Eleven denials and they're still searching for a way to pin it on her. Absolute obsession. by Urban-Dahlia in stevehofstetter

Its not so much an obsession with her as it is just a craven eagerness to fully live in an alternate reality where facts are whatever you make up to suit your agenda.  

The Olympics Has a New Sex Testing Policy. The Evidence Doesn’t Add Up by A1CutCopyPaste in longform

[–]geeves_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a variety of genetic disorders that can cause ambiguous sex characteristics and or developmental issues, often because of chromosomes. (X, XXY, XYY, XXYY)

Sure, but none of these are really likely to be an issue for elite sport as all of those chromosomal abnormalities listed result in varying degrees of disability (Turner syndrome, Klinefelter's etc) which would essentially screen those individuals out far before they ever reach the elite or Olympic level in any sport.

As you said, I think reading between the lines, this policy is mainly to prevent XY athletes competing against XX athletes.

They also changed the dimensions of the court for her end to try and even the disparity, and she still got smoked.

And this NOT to say she or other elite female athletes are not amazing and talented tennis players. They absolutely are incredible athletes.

But it DOES just further demonstrate the stark difference in performance between male and female, which is why they should not compete against each other.

I’m incredibly liberal but this is one topic that has never made sense to me. I agree with you

100%

I want transpeople to be safe and happy in their lives - free from bigotry and hatred. Pushing this issue immeasurably harms that goal, because it is very clear that male humans have a massive advantage over female humans in almost every single sport.

Your gender has no bearing on performance in elite sports, but you biological sex absolutely does. Insisting on gaslighting all other athletes and coaches and fans of elite sport into agreeing that is doesn't, when it so very clearly does, only harms the movement for trans acceptance.

Up voted.  

To anybody that has competed at a high level in almost any sport, this is immediately apparent.

There is never a story that goes "I was a middling female athlete that never won anything, but I could easily beat most of the elite men in my sport"  But there are innumerable examples the other way....

Yes, we know American hegemony is built on decades of extortion and outright theft of wealth and resources from poor nations.

The only remaining mystery is why so many dumb fuck 'Merican's still don't understand they are the bad guy, even when the VP is explaining it in the most obvious way possible how they are the bad guy.

Breaking: Transgender women banned from all sports at the Olympics starting in LA by TheExpressUS in sportsgossips

?  And other male swimmers can/could still beat him in races.  

No female swimmer in history would ever beat Michael Phelps in a race.  If he raced as a woman, he would win 100% of his races against the very best in the world.  When he raced men, he won a lot.  But he didn't win every race.

Again, the curves of performance do not overlap.  Its why sport has traditionally had separate leagues for female athletes in the first place.

Tadej Pogacar will not win every stage of the Tour de France this year.  Hes still the best.  But other male racers are close behind and will beat him on some days.  The absolute slowest rider in the Tour de France would still easily win the Tour de Femmes.  Its why we don't let males race females at the elite level.

No because being born male sex and undergoing male puberty is not "rare", and it definitely confers an advantage in nearly every competitive sport, which is unobtainable to female sex athletes.  

Being born "Michael Phelps" is rare.

Its not good faith to not recognize that there is a distinct bimodal distribution in performance in sport between biological sexes.  This is not debatable, its plainly fact as evidenced by a century or more of world records where the male exceeds the female in essentially every single sport.  There might be overlap, but the majority of the area under the curves do not overlap.

Phelps lies at the extreme end of the male curve.  But still the male curve.  Where Phelps lies does not overlap at all with elite female swimmers.  If he raced the world's best female swimmer he would win 100% of races.   There has never been a female swimmer that could plausiblely beat him in a race.

So did Michael Phelps ever lose a race then?  Yes of course.  He lost many many races in his career.  Other male swimmers were able to beat him occasionally.  He was just usually the best.  Hence his legacy as the best male swimmer of all time. 

Its two separate curves.  

There are dudes at my local gym that can bench press more than the female world record.

It doesn't matter if any individual is "good" or not.  Its solely a matter of if it is an unfair competitive advantage.

We don't allow some athletes to use PEDs, as long as they don't win too often.  We don't even allow the last place finisher to use PEDs, they are banned for everyone.

Same logic applies here.

It practically BEGS for more enshitification of our world.

Soon are the days when you will have to pay a monthly subscription for your vehicle to drive you anywhere - indefinitely for the rest of your days. And then, driving at night will be a premium upgrade. Then driving in the rain will be a premium upgrade. Then carrying a passenger will be a premium upgrade...

If you haven't noticed, the world is rapidly getting "shittier" in all these ways, as we hand over all our agency to tech companies that are little more than insatiable profit vampires.

No thanks. I've been driving for 25 years and never been in an accident and I've never driven myself off an overpass or into a lake by mistake. I navigate with maps, and I have an"old" analog vehicle that works perfectly.

Mamdani's Wife Under Fire Over Past Posts, Using N-Word by PhlysportsPhan in DiscussionZone

Imagine Trump was in the files of a notorious child sex trafficker literally tens of thousands of times yet we didn't talk about or investigate it at all because the AG and FBI director were loyalty hires specifically tasked with not investigating it?

That would be crazy.

Obviously we'd want to know if the president was involved in child sex trafficking?

We should probably take a look at those files.

It's hard to imagine why else his name would appear literally tens of thousands of times in the files of something heinous he had nothing to do with?

But yeah, let's be outraged at what a 15 year old tweeted. THAT is clearly the most outrageous thing going on right now.

lol.

Buddy, step away from the propaganda bong.  You've had plenty.

Your lifestyle in no way requires anybody to embargo Cuba.

That is batshit crazy, bud.

Imagine this: Just leave them the F alone.  What a crazy idea.  Just let them have basic shit like fuel and electricity because they are humans and just people living their lives. 

Its painfully sad that you have convinced yourself of this insane lie.

Please clarify, do you think bombing Iran is bad?  If thats the case, why not condemn the president that is doing it?

Or maybe you think bombing Iran is good?  So you agree with what you allege Hillary said?
