Serious question... If you believe in social programs then, wherever you are, what makes you "right leaning"?
Actually, that's a typo. I intended to put left leaning, I thought I put left leaning, and reading it back a moment before seeing your comment, I noticed the error.
Whoops. My bad.
Problem more of a traditionalist
cultural perspectives. anti-LGBTQ stuff.
Are you asking all of us? I'm personally a constitutionalist. That never used to be right-leaning, but it's now forced in that camp. Im also a staunch supporter of biological women's sports staying that way, and opening categories that incorporate trans men and trans women together in one. Much more interesting sporting that way anyway. Includes everyone, you'll see more trans men in sports (very few if none as of now) and you get to keep biological women sports as fair as possible.
Evil, I know. 🙄
sports forced you?
Sports forced me to what?
In my reply, I said I'm a constitutionalist. It used to be a thing that wasn't defined as right-wing, but whatever the new DNC left has become, they're the ones who are insisting constitutionalists are right-leaning.
sports forced you to lean right. thats what you said.
Sports didn't. The vocal left insisting that I'm "right" because I want to keep biological women's spaces for biological women. We can open other categories for trans people to participate in. We can give rights without others being forced to give up their own.
but the deciding factor was sports?
There were many deciding factors.whats been happening to women's sports is just one of the.m
Thanks for answering... Personally my thought is that anyone should be allowed to compete in any sport they qualify for... Just add more league levels. Don't have to name them in a hierarchical way. Sort of like heavy weight vs feather weight... The competition is still going to be good because you've divided athletes by ability level, not something as arbitrary as sex or gender assigned at birth. If a woman or trans person can somehow compete with men (assigned at birth) in the NFL, I wanna see that shit. Sure you'd probably just end up with a league full of women, less talented men, and trans people, but at least they'd all be competitive in that league. Shit, maybe if there were some trans women or less skilled men in the "women's" leagues people might actually watch them. Idk... I'm definitely talking out of turn; personally I think organized sports are as bad for society as organized religion.
It's gets super convoluted at that point. Men and women who have switched genders by way of hormones is an easy solution. You can have the same league levels as we do now, not have to make up a whole bunch of new ones, and you keep women's sports for assigned at birth
To be clear, mens sports are usually open sports, they started being called men sports when women had to open up their own, but I think anyone can partake. They don't, because they lose, and it makes it not fun. So open categories aren't an answer. But a hormone competitions are a great one. :)
