Ah yes, let’s make sport less accessible by introducing arbitrary limitations.

Where did I suggest that? Are you sure you aren’t hallucinating?

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 …

I said “performance classes” not “height and weight classes”.

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.

Why not? Explain your reasoning for why women wouldn’t perform to roughly the same level as everyone else in their performance class. Bonus points if you can manage to avoid sexism in your explanation.

I know you probably don’t want to hear that, but biologically, trans women aren’t women.

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.

Nobody has a problem with trans women in non-physical sports. Nobody would bat an eye if there was a trans women in chess.

Wow…

You should have just admitted you have no idea what you’re talking about. Bans on trans women in chess have been a multi-year scandal for the International Chess Federation.

Nobody would care if there was a trans woman in e-sports (we actually had one years ago in league if I remember correctly).

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

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.

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?

Cis women have testosterone too, and gender testing might exclude them from women’s sports just like trans women if they have too much.

What’s the point of degregating sports by gender?

If it’s a matter of performance then they can break sports into performance classes, no gender segregation needed.

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.

Literally nobody mentioned Brave New World?

We’ve already got the culture of distraction and the strictly stratified social hierarchy.

My government name is 99% masc, but I only hear it at work and it isn’t worth the hassle of changing it. All my mates and friends just call me “Cat”.

My partners have been calling me “Cat” for years 'cuz my fursona is feline. If I wanted to go through the hassle of changing my government name that’s the one I’d pick, but I’d spell it with a ‘k’.

It’s entirely possible, governments just don’t want to put in the work to prosecute plastic manufacturers.

I’m nonbinary, but most people assume I’m a dude 'cuz my tits are small and my moustache is fancy.

And yeah, I get that we’re rare, but I think long-term, committed polyamorous families would be a lot less rare if our culture didn’t still lionize the nuclear family to the neglect of all other arrangements.

My two boyfriends and I have been an item for over 20 years and we recently added a fourth to our household.

I don’t think monogamous folks should be throwing stones what with the prevalence of serial monogamy in our culture. Obviously trying to commit to one partner is the cause of losing interest for a new lover.

I bet it’d suddenly become very viable if nations started banning non-recyclable plastic packaging.

I don’t need a multi-billion-parameter neural net to know that a multidimensional map of human language use isn’t going to revolutionize society.

I lost 40 without making any new habits other than weighing in daily with an app that estimates my caloric balance over the last two weeks. Turns out that I didn’t need big changes to diet and exercise to get into a persistent decline, though I’ve lost another 15 since starting hormone therapy

Microsoft Recall

The US government has literally been doing that for longer than I’m alive.

Slavery is considered an acceptable form of punishment and our so-called “Justice” system regularly executes innocent people.

I don’t want them dead.

I want them working minimum wage jobs with no benefits.

Wage slavery is just slavery with extra steps.

It’s reversed for me.
