Yes, it's fucking terrible.
The audience who watched that is self-selected.
I mean, just implying someone is the kind of person who would like Ladyballers is probably a vicious insult to that person.

 

[Fun For All]

Really thou...why does anybody give a fuck what Martina says about anything?

 

[onomatopoeia]

You misunderstand.
You pointed people to Ladyballers, which is fucking terrible.

Why do you hate everyone here?

The Lady Ballers link is in reply to this post, and he gave me a Like.

I don't know where you get hate from this. Just because people don't share YOUR opinions doesn't empirically mean that they 'think wrong'.

I think you should explain the smiley face emoticon at the end of your post, (you used it in #85 and #87). I've never considered you to be funny, (at least, not in the humourous sense), and I may be misinterpreting your intent, but this comes across as passive-aggressive 'small dick' stuff, similar to the guy who says 'Hey asshole. Just kidding'.

yada, yada...Since the right doesn't actually care about women's sports, there is no way to answer it. ... yada, yada

This was not a 'non-issue' for many of the 45% of women who voted for Trump.

Really thou...why does anybody give a fuck what Martina says about anything?

Because when it comes to women's sports through her experience at the highest level she's an authority.

She hates Trump and the Republicans so no one can accuse her of being partisan here.

Clearly your post is incorrect and why do I get the feeling that just like your opinions a few years ago on Joe Rogan

You have never watched the movie.

I put the smiley face to show it isn't an attack on you.
It's me just laughing because "watch ladyballers" is such a mean thing to do to someone.

I thought your response to Bucktee was very funny.
He asked about it and you pointed to an absolutely awful film as an answer.
It's a great joke.

That you don't appreciate the humour of me pointing out that it is also mean to ask him to watch something so awful is fine.
Humour is subjective.

You seem wildly defensive about me agreeing you were funny, though.

I said "the right doesn't care about women's sports".

Your chart doesn't refute that.

Most of the people voting on this don't care about women's sports.
Hell, one of the most obvious take aways from the film Lady Ballers is that the people obsessed with this don't care about women's sports.

None of which contradicts my point about it being a self-selected audience, but rather reinforces it.

It's nice for you to be so confidently wrong.

Canadian Trans-Identified Male Who Raped, Tortured, and Killed 13 Year-Old Girl Threatened Female Inmates While In Women’s Prison



Reduxx has learned that a sadistic killer who is serving a life sentence for brutally raping and torturing a 13 year-old girl was transferred in to a women’s prison in Canada before being removed to an unknown detention center. While incarcerated at Grand Valley Institution (GVI) in Ontario, Michael Williams, who identifies as transgender and calls himself Bunny Autumn Colasimone, immediately began threatening female inmates and had to be removed within days as a result.

Heather Mason, an advocate for the rights of incarcerated women, learned about the situation after she was contacted by female inmates currently housed at GVI. Mason is a founding member of Canadian Women’s Sex-Based Rights, a non-partisan coalition of women working to advocate for single-sex spaces and sex-based rights. She also sits on the board of directors for Strength in Sisterhood (SIS), a group of women who have survived prison and are working to end female incarceration. Mason has been a vocal advocate against the transfer of men to women’s institutions.

Female inmates at GVI told Mason that Williams arrived at the women’s facility on March 6, having been transferred from maximum-security Millhaven Penitentiary for male offenders.

Grand Valley Institution for Women (GVI), located in Kitchener, is organized into a campus-style setting with several buildings, or “houses,” where inmates live together. The correctional facility contains minimum, medium, and maximum security units. The compound is designed to resemble a residential community, with the aim of assisting the reintegration of federally-sentenced women into society.

This is an irrelevant observation.

One doesn't have to have kids or particularly enjoy the company of children to be vehemently opposed to paedophilia.

One reason why this trans-in-sport issue has not been taken seriously enough is because the largest demographic supporters of trans in all spaces are women... and most of these women have no interest in sports of any kind (male or female leagues). Sport and what is involved in sport competition isn't in their purview. So, the logic goes that because it doesn't directly impact most women, then who cares.

It's short-sighted and immoral.

I don't know why you think it hasn't been dealt with.
When it first became an issue rules were put in place, now its not a real thing anymore.
There are now rules about trans people in sports.

(did I do that right, valcazar?)

No idea since I don't know what you are trying to do.

 

[Valcazar]

This is an irrelevant observation.

On the contrary, it's very relevant

The whole pitch is based around "protecting women's sports" - a thing you don't actually care about.

One doesn't have to have kids or particularly enjoy the company of children to be vehemently opposed to paedophilia.

A bad analogy.
If you say you are for protecting children from paedophilia, and pass laws about paedophilia, then your attitude about kids is irrelevant.
Your stated reason for what you are doing and what you are doing are congruent.

I'm pointing out that the "trans women in sports" thing is not you being congruent.

One reason why this trans-in-sport issue has not been taken seriously enough is because the largest demographic in supporter of trans in all spaces are women... and most of these women have no interest in sports of any kind (male or female leagues). Sport and what is involved in sport competition isn't within their purview or life experience. Sport is little more than an abstract concept to them. Sport is merely a game of tag enjoyed by children and Neanderthal men. So, the logic goes that because it doesn't directly impact most women (and only impacts those moronic women that partake in sports), then who cares.

It's short-sighted, misguided, and immoral.

That's a take.
A fairly sexist take, but sure, it's one.

Is the implication here that transwomen participating in women's sports affects men and that's why you find it important?

 

[Valcazar]

What rules are those?

A bunch of different ones based on the sport in question.

Unlike you, I don't think the government should be trying to control everything.

 

[Frankfooter]

What rules are those?

Most leagues have some sort of rules now.

 

[Frankfooter]

Protecting women from male abuse is a valid government function.

What next, you gonna say the government should come down on hobbying?

 

[Valcazar]

The whole pitch is NOT based on "protecting women's sports". It's about protecting women who happen to be playing in sports for women. The byproduct is that the integrity of women's sports is protected.

You're overthinking this and it shows.

Protecting them from what, exactly?

What part of the "take" is sexist?

The most successful professional sports leagues are popular because men pay money to watch sports.

That's what you think your argument was saying?

There is no implication. The argument is clear. Transwomen should not participate in women's sports because it negatively affects female athletes.

In what way?

 

[Valcazar]

Protecting women from male abuse is a valid government function.

Ahh...
So playing in sport is abuse now?

 

[Valcazar]

Playing in sport is fine.

Men playing in women's sport is a civil rights violation.

This issue is not nearly as complicated as you seem to think it is.

How is it a civil rights violation?

That's an interesting approach, and presumably why you want the Federal government involved.
