I'm working on it. Maybe. Well, one day. Like when other Left of centre, anti trump, anti corpo type folks oppose the things I oppose in correct manner and degree, duh.

I am begging liberals to understand that this "trans people in sports issue" is not about sports. It's being pushed with tons of money by far-right groups as a wedge issue and it's not going to stop there. You are doing their work for them. Stop looking at this as some far off, philosophical abstraction and start looking at it in terms of what it is: a war.
First of all, the original thread that caused me the ban was suggesting that all people who were critical of trans people in pro sports were MAGA. I shared my view point in order to disprove that notion. I'm very well aware that there are MAGA people with crazy views who make up crazy scenarios and that's why I mostly don't bother talk about the trans people in sports issue because that is not what is important right now.
All I wanted to do with my original comment, was to show that not everyone who question this specific issue is MAGA and that it is silly to claim so.
Second of all, where did I ever claim to want to take trans people's rights away? Please stop putting words in my mouth.
Third of all, I am not a liberal and I'm not American. You couldn't know that, but not every person on the internet is American nor do they live their lives through the American lens. That is also why lumping people like me in with MAGA is not only stupid, it is also a self report on how limited a scope one has on the nuances of perspectives people can have outside in the world and outside the US.
Do you think trans people should continue to have the right to participate in sports in accordance with the gender they identify as, yes or no?
Where on earth did I imply you're American? Stop putting words in my mouth.
Sure, as long as it is safe for everybody. My main concern is combat sports where I don't know if trans men and biological women wold be safe against an opponent who has been born with male musculature.
That is not the same as me wanting trans people to have no rights at all. It's not black and white.
You called me a liberal. That must mean you're talking through the American lens. You're acting obtuse and aggressive for no reason. I feel no need to converse with you any further.
I wrestle. Wrestlers are wrestlers first. Weight class is more important for safety than gender.
Sports are more fun with similar skill levels for athletes. Separating sports on gender boundaries excludes skilled women from competition against equally skilled men.
And what I said was that you wanted to take away rights, not have trans people have no rights at all.
Lmao, wtf?
