Shitstorm threads like these (and Lia Thomas seems to be the chosen punching bag of 2022) do a fine job of revealing who the true Democrats are here, and who are the ones who seem to like Greg Abbott more than they like Gavin Newsom. Because some of us can clearly see which DUers would gladly serve up the trans community to the Republicans, or just flat-out hate them.

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

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
