Mamdani, the presumptive Democratic nominee to be the next mayor of New York and a self-identified democratic socialist, said Sunday billionaires contribute to inequality.
I know the trans-women in sport issue is almost non-existent but it’s probably the biggest talking point in the comments it seems.
Not to surprising, since it is a standpoint that lays the foundation for oppressing and dehumanising one of the most vulnerable groups if society.
First it was just Trans people in sport, then it is trans people in bathrooms and the next step is eradicating trans peoples existence from public spaces.
The only point I was making was for fair competition in women’s sport, and broader still that centrist exist with non black and white opinions.
I believe we are as a society, getting better at accepting people. In my country we’re decently accepting I think, although there is still the intolerant person here and there. Overall I do hope one day everyone is accepting of everyone else.
I cited a study before that trans-women retain around 12% of the strength they had previously even with blockers in place. So it is still technically, not fair.
Although there may be more research that I’m reading about that someone metioned, in which case my opinion may change but the research is still somewhat inconclusive and requires more evidence.

Which is very sad and I’m not for that.

Thanks for your thoughts though.
Which you don’t seem to have researched, or you would have known about the standards already in place to keep competition fair.

And until then, you side with anti-trans bigots.
I side with research
You side with bigots. You will always require more research as a stalling tactic.
No, I simpily side with research. Full stop. That’s how opinions adapt, how people become better, learn and be wiser.
If you don’t adapt your beliefs over time than that is truely sad.
Don’t paint everyone with the same brush, lest someone paints you.
You side with anything that will keep trans people from participating as equals in society.
