I get soft on liberals, then I see them defend shit like this
America needs to be bombed to ash, and then occupied for a thousand years until no one even remembers it.

A wise man once said: "Don't trust the liberals, they will betray you."
Look, this is COMPLICATED! What if a cis girl gets a scholarship instead of my daughter and I don’t have any legal mechanisms to falsely accuse her of cheating?
yeah, it's a complicated issue when you're implementing mandatory penis inspections. very simple non-issue if you don't do mandatory penis inspections. even more of a non-issue if sports scholarships were completely unnecessary for obtaining an affordable education
"It is a complicated issue. It is truly a complicated issue, with a wide range of views, truly a wide range of views," Jean-Pierre said

The only reason why anyone cares is because everyone thinks their little Johnny is going to get a sports scholarship, and somehow a trans athlete is taking that away from them. It's yet again another false zero sum situation, where we have yet again pitted groups against each other instead of asking why a college athletic scholarship is the difference between succeeding and failing in this broken system.
If you took the money aspect out of all of this, it just leave only the true transphobes. Like, does anyone get pissed if a trans person gets a perfect score on the SATs? No. Because we all love meritocracy (supposedly). So, this is the only place where transphobia is being tolerated.
EDIT: There will always be transphobes, but I'm saying the people that are reachable (maybe), this is the stupid argument they reach for, so why not interrogate why that argument is even being treated as an argument instead of being correctly identified as just being transphobia with extra layers. Make college free
Can we get that one trans liberal who was constantly saying shit about how great the democrats are for our trans rights?
can you wait to have rights? The Most Important Election Of Our Lifetime™️is coming up and we can’t afford to lose the transphobes
This sports transphobia is mostly directed at trans girls/femme/women, right?
Are they doing this shit to AFAB people in men's sports?
Regardless all this discourse is wrapped up in misogyny too, implying that people AFAB are always going to be worse at sports.
And it doesn't take into account the general unfairness in sports. Some people are born into wealthy families who can afford to feed their kids, get them healthcare, and train them into sports.
It's all the talking points about affirmative action, just in a different font.
yes. You will notice though that the primary direction of transphobic rhetoric is aimed at trans women and not trans men. this is a result of misogyny at its core. this is part of the phenomenon of transmisogyny, the intersection of misogyny and transphobia
Yes, trans men are being forced to compete against women against their will. They never cared about fairness, it's entirely about hurting trans people.
Wow! I love having my continued existence being labelled “complicated” by people in high elected offices.
Because? Are we pretending every trans athlete is Lebron James now
Lol I also know where this argument is going
So when do we start testing the levels of all athletes? When do we start banning physically taller people as well? That’s the only way to ensure the fairness you’re concern trolling about, right?
