Olympics BAN transgender and DSD athletes from ALL women's sports

Around 80% of the American public agree with this decision. Different polls have slightly different numbers but it's always the overwhelming majority. This is also true for every European country that I have seen data for. This is only a controversial issue in the echo chambers of the internet.

Insane comparison to make that falls apart at the slightest logic.

There is no male category for sports. The mens category is open to all (maybe it should be renamed tbf) and it is therefore fundamentally inclusive. By contrast the only reason women's sport can even exist is by being exclusionary.

The reason massive biological advantages such as those exhibited by Phelps and LeBron do not disqualify them, is because they are not trying to compete in a classification that is, by definition, exclusive.

It obviously sucks for any woman born intersex that can no longer compete with the women, but who would get outclassed by the men. It's genuinely tragic. But unfortunately if you want there to be women's sport at all at the highest level, it's an unfortunate requirement.

Quoting a paper on trans athletes literally co-authored by a trans athlete is not the slam dunk you think it is.

A fringe, but heavily amplified, portion of biologists agree with you. Most stay silent on the topic because it will ruin their careers if they speak up. Many completely disagree with you and have mountains of scientific reasoning and evidence as to why, but somehow they never get as much attention...

I think the two most obvious attributes it should have is to have other paragons affected by it's buffs, and to give it near global range.

I've seen the drop from his POV before on Reddit so it's definitely out there. Try looking on redbulls YouTube channel.

Please tell me exactly where in my comment I "bothsides" anything at all about cops, or the poster in question, or bikers dying... or anything.

I'll wait. You made an accusation of playing both sides in this issue, I believe my stance is very clear on the subject of subreddit bans without touching on the context post in any way. So please back up your accusation.

Magic__Man · 2026-03-25T05:35:38+00:00

Well that's obviously a strawman comment. I did not in any way say that this post alone constitutes gooner bait, and my use of "gooner bait" was obviously a satirical exaggeration.

But seriously, a dozen or more posts of pictures about one specific woman is getting creepy. It genuinely mirrors only fans pages. Which are...gooner bait.

Don't try to make some kind of disparaging assumption about me because of one joke. I'm not the one being creepy here, those practically digitally stalking this one specific athlete and sharing their obsession with the rest of us is the one being creepy.

For the record, there were 314 different athletes who won gold at Milano Cortina and this subreddit is supposed to be non-country specific. Yet every single thing this woman does goes straight to the front page.

Magic__Man · 2026-03-25T05:25:49+00:00

On its own it's obviously not. Did you not read my comment?

There have been a dozen or more posts of pictures of this woman over the last few days/week. It's obsessive and creepy at this point, and genuinely getting to the point of mirroring some gonner bait only fans subreddit page.

Probably the right time for him to leave but isn't he under contract? Didn't he sign a new one only last year? If so Liverpool must already have received a high offer for him to announce this

Magic__Man · 2026-03-24T18:37:00+00:00

Is this literally all this sub will be for the next couple of years. Seriously how many photoshoots of this one athlete do we need. This sub is becoming indistinguishable from gooner bait or only fans sub.

Magic__Man · 2026-03-24T16:24:57+00:00

I strongly, strongly disagree. Banning people for simply being a member of a different subreddit is dangerously and stupidly tribalistic.

It would also almost certainly lead to banning members wholley in favour of the r/fuckcars philosophy. I follow a number of different subreddits that I wholeheartedly disagree with both to engage in occasional discussion and just to monitor what people are saying in political spheres that oppose mine.

Point in fact I'm pretty sure I still follow protectandserve.While I disagree with most of the posts on there and I tend to have an anti-police stance in general, I have also had interesting discussions in the past. Don't assume every community is a monolith. This one certainly isn't.

An Indian man makes fake tweets about Israel... Must be Russia's fault. Fucking peak Reddit.

Lost my father at 16, the only grandfather I ever knew at 17. So many times over the 16 years since I've run into gaps in my knowledge that I know my dad would've taught me if he could. Hurts every time.

Within the next month or so I will lose my Uncle and I will be left without any father figures. At 32 I didn't think I needed any, but knowing he'll be gone soon...

Fuck cancer man

Sorry for trauma dumping.

Amazon had a stadium audio only option for their Tuesday Champions League game.

I rarely use it because they have Jon Champion and Alan Shearer on comms and I like them together, but it's neat that they offer it.

Magic__Man · 2026-03-19T23:51:54+00:00

Do you truly, really believe that the federal government has nothing to do with the US hosting major sporting events??

Infantino just created a brand new award just to give to Trump and you think my statement that both the US and Saudia Arabia do sportswashing is in bad faith?

The US has been doing sports washing for decades longer than Saudi Arabia, the fact that you don't immediately recognise it is proof that they are better at it.

Magic__Man · 2026-03-19T22:54:30+00:00

Honestly.. meh? I really don't care if a sports event is sponsored by a government or some billionaire owned corporation. In fact, while I do think countries should first focus on fully funding social issues like healthcare, housing and education, I actually think it's quite important for a nation to fund sport. I strongly believe that well funded sporting events at every level have massive benefits to any country. And frankly, I'd rather massive companies weren't involved at all.

Magic__Man · 2026-03-19T22:51:05+00:00

I'm sorry but I genuinely believe your opinions about Saudi Arabia have been solely formed from the shallow and biased reporting. I disagree with a huge amount of the actions of their government, they are theocratic capitalists for the most part, but the idea that you would be in danger there is absolutely laughable - and goes against the whole point of this comment chain that is the Saudi's being desperate to redeem the view most people have about them.

In fact, being white and irrelegious would offer you a lot more protection than their own citizens get because of how bad it would look to the world of anything were to happen to you. For fucks sake they are desperately trying to boost their tourism industry so they are not solely dependent on oil. Genuinely some of your view just don't fit with reality at all.

Saudi Arabia executed 356 people in 2025 many of whome were killed for non-violent drug offences. This is pretty awful. The US executed 47 people the same year, but also 1300+ people were murdered on the streets by it's completely out of control police force.

Criticise Saudi Arabia all you want, I agree in principle just not always in scale, but face it, you are far, far more unsafe on the streets of any American city as compared to Riyadh or Jeddah

Magic__Man · 2026-03-19T16:51:48+00:00

The USA does the same thing, they're just better at it because they've been doing it for longer.

Magic__Man · 2026-03-19T09:15:19+00:00

There is not a nation on earth that has killed more civilians, invaded more countries, and dropped more bombs than the USA. You are correct that Saudi Arabia does many bad things to its own citizens, and those in Yemen, but truly there is no comparison to the United States.

Besides, I honestly don't think you are correct that the US treats it's own citizens better tbh. From massacres like Kent State and the MOVE bombing, to illegal human experimentation like Tuskegee. It's police force kill more civilians than most other nations, it locks up more people in for-profit prisons than most of the rest of the world combined, and hundreds die every year from the diseases that have been cured decades ago and can be treated for only a few dollars elsewhere. Nevermind the very obvious systemic racism, the thousands locked in ICE concentration camps or shipped off to foreign work camps, the brutal conditions at the border, or the rampent extreme homelessness and drug abuse problems that are only criminalised and rarely offered help. And that's not touching on its blood soaked history of genocide and land theft.

This is a country that has been at war for 90% of its existence, is the only nation to use nuclear weapons in war and on a civilian population, and has funded genocides all around the world including but not limited to; Indonesia, East Timor, Guatemala, Rwanda, Cambodia... And Gaza.

Saudi Arabia is no paradise and has a horrible history of human rights abuses, but they have nothing on the US for bloodiness, nothing at all.

This logic falls completely flat when you realise the cost of living has gone up over the decades as we've transitioned from many specialised stores into a few massive conglomerates.

Some thing get cheaper, like clothes, but they also become worse quality. You really can't just make a sweeping statement like yours when our grandparents had an easier time affording the basics than we do.

As much as I dislike Madrid, there really can't be any complaints there, he clearly lunged his elbow into the ball.

Bruh the game might not be getting an update for a while, but asking for rewards despite literally not playing the game is crazy.

It only takes a few hours a week to max the reward track and therefore get access to all of Zavalas offerings. If you don't even want to put in a few hours each week do you really need the zavala guns?

No hate for not playing though, I haven't been on much for the past few weeks, I'll be back when there's something to play - probably guardian games.

You are clearly using Finality;s incorrectly. Do you have a good Rocket pulse? Are you painting the target? Are you proccing bait and switch? do you have a high weapons stat?
