Athletes are adults ... and they have a right to do with their body what they wish - my body, my choice; your body, your choice, ... And no government, no paternalistic sports federation, should be making those decisions for athletes
Except for living as their gender dictates apparently, as:
According to D'Souza, athletes should also be categorised based on their chromosomal sex.
That said, if I understand this correctly, they are basically making, letting and forcing (select the one you like) trans men to compete in women's sports.
Take this with a grain of salt, but at least bodybuilding is a somewhat open league. No one who is a somewhat professional lifter is clean and everyone knows that. I dont know if or how they test, but I guess if you would do it properly every single person would fail.
My understanding is that most professional sports are technically open to all genders, they just don't hire female athletes generally.
I looked at the top four professional sports organizations in America: the NHL, NFL, MLB, and the NBA.
None of them prohibit women from playing. No woman has ever been drafted in the MLB or NFL, but the NBA did draft one woman who didnt end up playing, and the NHL had one woman play a preseason game.
Edit: did you mean an exclusive league rather than an inclusive one?
Idk why you are getting criticised. Maybe its for your suggestion to exclude trans people from the leagues of their gender and by not allowing them to play at all, since there are not enough trans athletes to form a whole league. Also, how the fuck should this work? Are trans men and women playing in the same league? That's unfair due to transmens taking testosterone and therefore having advantages.
Your suggestion also feeds the dumb narrative, that trans women are somehow automatically better in sports simply because of their AGAB, which simply isnt true.
Those people's position is that Harris was too liberal. Not voting out of spite for the Dems was stupid, but let's at least get their position correct.
Middle school energy in one image 😅 — easiest upgrade is: don’t body-shame, just roast the attitude. “Confidence isn’t measured in inches; it’s measured in not being a jerk.”
I don’t really understand what you’re saying. If you look at polling, most women do not prefer a larger penis, At least historically. This might be changing since I haven’t checked in the last 7-8 years.
that whole scene coalesced around edgy memes and their eponymous lords used that as a launching point for all that kind of nonsense. It is so much better if we actively choose to fight it when history tries to repeat itself. Maybe if a few more people had shouted down those chucklefucks back then we could still enjoy edgelord memes ironically today.
I'm all down for a post post modern retro future meme revival.
The joke is that this speech, imo tastefully read in the voice of a sinister anime villain, is an utterly ridiculous thing for a person to say. It doesn't even make sense, really. That's why it's funny, it's funny that it doesn't make any sense.
I would know. This saying things that almost make sense kinda but really, really don't thing is, like, my whole brand. It's damn near the only joke I tell.
I once boasted to a friend of mine "my pussy is huge. Cavernous, even. I could fit a hundred cigarettes in there." Now, a vagina? Cigarettes? Disgusting! Why would I say that? Because measuring a vagina's diameter in how many cigarettes it can, I dunno, smoke at once? is absurd. It's ridiculous. It doesn't even make sense, really.
Criticizing women. Not that women should be free from criticism, but take this exact same meme without the "what hypocrisy" at the end. Is it less funny? Is that adding anything other than pathos for incels reading it?
There's also the comment section. At the time I commented, two of the ten top level comments were saying to insult the woman's vagina, and they were both upvoted. That kind of masturbatory five-minutes-of-hate directed at a hypothetical woman is pure incel shit.
She's not real. This didn't happen. That means whatever emotional reaction they're having was just inside them waiting to come out. Incel shit.
transitive + intransitive.
vulgar.

I've tried bringing up these complicated issues in the spaces we are encouraged to talk about them (.db0) and was banned for not complaining about the same things the mods cared about.
Every week i contribute less to this space, i really wanted to support a reddit alternative, but this place doesn't look like it will be much different.

No you were banned for transphobia and a ableism you sack of shit liar. Not much I expected from the person who repeated her favorite lies while never giving an answer or evidence.
You hate leftists more than fascists. No wonder you're not liking this place. You're not allowed to get away saying hate speech and think that's a moral failure of the user base.

Hope you never come back, 4 months later and no one here misses you. Get bent you piece of shit.
pretty sure redditors who 1. have disproportionately been banned from reddit for some reason or another and 2. feel some sense of victimization and seeks anti-reddit solidarity on Lemmy are going to have significant overlap with incels and misogynists. Lemmy has overwhelming millennial tech bro vibes ime.

Knew a girl whos ex was one of those guys always bragging about his size. After they broke up, she claimed he had a micropenis, smaller than her clit, and that his nickname, TC stood for 'Tiny Cock'
So how many get into a pissing contest with their trans partner?
Women’s sport enjoyers would argue otherwise
they don't know jack shit about hormones and muscles. Let them cry.
edit: I know several AFABs with higher testosterone than me, before hrt
Why not just have a trans or open league for sports?
an "open league" would be wild

Yes, most "men's" leagues allow women, and by that extent trans women.
Women's sports were created for the sole purpose of giving women a chance to actually win competitions in sports where men have a big advantage
I don't have any objections to that
Why not have a negro league?
Not sure why you are getting down voted.
Neither am I it was a genuine suggestion. People are obviously easily tilted. Someone even tried to criticise the size on my penis 😂

Honestly, what can we expect from a site where bunch of people let Trump win because Harris was not liberal enough?
Those people's position is that Harris was too liberal. Not voting out of spite for the Dems was stupid, but let's at least get their position correct.
"Womens sport enjoyers" that never watched a game and didnt even know there were womens sport events until they realized trans people participate too
"Women's sport enjoyers" lol
As if the vast majority of people complaining about trans women in sports aren't the same people who shit over women's leagues for being "inferior"
Post hog, loser, I bet my girldick is bigger than yours
Doubt it lmao
Am I as a Transgirl allowed to roast guys for their size, since mine is clearly bigger? /s
Yes. I dont see why not.
I mean they say it's not the size but how you use it... But who am I to judge? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
well they started it.
Only if you top and they're into a bit of lighthearted degradation ;) /hj
Nah, i ain't going to top.
Entirely fair, as long as everyone's having fun I'm not one to pass judgement either way
Please continue…
Not with that attitude
"never ...doomed ...fail"
That's fucking QUITTER TALK.
Now you bend over and you take that monster cock in that arse or so help me!!
That post-Thanksgiving deuce would like a word.
The human anus can stretch enough to fit an adult raccoon inside. Do with that information as you wish
Dang dude, this guy's tiny...
Well, she's probably seen more of them than you.
I believe it.
Potential response: And I can’t bake a cupcake but I’ve eaten enough to know which ones are shitty.
"Well it's not as big as you"

What’s wrong with having a small penis?
How are you going to make guys feel inadequate then?
I mean sure, you could go for hair but most young guys still got it....
And going for height only works on some guys, obviously.
Naah we gonna have to keep this one.
I don’t really understand what you’re saying. If you look at polling, most women do not prefer a larger penis, At least historically. This might be changing since I haven’t checked in the last 7-8 years.
Just joking a bit. A women is not going to choose a man based on the size, so I feel like we can joke a bit about it. :)
Well, not the first time at least...
Oh in terms of using it as mockery? Now I understand. That went over my head.
Yeah its a bit hard to get that kind of humor across in text. But it was meant to be a bit funny. :)
That they'll sell you big trucks only, forever. You can never own a practical, small car 😢
A travesty!
Hey now, some girls can compare herses for proof
Ugh. Ugh to this post, and ugh to the comment section.
I thought we left this incel shit behind on reddit.
It's a shit post, don't take it seriously.
As an elder of the Internet, I can attest that this is exactly how that shit started. Still a fitting shit post though.
Okay leave
Why?
Well, someone made a joke about about genitals and now that mean we are on storefront now apparently.
that whole scene coalesced around edgy memes and their eponymous lords used that as a launching point for all that kind of nonsense. It is so much better if we actively choose to fight it when history tries to repeat itself. Maybe if a few more people had shouted down those chucklefucks back then we could still enjoy edgelord memes ironically today.
I'm all down for a post post modern retro future meme revival.
how is this even edgy?
Don't take my comment so seriously.
I kind of considered it a joke and not serious in any context at all?
Can you explain the joke?
The joke is that this speech, imo tastefully read in the voice of a sinister anime villain, is an utterly ridiculous thing for a person to say. It doesn't even make sense, really. That's why it's funny, it's funny that it doesn't make any sense.

Because measuring a vagina's diameter in how many cigarettes it can, I dunno, smoke at once? is absurd. It's ridiculous. It doesn't even make sense, really.
How is this incel shit?
Pervasive sense of victimhood.
Criticizing women. Not that women should be free from criticism, but take this exact same meme without the "what hypocrisy" at the end. Is it less funny? Is that adding anything other than pathos for incels reading it?

She's not real. This didn't happen. That means whatever emotional reaction they're having was just inside them waiting to come out. Incel shit.
If she is not real why are you bitching?
Why are you defending incel shit?
How is it incel shit?
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shitpost
Right. It's provocative because incel shit is widely disliked. We're saying the same thing.
This is the type of attitude that ruined reddit. (She's not reading this bro)
I think Lemmy will be a good lesson for why reddit turned out how it did, feels like the beginning of a familiar cycle
yeah, I got downvoted for backing up a person who pointed that out.
I've tried bringing up these complicated issues in the spaces we are encouraged to talk about them (.db0) and was banned for not complaining about the same things the mods cared about.
Every week i contribute less to this space, i really wanted to support a reddit alternative, but this place doesn't look like it will be much different.
Well, I promise disengaging isn't going to make anything better. Let's see how far this federated rabbit hole goes.
I have tried for over a year now to make this space enjoyable, and I'm kinda done.
Every time I open this app there's some random redditor shitting on every post and comment I make in good faith.
This is a negative dopamine loop app. The only enjoyable part of it is trolling the peanut gallery.
And as long as I can get positive dopamine loops from other social media then lemmy is just inferior as a place to spend time.
Honestly, an excellent choice.
No you were banned for transphobia and a ableism you sack of shit liar. Not much I expected from the person who repeated her favorite lies while never giving an answer or evidence.

But you can see it unaided, that's something, right?
Knew a girl whos ex was one of those guys always bragging about his size. After they broke up, she claimed he had a micropenis, smaller than her clit, and that his nickname, TC stood for 'Tiny Cock'
Oh yeah cause exes are so reliable and never make shit up
just tell her that her pussy looks ugly.
shit on me? shit on you!
Now now, don't insult people about things they can't change. Insult her weight instead.
You guys suck. Tell her you're attracted to her mom.
Or sister. Or brother I guess.
Refer to her mom as her twin.
Naah, it is your vagina which is too wide.
"Loose like sleeve of wizard."
