Something I’ve been thinking about:
Tall people have a biological advantage in certain sports, like basketball. That means they should be banned, right? Just based on the same logic (that biological advantages are unfair) then what’s the difference?
sex-segregated sports are ridiculous to begin with, only created because men were afraid of losing to women. the idea that women should be segregated from sports justifies itself by assuming that women are inherently inferior to men in any given physical activity, which is literally not true and just flat out sexist. sports are not supposed to be fair, and excluding people based on their gender because you think an entire sex will perform worse sounds absurd when put into words. women’s sports leagues weren’t created out of fairness in the first place. they were created because women were literally not permitted by men to play with/against men professionally.
dude it’s not controversial to acknowledge that women are physically outclassed by men. That’s why they have their own teams.
Dutch people should be banned from playing basketball.
There are only two things I can’t stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures. And The Dutch.
But seriously though, weirdly, I don’t think the dutch are big basketball players. I can’t think of a single Dutchman currrently in the NBA, despite basketball exploding in popularity throughout europe.
I was joking with my other comment, but in some sports they solved this by having people only compete with others in their (weight) class. If this wasn’t about appression, this would be the obvious proposal to abolish gendered sports.
I dig Emma Vigeland. She’s got a good stance and mind. She used to be on TYT and got beef with them at some point, which was a loss for TYT, I think.
Her points here are salient. To paraphrase one point, she’s saying a voter my have the notion that a biologically born male transitioned to female might have a physical advantage in sports against biologically born females, and a voter may disapprove of that pairing in a match, but that stance doesn’t mean “I hate Trans people” not will it cause them to vote against trans rights. However, Schumer or Jeffries don’t have the nuance to understand that and drive the Democrats to push otherwise.
Who do we need to win against?
