I'm just picturing that robot from Star Trek (the one thinking about "this sentence is false") going "huh" and then blowing up........

It's intentional and pointing out the absurdness of what the TERFs are saying.

Oooooohhhhhhh I see I get it now

Is the testosterone in the room with you right now?

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 27 points 7 months ago

Never, yes. But vagina testosterone tho

[–] Skoobie@sh.itjust.works 40 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Degender most sports and separate by weight class. Perfect? No. Solves this idiotic mess of a worldwide scandal? Yes.

Now, about all the doping from Russia and China.....

This doesn't work as out of a man and woman of the same weight the man will still be stronger on average. Women have a higher body fat percentage, and less muscle in their upper body simply because they have less testosterone. You would probably have to use testosterone as a way of categorizing people in sport. It sucks but there is no other fair way I can see.

I literally said it wasn't a perfect solution, just that it would solve these silly gender scandals. I stand by it.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 9 points 7 months ago

It would solve one gender scandal. The next one would be people complaining that there are no women in sports anymore.

And then we'd circle back around and have to segregate the genders in sports to give women a chance to compete.

And then when a woman stands out in her field, they'd start accusing her again of being a man.

A little late, but I think I have a reasonable solution to the genderless weight class classification.
Measuring the hit force of athletes for sports like boxing could work. Not sure how viable that is in real world applications, with human nature and all, but it seems reasonable to me. If the issue is men on average hit harder than women of similar builds, why not just classify by hit force instead?

[–] Pelicanen@sopuli.xyz 7 points 7 months ago

Even with the same muscle mass, it appears men might be stronger in the upper body compared to women ("A Comparison between Male and Female Athletes in Relative Strength and Power Performances", Sandro Bartolomei, et al. ) so I'm not sure checking for any one single variable would make things fair.

I think it's more a reductio ad absurdum.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 30 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

There is zero chance it is satire. No chance at all. No possible way it could be satire. Zilch, zero, zip.

Unpossible.

It's more common than you'd think!

Wow, it's almost like trying to measure and codify man- and womanhood is inherently dangerous and phobic, even to cisgendered people who don't meet the nebulous standards set by bigots who are obsessed with other people's genitals, and we should maybe just stop doing that and let people identify themselves however they want?

Just a thought.

Babyslime is the woman who decided to have no prenatal care at all for her second pregnancy, and delivered a baby with mermaid syndrome (sirenomelia) which is linked to uncontrolled maternal gestational diabetes, and when the baby was breech and she was in labour at like 28 weeks, the obstetrician told her he had to do a C section, and she spent the rest of her time on her blog claiming she was medically raped or birth raped. She is a shitty person.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

But she just reblogged Teaboot. Did Teaboot do anything awful that can be used to invalidate the point being made here?

That's okay. Just make something up. That's what callout culture largely is anyways, people spreading rumors about people they don't like.
