Testing federation

Hello kbin.social. I’m trying to post to !haskell from a totally different federation so I don’t need an account on every instance. Let’s see if it works.

Respectable debate time on women’s sports
  • undefined> But I ask you this: how many actual cases of a trans woman athlete affecting the outcome of some sporting event can you cite off the top of your head?

    Utterly irrelevant. Most things don't affect many people. This is destroying women's careers for no benefit and it needs to stop. Trans athletes can compete in Mens/Open leagues right now. They don't want equal rights, they want special rights.

  • What do human rights have to do with anything? You don't have any right to be on any team. You have to earn that privilege. Women's leagues are restricted leagues, based on biology. Biological males do not have the privilege to compete in these leagues: trans or not.

  • People always rush to say how RARE this problem is. Serial killers are also pretty rare, so what? There are women who worked their butts off chasing a dream and right on the cusp of achieving it a mediocre male athletic decides they were really a woman the whole time and comes in and destroys those dreams. If that happens even once it's too much.

    Women's league is a restricted league so only biological females should be competing there. "Men's league" is actually just an open league, you can be a biological female and compete there if you're good enough. Trans people can compete there without issue.

    As for people who want to make this about rights: being part of a restricted league is no kind of right. If you're going to go that route then why don't we just go all the way and force sports teams to take overweight, out of shape people too? Wouldn't they have those same rights?
