@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest you are wrong in saying that, yes. because sports are a lot more complicated than single metrics, and elite athletes are - shockingly - not average people.
the purpose of gender segregation in sports is not to protect women, it is to protect men from having to suffer the emotional suffering of losing to a woman. and in sports where physical characteristics like that do matter, like wrestling for example, we already have a solution for that; which is things like weight classes. take the physical characteristic that actually matters and divide people based upon that! easy.
@kim@linfan.moe@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest@arcana@fedi.layer02.net and my point is we should abolish the sex-based segregation entirely. allowing everyone to participate equally is what matters; winning is not something anyone should feel entitled to. remember that such systems are created to protect men's egos from realizing a woman is better than them at something
the part that gets me the most about the "fairness in women's sports" stuff is that it assumes women are inherently inferior to men. okay so you're just misogynistic got it, let's move on to something that actually matters
if you ever feel the urge to divide lgbt people up into the "good queers" and the "bad queers" in literally any way for literally anything, you need to kill the cop in your head
@error420@fuzzies.wtf i think this is the first post i've ever seen on here that i can confidently say i am not in the target audience of in any way. great job!
@cwebber@social.coop I'm just specifically tired of a certain genre of smug european who simply thinks anyone who hasn't left the US already either wants Trump to continue, or should be blamed for not leaving sooner, TBH.
some of us are broke, some of us are disabled, some of us would rather fight for as long as we can instead of running at the first sight of discomfort
"if you have an X on your passport and you leave the US they might not let you back in" trust me if i leave the US i will be doing so with a plan to never have to come back
trump failed to take the oath until after noon had passed, and he did not place his hand on the bible. therefore he is not TRULY the president - the Deep State doesn't want you to know this!!!
the best part about Elon Musk being so rich and sheltered that he never learned to mask his autism is that i learn what people think about autistic people from how they talk about Elon Musk
