Right... so women are going to start looking like Bill Kazmaier next? And based on your statement, we can assume women will be eclipsing his 2425lb total? You are definitely in liberal la la land. Little dose of reality for you... I wonder if we put a women boxer in front of Tyson in his prime? How long would the fight go for? I'm guessing the first tyson punch and she's KOd
The best solution for trans people and competition - open divisions. An open division will allow ANYONE to compete against anyone else, separated perhaps by age only, or approximate size. Women, men, and trans people would all be subject to competing against each other.
You know, you can just admit if you don’t understand sarcasm. I don’t think anyone here will think you’re stupid.
Try using the N word with a degree of sarcasm. See if that gets you off the hook with your leftist friends.
Is there such a thing as "paranoid schizophrenic rights"? And if not, what makes you think there's such a thing as "transgender rights"?
Some athletes are born with exceptional physical attributes. Some just work hard and have the right state of mind.
I tend to be kind and treat people with respect - until I really know them and they show they don't deserve my respect - but, as a general point I believe this trans thing is a choice born from some mental health issue. Does that mean I would behave towards a person in transit in a bad way? of course not. I simply do not want every sentence and word and action prefixed with - "AS A TRANSGENDER PERSON I .................." or having their chosen way imposed upon me, such as Toilets and places which were/are normally designated Male/Female. in UK we had, recently, Trans, crossdresser men to women teaching (indoctrinating) young children at school, authorised by the authority. This has to stop. My child would be removed from the school immediately.
I get your point on boxing however, technique/skill in the art of boxing can win against any person of lesser skill, regardless of their gender. A tiny Featherweight will KO a big strong person of lesser ability because of ability in throwing a punch. Just saying LOL I agree with your premise. I don't understand the lack of self-respect from real female athletes who continue to take part in a race when it is 99% guaranteed they will finish behind a trans who is a man. I would not take part.
You can’t even use the N-word, god that feels childish, in discussion of the N-word with most people. Some words just don’t fly no matter how you use them. Colored doesn’t cut quite so deep.
Do you believe you would have any more right to discriminate against one versus the other? I acknowledge that transgenderism is likely the result of gender dysphoria, which is a mental disorder, but resulting transgenderism is not. It’s a treatment. I’m also for the rights of recovering addicts just in case that last part got your ticker-tockin’.
Except oddly enough, they aren't beating the piss out of anyone are they? Meanwhile this guy broke Tamika Brents skull. Tamika is a conditioned fighter and she said: "I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because she was born a man or not because I’m not a doctor. I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right… I still disagree with Fox fighting. Any other job or career I say have a go at it, but when it comes to a combat sport I think it just isn’t fair." Someone said women are not at a disadvantage? smh...
Here's what you said earlier..... Best have them coloreds in their own events while we’re at it, eh? So this is an example that shouldn't be overlooked. Mark Twain used the N=word in the book "Huckleberry Finn". It has been banned in most schools and liberal education centers. You're right, it is childish we shouldn't say it. I'm not so sure I wouldn't be reported and chastised here on this forum for saying it. However, Black Rappers and comedians throw it around all the time.j Why do they get away with it? Because they have a certain "Black Privilege". In liberal circles, most scholars find what you said every bit as offensive even though you defend yourself saying it was used in a spirit of sarcasm. Yet Mark Twain used the N-word to convey a time in history when it was used freely. You seem to feel you are excused however because you are a partner to the left and anything goes with certain elite groups, you are privileged also. It is also hypocritical that you seem to acknowledge "coloreds" is offensive yet "it doesn't cut quite so deep". I say all this because I am fed up to here with hypocritical thought police and how they want to apply certain rules to others that they feel don't apply to them. Now I go back full circle and explain how all this applies to this particular thread. We have discussed race to a degree and how certain words are viewed as having "racial overtones"....they certainly do. God has created us with a variety of skin colors and that should be viewed as a positive. It shows we are all different and unique. Human nature turns that around often to make a negative out of it. We have no decision in our skin color. God also created us male and female. To see it otherwise is a mental perversion. We can take drugs, mutilate our bodies, but the sex we were created as will always have it's sign. How can you try and convince the public this is the same as the race you were born with? Sure....you might try to use the term "hermaphrodite " to confuse the issue but that is separate and extremely rare. What this thread addresses is a mental deviance and an elitist attempt to excuse it, confuse the gender, and integrate it into normal gender related activity. That confusion puts those pursuing their normal gender related activity at an extreme disadvantage. Social education has gone haywire. It is actually an elitist attempt at social engineering. I view these thought processes as repugnant and an attempt to consolidate elitists and promote them as "thought police" in their smug little elitist empire. I'm done ranting.
Sorry...I disagree on this one point. A feather weight does not have the mass to deliver a KO blow to a much much larger trained fighter whose mass can absorb that blow. This old "Bruce Lee" philosophy only applies to fantasy after a certain extent.
I'm glad at least you acknowledge that. Instead of what you propose I would suggest they treat the "root Cause' INSTEAD OF PLACATING THE SYMPTOMS.
A big person of the same ability will beat a small person most every time, that's a general dictum, but that woman could beat the crap out of 90% of men, and the other 10% are going to be smart enough not to fight her..
Pretty sweet rant you’ve got there. I’m on your side as far as thought policing goes. I’m no fan. When it comes to language, I’ll use what I feel helps best convey my point. I have no intention of being hurtful, provocative maybe. If someone tells me my language causes them distress I’ll be happy to hear them out, but the final decision of how I speak is mine. The hysterics of people aligned with me on one topic or another is not my concern, nor my responsibility. To the point of this thread and the rest of your post, I agree that trans women participating in women’s competitive events presents a unique challenge. I just also believe it is far too limited a problem to claim we have enough data on the topic to claim we have a solid solution at this time. Feel like case-by-case is the way to go at the moment. You should make a thread on the first half of your rant. I think it would at the least be a lively discussion.
