bowling is a strength sport... strength is related to weight of ball, how fast it can be thrown Demovictory9 Mar 2022 #37

If transgender athletes actually had a physical advantage this would be the norm alphafemale Mar 2022 #25

Truthfully, some people don't care whether she wins or loses. IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #26

There was a trans weight lifter in the Olympics this past year alphafemale Mar 2022 #27

You know what's sickening - besides transphobia? IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #35

What about this post? IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #33

Wedge issue to break our commitment to civil rights. Don't fall for this phobic shit. (Nt) FreepFryer Mar 2022 #32

Fall for it? IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #34

The ones pulling that Nazi wedge issue shit aren't actual Democrats. FreepFryer Mar 2022 #36

Yeah. I've already figured that out IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #39

It's amazingly revealing that the RNC is among the biggest events for trans sex workers. FreepFryer Mar 2022 #43

They hate them because they hate everyone who isn't like them IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #45

"I didn't get to wear women's shoes and not get beaten up, you can't either!" FreepFryer Mar 2022 #46

Well, times have changed... IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #47

That's what triggers them most... they didn't get to do it. Transphobia is deeply selfish. FreepFryer Mar 2022 #48

Any form of bigotry is selfish IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #50

Yep, Because they had those gender feelings too, and felt the repression, and they pay it fwd. FreepFryer Mar 2022 #51

EarlG needs to reinforce what he prohibted in that trans rights OP of his obamanut2012 Mar 2022 #52

I actually freaked out the moment I heard the news IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #54

Perhaps we can PM EarlG and asked for it to be pinned, at least obamanut2012 Mar 2022 #59

This. Need support from those whose support is targeted by this phobia campaign. FreepFryer Mar 2022 #55

It makes me so angry and upset obamanut2012 Mar 2022 #58

Use it :) we were made for these times. These tactics are laughably weak, and justice will prevail. FreepFryer Mar 2022 #61

Trans lives do matter in DU Demovictory9 Mar 2022 #38

I have my doubts.. IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #42

Yup obamanut2012 Mar 2022 #49

it's complicated. women can't compete, physically, against someone who went thru puberty as a male Demovictory9 Mar 2022 #64

I know what the answer isn't IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #65

true. Demovictory9 Mar 2022 #68

When we discuss transgender athletes in the abstract, people get upset Bucky Mar 2022 #56

The issue isn't sports IngridsLittleAngel Mar 2022 #63

Right, but the basic fairness of trans athletes competing in women's sports is the controversy Bucky Mar 2022 #66

We can't have a good faith discussion anymore about how unfair this is. Conservatives ruined it Oneironaut Mar 2022 #67

Yup, GOP tactic. Not fairness, or qualification, or respect. Like Ken Paxton attacking Dr. Levine. FreepFryer Mar 2022 #71

Good for her. WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2022 #72
