We want UBI.
We don't mind being taxed.
We want to give everyone a free abortion!
Boxer loses fight, conservatives pretend to care about women or womens’ sports and lose their minds. Same song, different day.
Imagine. All the horrible, tragic, and important things happening in the world and what you all choose to (pretend to) care about is the chromosomal makeup of Olympic boxers.
Also the boxer isn't even trans. The article says she grew up female and her parents discouraged her from getting into boxing as a kid because it was seen as a masculine sport. It seems like she only discovered she has a Y chromosome once she joined a boxing league that checked the chromosomes of boxers. The Olympics don't have rules regarding chromosomes of athletes so she's allowed to compete.
Anything thing to deflect attention away from their geriatric convicted felon candidate and his project 2025.
why are you so scared of project 2025? have you even read it?
Cause it’s a weird little fascist manual written by weird old white men with weird ideas leading the weird little party of creeps. The whole thing is unnerving, odd, and creepy. Yuck. Buncha fucking weirdos.
Summarize its contents?
I’m not here to debate you about your weird plans. I’m here to mock them for being bad. No one has to dance when you start playing music. If you don’t know what’s in your own party’s playbook, go google it instead of asking strangers about what they are.
what's so weird about it?
and did you read it?
Woah hold on. I have been informed Angela Carini has 5 fights under her belt. How is somebody with 5 fights in the Olympics? That's why she lost, she had no business being there. This has nothing to do with gender or sex, it was about experience and skill.
This circles back to why we sexual sports leagues to being with.
If a xy athlete has a statistical advantage over a xx athlete, do we care?
If we don't care then we setup one league regardless of genders.
If we do care, then we segment the groups and have multiple leagues.
the IOC is going to have to come out with a clear mission statement and define the purpose of their parallel leagues. I think there will be lots of debate as people are mixing gender identity vs chromosomes and developmental hormones. I don't envy the IOC officials
I feel like their plan is to just keep avoiding the discussion until something bad happens or we hit a flashpoint moment of some sort, and that's going to be bad for everyone except the IOC because they can say they were 'forced to take action' and wash their hands of it.
I hate where we're at but I get their reasoning, I don't see any fair solution here, they're all unfair.
I do kind of respect their approach. We're just going to go by what's on the passport.
Kind of kicking in the can, but let other countries work it out
The reason for women's leagues is to encourage women to join and enjoy the sport. Hard to enjoy a sport when the opponents demolish you every time. Thus, women's leagues are closed to men, but men's leagues are open to women.
