It started as isolated incidents, but it is now a huge issue because the current wave of people identifying as trans has all the makings of a social contagion and it's spreading like wildfire.
With things like these you have to stop them before they become a massive problem. Why wait until it becomes a gigantic issue when it's clear that it will already?
Nice way to just throw insults without addressing the actual post.
Still here caring I see.
😂 So because you like what Oliver says, his "team" have given him all the absolute undeniable evidence to support his points, but Joe Rogan is just goofing around and hasn't got a team or done any research or anything at all.
You're the democrat propaganda machines favourite.
What you're describing would very, very quickly end up with essentially what we have now - mens and womens sports. The men would be in all the top ones, and the women would all be in the bottom ones, with the trans women at the top of the womens ones at the lowest, with many much higher since they have the physical ability to compete with men.
Did you know that there is no rule stating that all NBA players have to be male? Same with the NFL. Same with the NHL. Same with almost every professional sporting competition in the world that is thought to be a "male" competition. When you understand why you've never seen a single female compete in any of those competitions, and notice that some of those have their own separate "female only" competitions, maybe you'll have a lightbulb moment.
Yet here you are, thinking about it and telling people off.
Believe it or not, human beings can think about and care about lots of different things concurrently.
It's John Oliver, a "progressive" shill (who is supposed to be a comedian lol) who is just a propaganda mouthpiece. If I posted a video of Joe Rogan talking about trans women and all the physical advantages they retain forever would you watch it and think it's a good source? Somehow I don't think so. Being "clear and concise" doesn't change the fact that he's a biased bullshit artist.
After 2 years HRT, any advantages a trans woman may have had are statistically gone.
Does HRT shrink your height? Reduce your lung capacity? Shrink your arms? Change your bone structure? Muscle density?
Nope! Does none of that, and those are only 4 of the obvious differences between men and women that give men physical advantages.
You guys don't seem to understand that the effects of testosterone and other things don't just disappear when you no longer produce testosterone. If you give a 25 year old man testosterone blockers, does he shrink and revert back to a 10 year old boys size and physical stature? No.
It’s obvious you don’t actually have a researched opinion since you just used the wrong term for a trans woman (they said trans men, in case they edit it).
Where?
edit: oh I see, you think that because I said this:
You don’t see how this is a problem with trans men competing against women?
It invalidates my entire opinion? Replace "men" with "women" since it's clear what I'm talking about, as I have used the term trans women to refer to MtF trans people many, many times in these comments. Come on mate, grow up.
You seem to, once again, be ignoring that on top of the decrease from transitioning, they are still a human being, and thus age and practice like any other human being. From sophomore year to their redshirt senior year, they grew, trained, etc. like any athlete. Expecting them to just drop 15% or whatever from their sophomore time and never improve from that is completely idiotic.
I didn't ignore any of that lol. You're missing the point. Again - 500th ranked male time is faster than all female times. Post "transition", still faster than all females. Went from a "bad" mens swimmer to the best womens swimmer while swimming basically the same times as pre-transition. There's nothing to say that even if Lia didn't "transition" that he would have improved his times.
What a ridiculous thing to say. People have been able to look at another person forever and correctly say what sex they are and be right 99.9999999% of the time. The only times people were wrong were when they had a very specific DSD. Those people are the exception to the rule of being able to tell sex simply by looking.
You're basically saying that what someone is biologically is irrelevant, what they look like is what determines their sex. That is so incredibly sexist that it's hard to even believe anyone could believe it, yet here you are.
