Which is why they’re all right when they think the other’s god is shit.

We just mentioned two issues. There are plenty more. You didn’t even ask. You can love the corporate, pro-genocide, anti-trans, wealth protecting guy if you want.

I think that’s closer to maga than my viewpoint. But I understand that we’re easier targets than they are, and you’re really feeling yourself right now

Bonus points for calling my safety a political issue.

And everyone not in the 0.1%

Not to minimize what he did to us, but to show he’s not only problematic for trans people.

I told ya so

Yes, even if the trans woman has a bigger frame from a testosterone puberty.

I appreciate that you brought this up, because it does look like a clear advantage. I understand why people assume it is an advantage. However, what the science has shown, is that it ends up being a slight disadvantage.

Estrogen changes organ function, muscle mass, skin thickness, and many other facets of a human body. It changes these even if you’ve had a testosterone puberty.

So, when a trans woman tries to move those heavier bones, she can not move them as fast as a cis woman, no matter what the trans woman does. Because her heart, lungs, muscle fibers, etc, those parts of her body cannot move the bones as fast any more.

Force = Mass x Velocity

A cis woman can reach a higher velocity in that equation than a trans woman. And so, she has more force. This means that a cis woman can throw a harder punch, she has a faster run, and a stronger tackle.

The trans woman cannot hit as hard, tackle as hard, or run as long or as fast, as a cis woman. This is what the science says and what testing has proven.

Think of it like two people swinging a bat. If one woman has a regular baseball bat, she can hit you hard, and it will hurt quite a lot. If another woman has a bat that is too heavy for her to swing easily, she will not hurt you as much. Even though the bat is heavier, if she can only swing it slowly, it will not hurt as much, and she will get tired of holding and swinging it, much faster.

As for your statement about cheating, what you are suggesting is no different than what cis women who want to cheat already do.

Testosterone is steroids. If a cis woman wants to cheat, she can indeed try as you say and take testosterone long before the event, but stop a few months before they test for steroids. A trans woman can do this to. The only difference is where they get their testosterone.

The same tests that can catch cis women, can catch trans women who cheat this way. Those tests are not perfect, and both women will still sometimes get away with cheating. But this is a problem that sports has, and it is not limited to trans women.

If you quote me directly, you’ll see where you are wrong. I used accurate statistics taken directly from the linked website.

You read both my comment and the website, and yet you still don’t see it, but if you’re genuinely interested in seeing the several places where you misunderstood, I’ll stay here with you putting in work to help you.

Quote what I said and I’m happy to quote you the corresponding part from the linked website.

I mean, people kill people, that’s true. One can still say nuclear weapons are a huge, unreasonable danger though. Just because people kill people in other ways, and did it before nukes, doesn’t change that truth.

It’s the evil.

You can stave off a lot of the evil-look, with money and effort. Once you get to the intimate evil though, like real close, wet work stuff that you want to personally do, it takes its toll.

There are very few people who can withstand what that does to a person’s exterior, and that kind of power will make you far more successful than ole Steve Miller.

If we lived in a world where people really cared about girl’s and women’s sports, and fairness, this would be dealt with using science and logic.

The sex divisions in sports are really “dominant hormone” divisions. So anyone who has started puberty must be divided into the league with which their hormones align.

The studies say that a trans woman who has been at cis female levels of estrogen and testosterone for two years, has no advantage over a cis woman. That’s the criteria. Two years, then good luck.

It’s not hard.

I made a cordial correction to your statement, overall agreeing with your sentiment, and you got aggravated.

You even admitted that you personally made up the statistic you used. Mine have all been directly taken from trusted sources.

You are projecting.

You are having a reading comprehension and retention issue, and you have a lack of understanding for how statistics work.

All the white evangelicals I have known have been the worst people I have ever met. I’ve never met any of their nasty fundamentalist jewish or muslim counterparts in countries they control, but I bet it’s an abrahamic thing.

yhwh just makes everything worse the closer you get to him. The only good followers I’ve ever known ignore like 75% of their religion’s commands.

So you just made up a number that felt good to you, but demanded hard sources from me? I think you have done a fine job of expressing the validity of yourself as a source. Thank you.

You’re doing great.

And yes, you’re right about an advantage if the person wants to play female sports and isn’t estrogen dominant. I’m sorry I didn’t specify. The science says:

No one who has their current testosterone levels above cis female levels should be allowed to play in the women’s league. Full stop. This should apply to anyone playing in any sport after puberty begins. Even a cis woman would have a huge advantage with increased testosterone levels.

Anyone who has had testosterone and estrogen at cis female levels for 2 years, should be allowed to play in any women’s league. They have no advantage no matter how long they lived otherwise.

Sex based segregation for sports is in reality hormone based segregation. Which makes sense because hormones do dramatically affect performance. We should just call them like they are, adjust our criteria based on scientific fact, and move on with our lives.

Idgaf even if you call yourself a man and want to play with the women. If you meet the hormonal criteria (estrogen and testosterone at cis female levels for two years prior to, and the entire time you play) go ahead.

I would include even no contact sports like chess or darts. Hormones effect everything.

You can’t even get a street name changed in America without paying the pedos. You think the Democrats are going to do anything without cracking a few legs?

They’ve got the American people on the boat. There is no land in sight.

Just change “transgirl” to “trans girl”, and “women” to “cis girl”, and you’re mostly good.

The language of oppression creeps into our speech, even when we don’t mean for it to. The way you phrased it at the end carries meaning of “trans girls aren’t real girls and real girls are better”, since you gave trans girls a different noun and gave cis girls the title of (real)women.

Then you said “there are much bigger sources of unfairness out there”, implying that to have a trans person on a cis team is unfair. The science says there is no unfairness.

I certainly wouldn’t have called the whole post transphobic, and I wouldn’t even be commenting this if I thought you actually were. But, since you seen to be genuinely interested in being an ally. There ya go.

Ain’t nobody got deductible money round here! This is going to quickly turn into the pedoiest doctor around setting up shop in the gym a few times a year, with a perfectly legal “show a little pussy for play” stand where all the girls flash gash for a sticker and a lollipop.

He’ll probably get away with “needing more than a glance” too. As I’m sure “woman” is defined in such a way as to require more than labia.

In 2024, an estimated 4 million Americans, representing 1.7% of the voting-age population, will be ineligible to vote.

You are too ignorant to be that smug.

Or is it just racism? Who doesn’t know that Black people are wildly overrepresented in the prison population? Or that Black people overwhelmingly vote Democrat? Those are really basic facts.

The 1.1% you quote, specifically only refers to the non Black population. It’s 5%-10% of the Black population. Which ends up being 2% of the total population of the country. Though it varies wildly from state to state. In some states it is as high as 6% of the total population.

That is by no means insignificant.
