Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn't going to result in any action, so I'm wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?
(if someone needs an image description, please ask)
OK that's the last straw for me. I am willing to give the benefit of a doubt to people, but this is the third strike for this person. So I've asked them to move their comm to another instance as they don't align with our instance values.
Yet another very common db0 W
Yet another very common transphobia L
Well done
Well done. I appreciate the fuck out of this place.
Fantastic to hear, thank you!
Australians are the worst
Another victory for the peoples court, hear hear
Based db0 as always.
Gendered sports is cringe, just sort into different "Leagues" based on different strength. Some cis boys can be born with a disadvantage, some cis girls can be born with a natural advantage, I don't see them complaining about the cis girls who have a natural advantage.
Also:
Gendered bathrooms are also dumb. What are people even doing in the bathroom lol, just use and gtfo.
I do agree with you in theory, but the problem with this is that there are enough tiers of male athletes to fill multiple leagues before any significant number of women would be included, and people tend to only be interested in the top level of competition. The effective result of eliminating gender segregation would be the total absence of women in competitive sports.

Legit, even into adulthood. I'm the one smashing up concrete and paving while hubs hides under trees weeding
Alas, cis-women with natural advantages are the biggest losers. (Edit... Trans people are hurt the most and lose the most from transphobia. What I should have said was "cis-women with natural advantages are also victims.")
They tend to get caught up in the anti-trans nets and checks due to their natural biology being different from "platonic ideal of feminine woman" and being excluded (or even called men, cheaters, and rapists, and attacked and threatened). Which really shows that the people pushing this care more about excluding trans-women than giving cis-women a space to flourish.
Cis women are not the biggest fucking victims of transphobia, jfc...
You're right, I could've worded that in a much better way. I was too blinkered by rhetorical flourish.
Trans people of all stripes lose harder from transphobia.
This same dipshit aggressively scoffed at calling people Nazis for transphobic abuse on SDF.

'They're just like the Nazis in 1931, not 1935! How dare you compare them.'
I don’t know enough about sports, or the skeletomuscular and endocrine differences between someone AMAB and someone AFAB, to comment on the topic.
I’d much prefer to defend our trans community, but there’s way too much misinformation for me to get the valid and credible information needed to do so. Can someone please share some links so people like me can be educated enough to speak out in support?
Read *Who's Afraid of Gender? *
The jest of it is that sometimes cis women have more testosterone than cis men. Even in top athletes.
And trans women on hrt have less than either.
I started transitioning over the summer, I've lost 15 lb of muscle mass.
Three decades of testosterone dominance made me tall and lanky. But no taller or more lanky than cis women I know. About the only major difference, as far as sports are concerned, would be my wider shoulders. And still needing to wear a cup I guess.
(Psst I think the word you meant was ‘gist’)
Oh thanks :)
Always fun to discover I've been misspelling a word for decades lol
They are arguing that they have said nothing wrong because men are not allowed in women's spots... ugh
Yeah, that person is a transphobe and a sealion, and there is absolutely no point in providing them any leeway or platform to spew their bigotry from.
