over biological females. A biological female athlete cannot overcome that advantage through training or nutrition. Nor can they take additional testosterone to obtain the same advantage, because testosterone is a prohibited substance under the World Anti-Doping Code.

So in short, their Science Group determined that if you can’t prevent the effects of testosterone on the body before puberty, it will give the individual an unfair advantage with the associated biological changes, even if afterwards removed from testosterone post-pubescent.

This is pretty much where I am on the whole trans athlete thing.  If you go through puberty as a male you shouldn’t participate in women’s sports.  I’d be curious to know if they’d ban a trans athlete who transitioned before puberty though.

This reminds me of how dumb the initial premise of the game is. Kamala gets to meet the Avengers because... she won a fan fiction contest. Fan fiction about the Avengers who are real people in her world. You then even get dialogue like Black Widow saying to her "The way you had me fight monsters in the sewers, really cool stuff". How did an entire writing staff okay this weird ass premise.

FINA Headquarters, February 2022:
"So it's agreed, we ban trans women from women's competitions and we'll figure out the fake science to justify it later. I think this should take effect immediately."
"Hold up, Joanne, June is Pride Month, wouldn't that be more ideal?"
"Good point, Helen, we'll keep it secret until then. All agreed say yay?"

Science is a liar sometimes  :snob

Bad science did and does exist, in their defense. You had doctoral dickheads decades ago thinking transorbital lobotomies were good therapy for mental illness. That’s not to say FINA is wrong, but science is still adjudicated by human beings and human beings can really suck sometimes.

Transorbital lobotomies are bad but orbital lobotomies are good?  You aren’t slick pal :ufup

Reeeeesetera: The science is on our side. Biological males who have transitioned do not have an unfair advantage.

Everyone else: That study was very limited and more research is needed.

Reeeeesetera: Fuck you big*t, the science proves it. End of story, no more research necessary.

FINA: Our scientific panel has conducted more research and deemed biological males who experience male puberty have an unfair advantage.

Reeeeesetera: Fuck you FINA science panel. You're just trying to do a genocide and how dare you make this decision during pride month of all months. TERF bitch Joanne is somehow responsible for this. I'm so tired.

It's definitely based on politics and prejudice not science, but that won't stop bigots, JAQoffers and even a few confused people to actually parrot that there is science even though their ruling and study doesn't actually outline anything and the IOC ruling is based on what science has been done. Confirmation bias and all that...

Yes it is a hypothetical, I'm trying to get a better understanding of this issue. So to clarify for my own sake,when people say they ignore Trans men, are they then viewing them as women still, only they are "cross dressing", or do they just ignore the fact they were born biologically as a female sex and just go on the idea they are male in all ways?

When the discussion of gender identity and trans people come up, it regularly ignores trans men. Obviously the bigots/transphobes don't consider them an "actual man", but acknowledging them destroys a lot of their arguments.

Most (All?) transphboic arguments are born out of misogyny and sexism in some way or another. So if they can't frame an argument against trans men that makes it misogynic, they tend not to. That's why all the news stories are about trans women and trans girls.

:confused

If a transphobe believes mtf trans people are not 'real' women, then arguments against them are inherently not misogynistic.

It also literally undermines the entire concept of a 'TERF'

Uh, they ignore trans men because there's no advantage gained to compete in the other gender category. Nobody gives a shit if women or trans men compete in the men's division because it's the highest possible division, there's no handicap involved.

the most logical, fair and importantly, coolest solution is to have an anything goes olympics where you can do whatever the fuck you want to your body and compete against anyone. so you can have a non gender specific 8ft vein beast pumped with more T than the average Tyrannosaurus vs some paralympian who has been augmented with parts of a monster truck vs a lifelong MK ultra test case who can levitate and fire napalm out of his dong.

So do they assume that a trans man will never win first place? If so then that is insanity on so many levels given the skill, speed and stroke of the swimmer, since that's how you win a race to my knowledge.

Good to know that women’s records in swimming are slower not due to any biological advantages for male swimmers but lesser skill, speed and stroke on the part of the women.

They would basically be torpedoing their entire stance based around alleged competitive advantage if they excluded trans men from competing in the men’s division.

This is what happens if you believe this whole discussion is just in bad faith and anyone who wants restrictions secretly just hates trans people. Basically they think that they just haven't found an excuse yet to ban trans men

Can't wait until they start dissecting the speeches made by the female athletes. There will be some serious incel vibes then.

Example A checking in:

Has a trans man ever won something on the level of an NCAA championship? I think that's the reason why a lot of people aren't worried about them, they don't see trans men as a threat to men's sports :/
No it's has nothing to do with just sports. 95% of anti-trans arguments and the beliefs and bullet points they use to justify transphobia fall apart if they allow for the existence of trans men. For instance Bathroom bills are based around "trans women are not real just perverts invading womens spaces to rape them or abuse them" leading to bills saying you have to use the bathroom of biological birth sex. Which means trans men would have to use woman's bathrooms. Which would scare most women more if they saw a trans man especially since trans men seem to pass easier than trans women. So they just pretend trans men don't exist. That's just one example.

I think the always online trans women just don’t want to give up the privilege they enjoyed when they were men and the world revolved around them.  Pretty sexist if you ask me :kermit

It's simple, let's just get rid of the divide. Everyone competes against each other. Let's see how long it takes for those "progressives" to lose their shit.

It really does seem it’s getting to that point. The results would speak for themselves and the silence would be blessedly deafening.

The irony is that women's team sports are really just starting to gain some serious traction around the world and a bunch of women who used to be men are doing everything they can to blow it all up.

I can understand the anger among female athletes.

... that's not the end of the story. C'mon!

That's some Empire Strikes Back shit. You're at the low point, where the hero is up against the ropes.

Hurry up and get to the part where you finally learn to use the force, can swing your light saber with your mind, and get a sweet job acting in commercials that lead to your first streaming network sitcom role. You become a breakout hit, win an award or two, your wife's parents find out about the marriage on tabloid news when they see you and her on the red carpet.

Y'all have another rough patch because to further your career, you need to move to California. To throw another wrench into the gears, your previous love that you left back at home, has become a writer, and has become so successful that she is doing a world book tour. After signings in Amsterdam, Rome, Egypt and Tokyo, she's doing a couple in Vancouver and California.

Seeing her rekindles intense emotions thought long extinguished, and while in love with your wife, you battle with yourself to make the right choice.

Hurry up and get to the 3rd act!

My first, shared (yes, I was sharing a room with another guy, separate beds), room was located in Bushwick in a neighborhood that most people would avoid. To me, it looked exactly like the starting area in GTA IV.

Meanwhile Nep Nep explains how to get that sweet Overwatch loot -

Quote
So long as you played like 5-10 games a day for a year or so, you'd be able to eventually have everything you want with thousands of credits to spare. All I wanted to do was max out Lucio's cosmetics. I have everything of his, and 21k credits and 200 lootboxes to boot. I never spent a dime on lootboxes themselves.

This model is great for people who are willing to play the long game and be patient.

See scrubs. Play the long game! There's no need to buy loot boxes when you can easily spend 3 hours a day, every day, for over a year grinding for skins

Most people don't play Overwatch like Nepenthe though.  They don't just obsessively play one single character because they have an ethnonarcissistic obsession with them.  Most people want skins and options for more than one character after playing 5000 plus hours.

Why do companies think "let's just do the Matrix for real" is a good idea? I'm not sure "it's literally impossible to tell the difference between VR and the real world" is something tech companies should be attempting to target.

Hey Nep, are you coming down to the ACAB protest. We're raising money for the latest shooting victim?
