even if bioessentialism was real and all trans women had some inherent advantage over cis women in sports you could not pay me to give a fuck because sports are made up. they are games people play for fun. even though we as a society invented careers around sport it is still boiled down to the fun made up game where you kick a ball. or dribble a ball. or swim in a pool. or show people how fast you can run. it’s for leisure. fun. not serious. who gives a fuck. fun. #mygame⚽️🏀🏈⚾️

[hurlingirl]

Cool, so if this is the case, why have women historically been prevented from competing in multiple sports, especially professionally?

If it's just about fun, what's the uproar about when you're no longer allowed to compete in female divisions? Why is that suddenly this super political thing? Why is that suddenly an attack on your rights and humanity?

If it's just about fun, why can't you have fun with people who are the same sex as you? What's that all about, hm?

Anybody who's genuinely supportive of this viewpoint, yet simultaneously sees trans women being barred from women's sports as a moral crisis HAS to explain this gap in logic to me.

Please do.

[boyimjustaloserforyourlove]

if sports are meaningless and for leisure, fucking go ahead and play for leisure then. DONT INVADE FEMALE ATHELETES SPACES TO RUIN YEARS OF THEIR HARDWORK! Fucking no one is stopping you from gallivanting around a park. Stop participating in competitions and play for leisure then. These people stand for nothing and take everything. Ew.

You know what’s really fucked up

I’ve been standing up for Palestine for years now, literal years, for fucks sake I am a Palestinian, I center Palestinians. And just because I come to a different conclusion than the majority, or I find out about something that was actually really hard for me to come to terms but is true, I have gotten over 30 death threat anons in the last 3 hours, cursing me for:

1. Humanizing Israelis

2. Humanizing Jews

3. Having a conversation with a Jew (that was months ago yet somehow it’s news now)

4. That Jew being Israeli

5. Having a convo with a different Jew

6. That Jew not being Israeli (they actually got mad that a talked to a non Israeli Jew)

7. Calling myself a Palestinian (even though I am one…)

8. Wanting peace

9. Not encouraging the Hezbollah-Israel war BECAUSE I DONT WANT MORE DEATH (and I’m in Lebanon and I swear I’m gonna pass out if I hear about another bomb)

10. Existing

11. Not wanting death in both sides (it’s ok if I don’t want death on the Palestinian but the second I also don’t want death in the Israeli side suddenly I’m a mastermind spy that’s been working against Palestinians since day 1)

I would like to remind everyone:

IM A PALESTINIAN. Just because I’ve had conversations with Israelis, just because I view them as humans deserving of life, just because I genuinely see no problem living side by side with them, just because I don’t want to kill them all.

DOESNT MEAN I SUPPORT WHAT ISRAEL (the government BY THE WAY) DOES. I can criticize a country without actively wanting to mass murder its people, without actively wanting to make their individual lives hell for being born into said country (which they can’t control JUST LIKE I CANT CONTROL BEING BORN INTO A PALESTINIAN FAMILY WITH FAMILY IN GAZA)

For fucks sake please, I beg, leave me alone, please.

[littleabriel-blog]

Hamasniks don't give a shit about Palestinians unless said Palestinians agree that Israel must be destroyed and Jews should be ethnically cleaned from the Levant.

Remember when everyone knew the YouTube CEO by name and blamed her personally for everything wrong with YouTube when the CEO was a woman? And how when she was replaced by a man people didn't do the same to him despite YouTube getting worse and worse? I wonder what the reason for that might be 🤔

[river-grunfeld]

It doesn't really matter if we describe the community as Queer because conservatives will always find us strange and try to kill us.

Also, are you gonna start getting mad about black people reclaiming the n word next?

There's this thing called not contributing. It's like how I don't call women b*c even though if I personally stopped it wouldn't stop misogyny. It's because I don't want to be part of the problem, and let others around me think that it's okay behavior.

I'm not in the black community and have no right to speak for them. But it is a fact that some people in the black community(including people I know) are against black people using the N word as much and in the ways that they do. If they are right or not is an issue for black people to talk about amongst themselves, but I as a white person sure as hell aren't going to start calling them the n-word community even if a random black person said it was okay.

[nicenormalwitch]

It's also worth noting that while the religious fundamentalist branch of american conservatism that gained large amounts of influence in the 80s is typically anti-gay, historically there has actually been a lot of gay conservatism in the US which argued for equal rights based on a small government, pro privacy viewpoint, which are both conservative political stances in the US.

If you want to learn more about the history of gay conservatism in the US I would recommend reading "Coming out Republican: A History of the Gay Right" by Neil J. Young

To say that "conservatives will always find us strange and try to kill us." is factually incorrect. Homophobes find us strange and want to kill us. Many homophobes are Republican and many homophobes are Democrats.

You can argue for gay rights using conservative political stances (like small government and pro privacy) and you can argue against gay rights using progressive political stances (inclusivity against homosexuality I.E. "your club, organization, sexual orientation is bigoted because it doesn't include the opposite sex")

There is no political party or movement immune to homophobia and when you act like there is and it's yours, you open the door to homophobia festering and growing inside your community; so much so that you might reach a point where you and your community are calling homosexuals slurs and telling them to shut up when they tell you to knock it off because you perceive yourself as infallible

we've arrived at "transphobes are all actually fine with trans men". christ help us

[niiwa-angel]

Weird. Feminists support females. Feminism is open to all females. Crazy stuff. Next you'll tell me BLM is for black people.

[prometheist]

Feminism is for humanity

[niiwa-angel]

And who started it? Why did women start the feminist movement? It was because women couldn't vote, own property, open a bank account, access credit, attend higher education, or were even considered full fledged human beings. Women were being beaten and raped, couldn't access healthcare without male present, forcibly impregnated, and sent to asylum.

Feminism isn't for "humanity" it's for women by women. Feminism got women the right to vote, pursue education, divorce, access birth control, own property, and hold office. There are still parts of the world where the female illiteracy rate is almost double the male illiteracy rate because men don't believe in sending their daughters to school. There are parts of the world when infant girls are being killed because their fathers don't want daughters. The BBC just ran an article within the last month about Afghan father's selling their daughters as brides. Feminism is for women and girls.

[prometheist]

So is it for women or “females”?

[niiwa-angel]

It's for women, who are female. Woman and female are synonyms.

[prometheist]

what is your definition of a “female”? In addition, what disqualifies someone who isn’t female from experiencing the kinds of things that feminism advocates against?

[niiwa-angel]

What do you mean "what's my definition of female"? You know it. Everybody knows it. The sex that produces ova. Nobody who isn't female is experiencing female specific oppression. There may be some overlap, or some similarities, but it's never truly the same thing. That's why intersectional feminism exists, because different women will experience different types of oppression. A black woman is going to experience racism and misogyny, making her a victim of both. A black man will experience racism but never misogyny. A white woman will experience misogyny but not racism.

Misogynists know who the women are. Men in Afghanistan aren't humming and hawwing over which child to sell, they sell the girls. Indian and Chinese men aren't looking at their infant daughters going "is this a female? How can I be sure?" Before they kill them. The Taliban isn't chromosome testing to determine which half of the population can't be heard or unaccompanied in public.

This "how do you define female" bullshit is just wasting time. We all know! Millions of years of evolution means we recognize the difference between male and female on instinct. And women have been oppressed based on that noticable distinction for just as long.

[prometheist]

You can recognize the difference between male and female on instinct? so, a fully transitioned trans woman who appears female to you is a woman, by your definition? and a fully transitioned trans man who appears male is not?

[niiwa-angel]

Noooo, because a trans identified male is still a male, no matter how hard he tries to appear as a female, and vice versa. You can still recognize sex on instinct, even when people start using modern technology to change their appearance. The amount of trans identified people who can trick others regarding their sex is very very small, most of them are noticably male or female. A male who has used surgery, cross sex hormones, and make up to make himself look female is still male.

It's called an Innate Perceptional System and it works on pattern recognition. Infants as young as 3 months are able to recognize the differences in sex.

A moment of silence for the trans men who, due to their assigned gender at birth, have been legally banned from speaking in public in areas under Taliban rule.

A moment of silence for the trans men who, due to their assigned gender at birth and religious backgrounds, have been taught that they are forbidden from being anything but broodmares to a man they may or may not consent to marriage or sex with.

A moment of silence for the trans men who died in childbirth from a pregnancy they may or may not have consented to.

A moment of silence for the trans men who dropped out of high school after getting pregnant.

A moment of silence for the trans men who only knew their desire for masculinity, but were beaten to death for it and told they were going to hell.

A moment of silence for the trans men who had their clitorises mutilated by female genital mutilation.

A moment of silence for the trans men who died without ever once getting to wear pants or cut their hair the way they wanted.

A moment of silence for the trans men who committed suicide rather than be seen as a woman anymore.

A moment of silence for the trans men who never were allowed to learn how to read.

A moment of silence for the trans men with perfectly treatable conditions who were allowed to die to avoid violating "modesty" rules.

A moment of silence for the trans men subjected to honor killings.

A moment of silence for the trans men who were murdered by abusive partners.

A moment of silence for the trans men who were subject to "hymen checks."

We remember all of you, past and present.

[niiwa-angel]

My sister in Christ, do you think other women are enjoying those things?!?! The crime here is that these things are being done at all, not that it's happening to the wrong type of female!!
