Opponents say [Washington state] voters were persuaded at least partly because the initiative and its boosters exploited deep-seated prejudices and misunderstandings about transgender people to erode their rights.

I wish people The Good Side were open to more nuanced conversations on this topic. There are many reasons why you could oppose trans athletes in girls sports that have nothing to do with transphobia but when that conversation is placed next to the foghorn of hate from The Bad Side, nuance dies.
There really isn’t a good reason except bigotry. The science is firm on this. Trans women are biologically female and have no advantage in sports over cis women.
Your problem is that you’re stuck on a bigoted assumption that “trans woman == man in a dress.”
Ah yes, the only possible reason anyone could oppose any possible aspect of any possible trans issue at all is if they are a transphobe. There is no reasonable opposition to any proposed trans issue at all theoretically ever even once at all ever. It’s always actually simply hate.
Good job. Have fun on my loser list.
Looks like you have unfortunately found people on “The Good Side” who are not open to nuanced conversations and live in perpetual echo chambers/cognitive dissonance
I happens literally every time.
What, exactly, are non-bigoted reasons you could oppose trans athletes specifically in girls sports?
I had a draft message that was basically “Before I bother, I want to make sure you engage in good faith. Can we agree on things like your DNA affects your hormones which effect you body development”, and a few other really really basic pillars that cannot be reasonably debated. I had to leave so left it as a draft…
But uh. In the other thread, you already claimed HRT takes full effect instantly in your
They do, actuallystatement. Also your stance implies a pre-18 start for HRT which is a whole other bucket of nuance. You already started nitpicking grammar like a 2012 internet troll. You already started accusing the other dude of feeding into the “Nazi agenda”. I just know that you are incapable of good faith discussion on a topic that is inherently touchy without letting your emotions take over.So I won’t bother engaging further, enjoy having the last word.
✅ Got called a right-wing nazi on Lemmy today
Genuinely hope their day/life gets better
The lemmy bingo card. Get called a Nazi, Get told to go back to Reddit, Get taunted due to something about your host domain, Get told you actually hate some group you actively are defending, etc
Genuinely hope you stop being a nazi.
They do, actually. [1][2][3][4][5][6]
Fewer*, and this is only the case if you don’t think trans women are women, which means you also do not think intersex women are women, which speaks to deeper seated hatred and genuinely bad biology. I’m guessing you’re the product of the US education system.
Oh. Ew. A TERF. I didn’t think your kind made it to lemmy yet. I wish your movement died on reddit and 4chan where it started. Trans women are women, if you think otherwise you need education and to stop being quite so bigoted.
What would you have to see to convince you that there are immutable biological differences between males and females? would an example change your mind?
Please don’t assume what I think, where I live, or my education level. (??? why ??)
And please don’t be rude. I’ve been on lemmy for years, and Feminism did not start on reddit and 4chan, LOL.
The struggle you’re having is that you don’t seem to realize that trans women are biologically female.
OHHHHHH okay 👍
Tap for spoiler
??? lmfao
Every time I see a trans person on the internet make an absolutely batshit crazy argument it makes me question the whole trans isn’t a mental illness thing.
Scientific studies that explicitly show that AMABs on HRT have some type of advantage over cis AFAB. They don’t exist in peer reviewed journals, but maybe I’m wrong. Go ahead. Find one. Two of the papers I linked are meta analyses.
I know what you think, because your moderation history and comment history are public on activitypub federated servers, and by god do you post a lot of bigoted bullshit to push your far-right nazi-inspired agenda. Seriously, you people, and I use that term loosely, need to be forcibly reeducated before you’re allowed to be out in public.
Feminism did not. Trans-exclusionary Radical Feminism did. Because chipping away at the LGBT+ alliance fits the nazi agenda and it’s easier to start with the ‘weaker’ ones.
Trans people are why gay rights exist in the west. One would do well to remember that, if you want to claim to be a part of the “LGB.”
