Feminism has a new enemy, it’s transgenders and their supporters

Discussing the topic isn't ranting about it if you don't want to discuss it or you don't want people to discuss it that don't necessarily share your views and maybe you should find a different thread to read.

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

So what's with the drama. People interested in society and topics concerning it isn't obsessive that's called the being social and nobody's ranting just because they say things and believe things.

It seems you say these things about people to try and convince yourself that they're true.

 

If it is okay to segregate men from women in sports, and it is, then why is it wrong to segregate trans athletes from non-trans athletes?

Progressives claim that every kid has a right to enjoy sports. Fine. But literally no one says that they should be banned from sports.

 

We do accept it. That's not the problem.

The problems are 1) privacy concerns in lockerrooms, showers, and rest rooms, and 2) women's athletics.

There are real people aggrieved by this insistence by " progressives" that "trans women (i.e. , men in dresses) are women, PERIOD!" Read about Riley Gaines.

Why can't trans women menstruate or lactate? Becuase they aren't women. And please don't post some photo of a trans woman with something oozing from his breasts.

 

The problem is that transgender is often seen to be associated with paedophilia.

about two people have caused issues with women’s sports.

 

that isn't the problem at all and even suggesting it is disingenuous. pedophilia is just one of a number of problems that exist within a specific population that already has an underlying emotional disorder. this isn't about homosexuality either, so don't bother trying to throw that up as a smoke screen. a transgender individual is, by definition, someone who cannot cope with the sex they were born to. this is not a physical problem that can be dealt with by surgery or simply a social problem that can be dealt with through acceptance.

 

Why can't we allow for a whole new venue in sports -- Transgender! This would provide a new and interesting landscape in sports, provide significant sports fan interest, new teams, network contracts, advertising revenue, etc.

To make it work, transgender people would not be allowed to compete in venues that made up of genuine "male" or "female" individuals -- and vice-versa. Let genetics testing decide who's who and what's what, and then, "let the games begin". There's room for everybody if only we would allow it happen intelligently and responsibly!

 

That sounds like a nice idea, but I am not sure where the money comes from to fund it for all sports. One of the reasons for Title 9 for women’s sports was that money needed to be diverted from men’s sports, which had a paying audience to fund them, to women’s sports which has less followers.

The women’s pro basketball league has had to fight to stay alive. I am not aware of anything for women’s softball beyond college. As for the schools, they might be had pressed to fund all of these trans sports.

 

LOL-- because you are so focused on feminist issues?
You know when I'll start believing that? When most of the people saying it, aren't men!

FYI, the "new" feminist issue, is now an older, feminist issue: abortion rights. If you hadn't heard, there has been a fairly major shift in the laws regarding this, in the recent past. Also a video, at link:

Avid feminist, you appear to be-- does that mean you're solidly Pro-Choice?


In this next video, Gloria Steinem defines "feminism," as meaning that we all are equal, and so we can begin to do away with all the labels of gender, and class, and race.

You've heard of Gloria Steinem, yes?




Not for nothing, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) couldn't even get passed. And you think that a competition between themselves a trans women, is feminism's next great challenge? Too silly.

 

If they are so committed to having their male genitalia totally removed (I don't care how they try and reconstruct anything), I could care less about what restroom they use. However sports is a different situation.
