  • Explain your reasoning for why women wouldn’t perform to roughly the same level as everyone else in their performance class.

    Because the entire concept of “performance class” is absolutely stupid. I don’t even know how to argue against it because the entire concept is dumb. Sport is about competition, who is the best etc. Your performance class bullshit would kill that off.

    I know you probably don’t want to hear this, but the biological differences between cis and trans people are irrelevant. Sports were only segregated because men’s precious feelings get hurt when they are bested by women. Forcing trans women to compete against men will cause men to lose to people they don’t recognize as men and thereby create more problems than were solved.

    Actually, sports were segregated because the average women can’t compete with the average man, and a single look into the guiness book of world records would show you that. However, if that’s your world view, I’m sorry, no point in arguing. I’ll still answer the rest, but that’s probably the last thing I’ll answer from you.

    Bans on trans women in chess have been a multi-year scandal for the International Chess Federation.

    I am well aware of that, but it shouldn’t be. Chess is about intellect, not physical prowess, and women are absolutely on the same level as men.

    When did they start segregating e-sports? Last I checked, the big tournaments were all mixed.

    They don’t … because physical prowess is irrelevant.

    Because abandoning fairness to enforce gender testing that will primarily harm cis women by excluding them from competition for having too much natural testostetone like Caster Semenya is better, right?

    Caster Semenya has a condition causing her to have much higher testosterone levels than other women. That has nothing to do with trans people. I do agree that excluding her because of this is unfair.

    Anyways, as I’ve stated above, that’s the last thing I’ll answer as you don’t have any arguments, just feelings and “men bad”. Have a good one!


  • I have never heard this argument come out of someone who doesn’t look like a wet noodle could outclass them in physical ability

    Oh dw about that, I do go to the gym more regularly since covid.

    It’s always a keyboard warrior who hasn’t cooked a meal since the Kraft Mac he made in 9th grade when his parents left him alone one evening and wouldn’t know what the inside of a gym looks like if it weren’t in GTA.

    Oh, you also don’t have to worry about that. I do cook regularly for me and my girlfriend, and mostly healthy stuff, apart from the occasional cream sauce.

    Motherfucker, I knew plenty of cis women who could easily out-class me in physical abilities and I was in the US military

    Okay, very cool. Doesn’t change the fact that men - on average - are physically superior. I also know a few women that could fuck me up, but I know WAY more women that I could fuck up.

    The only people who care what’s in the pants of the enlisted person beside them are pieces of shit who don’t deserve to be there. Focus on your fucking job, and stop fantasizing about their crotch. Not once did I ever wonder what a person was assigned at birth while I was in. They wouldn’t be there if they couldn’t physically do it. Nobody is lowering qualifications of military personnel because the individual is trans.

    You seem to misunderstand me. I never said trans people should not be allowed in the military. I was only arguing against transpeople in SPORTS. Military, the gender should not matter - while I do still think that women are - on average - weaker than men, that should not bar them from serving, because it’s not a competition about who’s the best, unlike in sports.



  • What’s the point of degregating sports by gender?

    Because men outclass women in almost any physical ability, be it strength, speed or endurance. Just look at world records.

    If it’s a matter of performance then they can break sports into performance classes

    Ah yes, let’s make sport less accessible by introducing arbitrary limitations. Do we have basketball up to 1.60m height, then up to 1.70m height, then up to 1.80m height and so on? And do we introduce different tiers within those tiers by only having people up to 1.70m and 60kg, then 1.70 and 70kg …

    You CANT split sport into “performance classes”, at least not in a way where it would help - men would on average still be in the higher “performance class” and nothing would change.

    If it’s a matter of fairness and making space for women in sports, then trans women deserve not to have to play with the boys just like any other woman.

    I know you probably don’t want to hear that, but biologically, trans women aren’t women. They are still physically superior to cis women. That’s why we prefix them with “trans”. Even after extensive hormone therapy, trans women still have some advantages over cis women.

    Nobody has a problem with trans women in non-physical sports. Nobody would bat an eye if there was a trans women in chess. Nobody would care if there was a trans woman in e-sports (we actually had one years ago in league if I remember correctly). But we can’t just abandon fairness for cis women in sport because we want to appease a small number of trans women, and on a physical level (especially before hormone therapy), they still do have an advantage.







  • Honestly, I don’t see a problem with this.

    Some people are just really shit with emotions. Me included. I just got no clue what to say in certain situations. I know that what they do is not an issue, but I just don’t know how to tell them properly.

    Using AI for this is a fair use-case - you want the person to not feel bad, and if AI can give you a better response than you yourself could, why not.





  • Depends a lot honestly - in my experience, there’s two types of landlords.

    1. The person that inherited/bought an apartment, but doesn’t want/can’t live in it right now (because it’s really remote, for example). They often buy these as “retirement homes”, so something they can live in when they no longer work. While they don’t live in it, they rent it to other people. The reason for that often is because their job requires physical presence and renting an apartment near their job is just cheaper if you factor in rent from the bought property.

    2. Large corporations that buy up houses left and right, make a few minor changes that classify as “modernizations” and then jacking up the rent by 33%. Those can go fuck themselves.

    This omnious “landlord” that owns like 10 properties and only lives off of the rent is rare. I know a single person that does that, he inherited a company from his dad, sold it like 30 minutes after he became owner, built 3 houses with 4 apartments each and is now chillin. And I don’t even feel like that’s a “bad” thing, because he has literally built those houses - they would not even exist without him.



  • Have you heard of a concept called trade mate

    Yes. That’s why I have never said that nobody has ever seen one. Just that it’s a rare occasion.

    Also you keep going back to 'black people" like wtf is this discount American eugenics take … But none of this even matters you turned into a race thing

    Because the initial post I responded to was literally “Why he white tho”. I didn’t start the war.

    Bro the religion is middle eastern

    Catholicism is not middle eastern

    the 14th century did a white jesus start coming up in some obscure art and didn’t really take off till the 20th century

    Factually untrue - white jesus has already been a thing in the 4th - 6th century - even tho a lot less common. However, agreed that most depictions of white jesus are from that time - which does not change my point at all. They had no way to quickly travel during the renaissance.

    Tel Aviv wasn’t a thing back then

    No really? Crazy. Do you think ryanair didn’t exist back then either? :o

    It’s almost as if I tried to make funny comparison, not a factual argument.

    I can already tell you’re not at all well versed in this topic

    Classic lemmy.ml L take. I swear you guys are so tiring.
