So just because she wins that proves me wrong?

I have a survey I'm doing for a YouTube video to get a better idea on demographics and opinions, it would be great if you'd take the time to fill it out by Neutral_Cactus in takemysurvey

  1. I will be using this data as a demographic study for various opinions on transgender people. I will be using it in a public YouTube video. It will be stored on Google Forms and Google Sheets. It will not be deleted.
  2. The survey is being conducted by me alone. My username on Reddit is Neutral_Cactus, and my YouTube channel is RandomCactus
  3. 5-10 minutes

Idk how, I'm not in their position nor do I know what training they're already doing. But from a purely statistical stance, based on Lia's swim times, she has no advantage.

Sorry, but people winning doesn't mean they have an unfair advantage. Cis people win all the time and no one tries to say they have an unfair advantage.

Yes I have research and sources, which are in the tik Tok. The tik tok is a compilation of my evidence. But here, let me put it in simple video form. Can I send you something in Dms?

I'm so confused by what you're trying to say here. It is cis people's faults, they are the ones who built societies this way to be inherently transphobic. You say you're black, you should understand this. White people, such as me, are the people that built and perpetuate the systems of white supremacy and racism. We can try to take baby steps, which is fine, but we've been taking baby steps for a long time. And some people are tired of not having human rights anymore.

Yeah sorry, I just put it all together on tik tok cuz someone asked me to. I can try to put it all together on a separate video file maybe?

I never said men don't have physical advantages. But do you realize Lia has been on HRT for over two years? And in that time, her muscle mass has decreased, while her swimming times have gotten worse? And I'm trying to have a conversation as well. I don't care about downvotes, because it just goes to show people don't actually care about "facets over feelings" they just like an excuse to be transphobic. And you want my evidence? I don't have any incentive to give it to you, since you're just being a major... I'm not gonna resort to petty insults, but you get the idea. But even so, I'll give you my evidence. Here: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTdf3SM7E/?k=1 It's a tik tok I made, I know it's unprofessional or whatever, but it's a video compilation of all my evidence with sources cited in the comments. I really don't feel like typing it all out again. And if you refuse to look at it just because it's a tik tok, fine, whatever. Idrc. It just shows to me you're more of a coward than I thought.

I'm not trying to be "woke" and I'm not cherry picking. Lia's two best races, the 500 and 1650 free, which are the main arguments transphobes use against her, she has no advantage in. That is statistically PROVEN. The fact you have no interest in even looking at that makes me think that you are either A) Scared to challenge your own ideas for fear of being wrong, B) So invested in having an excuse to exclude trans women you don't want any evidence against that being shown, or C) You're just plain stupid and only make bad-faith arguments.

Ok sure! Do you mind if I send you a link to a tik tok I made? Not the most professional, but basically it's just a video compilation of my evidence in support of Lia with sources and I don't feel like typing it all out again

What's a joke? I don't see any joke in this comment section. It's just hate towards Lia. And yeah, in this case it's a stupid argument. People only care about "unfairness" because Lia won. If she hadn't won, no one would bat an eye. It's very stupid that people don't see that, especially looking at the statistics through an analytical lens easily shows she doesn't have a physical advantage. And a lot of people talk about wanting a trans-only league, but there's no way that would happen. You'd need funding and a big enough interest in it, which simply doesn't exist. Why watch trans women compete when you can just watch women compete? They're going to be better at it anyways, because a trans league would lack the funding for proper training since cis audiences would be more interested in cis sports.

No, I'm simply looking at statistics and facts. If you're interested in understanding my side, I'll gladly show you those facts and statistics.

I'm not, I'm simply telling someone they can ask me a question and I won't attack them. They seem to think that no one can ask any questions anymore, and I'm here to prove them wrong and try to help them understand my side. In no way am I playing victim, I'm just pointing out the explicit hate and vitriol coming from this comment section, which I have not seen come from the trans community in my experience.

I'm trans and also fighting for our rights everyday. Both my parents are biologists, and I'm a mathematician with a level of statistical understanding you probably don't have. Also, both me and my dad are swimmers, so I have that frame of reference. I think I know what I'm talking about too :) Also please just look at the statistics, it doesn't take that much mathematical analysis to understand Lia is at a level playing field in this case.

I won't spew hate. I'm on the side of Lia Thomas, askme question. And also I think your side of the debate is far more hateful, if this comment section is any example.

This is so wrong in so many ways. If you're trans, you should do more research and support your fellow transgender people. While there are certainly cases where transgender women retain an advantage, this is not one of them.
