To be honest, this insanity is happening because of feminism. How many times haven't I heard feminists claim that "women and men are equal"? and that's how they "justify" evil things such as aborting kids, promiscuity, affirmative action, etc. They also whine a ton about "equal pay" for men and women; for instance, they want "equal pay" in sports. They are very ignorant and fail to realize that the reason male athletes are paid more than their female counterparts has to do with the fact that men's sports generate a ton more revenues than women's sports! Consider the WNBA! Nobody attends those games! The WNBA wouldn't exist if it weren't for the NBA subsidizing it! Now, I obviously don't agree with "transwomen" competing in women's sports, but all I'm saying is that this absurdity wouldn't be occurring if it weren't because of feminists' illogical rhetoric during the last few decades.

When a passionate person represents many a personal belief about an emotional topic you will never get a logical response how ever good the intent or intention was supposed to be... This literally reminds me with the debate on the bible and Christianity. It is so much harder to fight the idea of something, even if you can prove or disprove it with science.

As a father of a daughter I'm seriously worried about her future where a delusional man's right to live out his fantasy is considered more important than her own right to privacy.

[@katalantra]

As a trans woman myself, I find this whole debate horrifying. I totally get why a woman in a locker room may be uncomfortable around someone with male genitalia down there - I see how this can not only be seen as someone invading someones privacy who is vulnerable, but under the wrong circumstances is totally the case! But let me ask you this: I look like a woman, I dress like a woman, I live the life of a woman, I've had surgeries done, I have natural boobs (no top surgery), a very female statue and even if you did it with me you couldn’t tell that once as a young adult I was seen as a man. Do you still want me to go to the locker room where there are men around who would stare their eyes out at me because it would look so off with me being there - because to them I just look like any other woman - because I am! Do I not have a right for privacy myself?

[@Dojosreview]

@@katalantra I think what it comes down to with the restrooms should be changing the signs from men and women to Dick's and vaginas cuz that seems to be the only way everyone will stay happy.

[@katalantra]

@@Dojosreview In that case I would be worried that some trans guy who hasn’t gotten bottom surgery would be allowed in the woman’s changing room… and I also would be worried about my wife who like me also absolutely passes as a woman, and never got called out in my presence yet, but she doesn’t plan on getting bottom surgery, because she is too worried about complications - and I can totally understand this as in the first 6 months after mine my life was miserable… she also doesn’t experience as much dysphoria about that as I did, I still believe that she too should be allowed to go with me into the woman’s changing room - she is a woman afterall! And people perceive her as one. Things are just not that easy as you can see… and we in the trans community know that! - of course there is bad people among us too, who stain our community, but to exclude those who mean and do no harm because some select few do, is ridiculous! I don’t in any way want to be invalidating a cis woman’s experience with one of those assholes, but I also don’t go around hating on white men because one chased me with a knife and another with an axe when I was still obviously trans - do you see what I mean?

[@boredasf-zy8bj]

​@@katalantrajust stop being mentally ill

[@TheLordDarkrai]

My proposed sollution when working on this very problem was to simply have a seperate bathroom/changing room exclusively reserved for the trans people. I know some trans people would be unhappy with this because they believe themselves to be a fully fledged member of one or another of the 2 sexes, but it seems to me it's the best way to guarantee the privacy of all parties.

Even NPR says there is no fundamental difference between men and women athletes. So there is just two teams. Men’s and Not-Men’s. And someday after girls have learned to train as hard as men they might even be good enough to be in the Men’s team, and then there will be the A-Team and the B-Team, and F-Troop. Riley Gaines is just an over-the-hill has been loser who can’t accept the fact that a dude in a thong trained harder than she did. If Gaines had wanted the gold all she had to do was work harder instead of standing behind the apron strings of “women’s team” and Title 9. Thank g*d there was no women’s team and Title 9 when the United States was trying to put men on the moon. Who knows how many more astronauts and test pilots would have died if we had had that much institutionalized mediocrity. To all of the female athletes out there… you better train harder if you don’t want to be replaced by a dude in a thong. You don’t get a free lunch anymore, being protected by “girls teams” and title 9. Now you have to work as hard as the Men’s teams or every one of you will be replaced by some second-rate mediocre dude with danglees. Now that’s fair. That’s equitable. From now on there will be men’s teams and the not men’s teams. And you girls are just going to have to suck it up and get tough… get Man-Tough or you will be riding the bench.

​@@missmew3499it's even more sinister than that. "Lia Thomas" is an incredibly twisted autogynephile, meaning that he gets sexually aroused at the thought of himself as a woman. He is also dating another biological man with the same vile sexual deviance. He is bringing everyone of these girls into his sexual fantasy in order to take advantage of them and be a creep, and on top of all of this, he also is swimming against women because he was a loser competing against males. "Lia Thomas" is a sick individual.

Even NPR says there is no fundamental difference between men and women athletes. So there is just two teams. Men’s and Not-Men’s. And someday after girls have learned to train as hard as men they might even be good enough to be in the Men’s team, and then there will be the A-Team and the B-Team, and F-Troop. Riley Gaines is just an over-the-hill has been loser who can’t accept the fact that a dude in a thong trained harder than she did. If Gaines had wanted the gold all she had to do was work harder instead of standing behind the apron strings of “women’s team” and Title 9. Thank g*d there was no women’s team and Title 9 when the United States was trying to put men on the moon. Who knows how many more astronauts and test pilots would have died if we had had that much institutionalized mediocrity. To all of the female athletes out there… you better train harder if you don’t want to be replaced by a dude in a thong. You don’t get a free lunch anymore, being protected by “girls teams” and title 9. Now you have to work as hard as the Men’s teams or every one of you will be replaced by some second-rate mediocre dude with danglees. Now that’s fair. That’s equitable. From now on there will be men’s teams and the not men’s teams. And you girls are just going to have to suck it up and get tough… get Man-Tough or you will be riding the bench.

Women will have to stand up to end this craziness. When a biological man shows up at your female sporting event, every woman expected to participate must withdraw from the competition. Refuse to participate. I realize this is a lot to ask of girls in high school and college, as you only have a few years in which to compete, but this needs to happen in order to put an end to this. Also, where are the feminist groups while all of this is happening? Their silence is deafening.

@@frankcaggiano8282nope. If you have XX chromosomes, you are a female/girl/woman. I don’t care how you live your life but I do care when it is shoved down on us because of someone’s feelings. Forcing one’s self into areas like this man forcing himself into women’s sports and the demand we support that decision is proof that he has a mental issue. If he needs the acceptance and affirmation of others, then he obviously is not mentally prepared to live that life. Ultimately, we all have to accept ourselves and realize that the only affirmation we need, comes from within.
