MODERATORS
There's a discussion going on on the Dutch football subreddit about a non binary person playing with a women's team. The team won a match after which their opponent filed a complaint.
I again had some discussion with some nerds who immediately went that trans women should not belong in women's sport with the standard arguments, you know the drill.
The best were the comments from redditors saying they (the NB person) shouldn't be allowed because they might feel like an NB, but biologically they are still a man.
Which brings me to the best part: the person was born a female, wanted to transition to male and then found out they were non binary instead. So, there is absolutely no advantage for them. But Redditors won't even read an article which clearly stated this and instead give their expert advice anyway.
Progressivism has yet to reach the stage were trans men exist within the minds of cis people
A person who was assigned at birth as a female? and IS ALSO TRANS? THE WOKES HAVE GONE TOO FAR, WHAT'S NEXT A BLACK PERSON?
come out, ye black and trans
I want to dispel a myth here. There is generally no advantage for trans women in almost all sports. If you know trans women you know that almost all of us are not athletic at all. And those of us that are have a significantly lower VO2 max than cis women athletes. When trans women are allowed to compete as women we do not see an unusually high win rate and we usually lose. Trans women were mostly allowed to compete in the Olympics for a while and have never won a medal. The whole notion that trans women have a biological advantage in sports is nothing but absurdity and transmisogyny and does not have any basis in reality. And even if we do win, or even do better than last place, people act as if the sky is falling. It is not the end of the world if a woman wins because she had a biological advantage in the biological advantage measuring contests.
