Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"It is a complicated issue. It is truly a complicated issue, with a wide range of views, truly a wide range of views," Jean-Pierre said. "There is no 'yes or no' answer to this, it is complicated. There is a rule that the Department of Education [DOE] has put forward, and we're going to let that process move forward, and again, we want to make sure that while we establish guardrails with this rule, we also prevent discrimination, as well, against transgender kids. But again, a complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that."

"Absolutely no reason for the Biden admin to do this," New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "It is indefensible and embarrassing. The admin can still walk this back, and they should. It's a disgrace."

"Honestly, this move by Biden to push a rule on trans kids in sports is not only a backwards betrayal, it [forces] us to have to spend our time dealing with god d*** sports instead of criminal bans on our healthcare," Alejandra Caraballo, a civil rights attorney and LGBTQ+ advocate, wrote. "He could have just done nothing. This is legitimizing transphobia."

The mOsT PrOgReSsIvE Administration in History™ funny-clown-hammer "A complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that" funny-clown-hammer Fuck off out of here with that "centrist" nonsense. There's nothing complicated about it, and it's not an issue unless you want to turn it into one and want to appeal to people's emotions like Republicans are doing. It was only a matter of time before they'd start throwing trans people under the bus. I guess with the coming elections it's as good a time as ever.

yeah, it's a complicated issue when you're implementing mandatory penis inspections. very simple non-issue if you don't do mandatory penis inspections. even more of a non-issue if sports scholarships were completely unnecessary for obtaining an affordable education

As a trans person, fuck sports, fuck the biden admin, I'm so fucking sick of this shit stfu-terf

"Harm reduction"

[–] joseph@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago

But Muh “harm reduction” candidate

[–] JamesConeZone@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago

In what others have described as a total shutdown of the Biden regime's statement, a user on Lemmy has replied, "it is not complicated." Other members said the response was "based" and that Biden was "owned by facts and logic." When reached for comment, President Joe Biden said "What? Hey man I'll--" and was interrupted by falling into his own toilet.

It is a complicated issue tho. Some transphobes deserve re-education camps, while others need to get the wall.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago

And Hillary Clinton says the Democrats focus too much on trans issues. Still have no idea what the hell she's talking about. Have heard more about gay marriage than anything explicitly trans.

[–] Bnova@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's really not complicated. If trans people are the athletic super soldiers they're made out to be we need to encourage them to compete in sports to make them less of a snooze-fest.

[–] Goblinmancer@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago

Trans people are apparently like the speedster from incredibles where they have super speed but pretends to not have it apparently.

I genuinely feel like this is such a non issue that even if I was completely wrong and science was a lie and trans women did have some kind of advantage over cis women in sports, it still wouldn't fucking matter because there are roughly six trans women playing sports at a high level. Manufactured outrage go brrrr.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

ik so many trans women are shut in nerds (myself included, i pretty much only go outside to go to the lgbt center and avoid other situations at all cost)

Look at all the harm being reduced. funny-clown-hammer Look at how this was and will be the most important election of our lives funny-clown-hammer

Clearly trans people are only good enough to get your rocks off to and then be discarded. But tell me again why I need to vote for the-democrat and how they're really any different from the-republican?

Gotta love all the liberals coming in here telling us why it's "complicated", while pointing out they support trans right. No, you don't support trans rights. Because if you did, you wouldn't undermine those rights by parroting the same talking points as conservatives; talking points that are based on willfully ignoring facts, and even the lack of evidence that this is an issue that exists in the first place. It also gets tiring seeing those same people act like they know how trans people's bodies work, and not even acknowledge the fact that trans people go through biological changes if they can get gender affirming care, and are very comparable to their cis counterparts. The medical science on it is right there, and trans people's own experiences are living proof as well. But it's easier forming bullshit "opinions" instead, especially if you have a certain agenda (conservatives), or just don't care about said minority as much as you think you do.

Who the fuck cares about school sports?

There haven't been many studies for the impacts at the highest levels of competition (Olympic, World Cup, etc.)... For professional sports I'm OK with taking a more conservative approach, but who the fuck cares about school sports? There's so much genetic and age and socioeconomic variance that it literally doesn't matter.

Oh nice this is on /all/ now. I'd just like to say that anyone that supports democrats after this deserves to be hit by a truck. That is all.

Eat shit, I genuinely hope physical harm comes to you.

On a tangential note, arm lgbt people.

In a better world, the right-wing position is to give every LGBT+ person an assault rifle. The centrist position is to give every LGBT+ person a bazooka. The left-wing position is to give every LGBT+ person a railgun. The communist position is to give every LGBT+ person a heavily-armed 30 foot tall mech.

Kids can be up to a year older than their classmates due to the way kindergarten start date cutoffs work. These kids who arbitrarily end up older tend to outperform their peers, because a 7.9 year old is stronger and faster than a 7 year old. This is a real difference - the NHL did a study on this and found that their players disproportionately have early-year birthdays due to how this effect lines up with hockey camps.

Do you care? Of course not, nobody cares about the competitive fairness of kids' sports, the point is just to get them to exercise and have a hobby. We can verify that nobody takes this seriously by looking at high school sports, where suddenly a four year age gap is acceptable.

Okay, so why does this suddenly matter when it's what team a trans kid should be on?

So, you think voting for a Republican or not voting is going to get the job done?

But again, a complicated issue with a wide range of views, and we respect that.

You don't have to though.

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago

Give blockers to all the kids so they have equal playing field

[–] JohannaChittarra@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago

Wow! I love having my continued existence being labelled “complicated” by people in high elected offices.
