Does he have a military background or something? Why is he more of an expert on this topic?

What’s the purpose behind the theater?

And the big inconveniences to reddit hasn’t even occurred yet. Wait till the apps that everyone uses disappear. You’ll see even more people moving to the fediverse. We gotta get some apps up though.

You can’t even tell. I figured I was talking to people from Kbin, cause that’s where I am. Turns out most of you are on lemmy. It’s seamless a lot of the time.

If lemmy is an issue for some, send them to kbin instead. It doesn’t matter where in the fediverse they come in at, as long as they are in the fediverse.

100% this. There are tens of thousands, if not 100’s of thousands of people in the fediverse now. That is PLENTY to get these communities going. They will only continue to grow. And as people have choice, and they see this as a better platform than reddit (which it is, and will become even more so in the future), people will slowly stop going to reddit, and starting going here. Reddit won’t die, not overnight. But it’s peaked. And it’s only downhill for reddit from here on out.

Can I point to data that men are taller than women? Stronger than women? Yes… yes I can. Or you can just google it. It’s a pretty easily verifiable fact.

We are banning them specifically because they gained that advantage by going through puberty as a gender they aren’t competing as. And none of those other women competitors had the ability to do that.

That is the difference. And I think that’s a fine reason to ban someone from competing (AT A HIGH LEVEL, NOT CHILDREN’S SPORTS).

I’m not going to try to defend Republicans, because I disagree with them on basically everything.

But I’m not disagreeing about reality, I’m disagreeing about opinion.

Here is my opinion. If you have an advantage in a sport due to something genetically natural about you, and you went through puberty as the same gender as the sport your competing in. I’m fine with that.

If you have an advantage in a sport and went through puberty as a different gender than the class your competing in, I’m not ok with that.

There is no fact or no fact there. It’s an opinion. One that I’m entitled to have. And one that you need to be able to hear, without the need to silence me or delete my comments. Because people should be allowed to have a different opinion then you.

We can argue about the merits of our opinion, but you can’t say I’m not congruent with reality, or however else you want to try to downplay my opinion.

I think it’s really simple.

If you have an advantage because of something that occurs naturally in you, and you’ve gone through puberty as a woman, then it’s fine.

If you have an advantage because you went through puberty as a gender other than what you’re competing as, then it falls outside of the advantages we are willing to accept.

That’s all there is to it, really.
