LGBTQ athletes, fans and allies: we have the latest sports news impacting our community

I'm pretty sure if a story came out of a teenage lesbian losing their scholarship because of MTFs in women's sports they wouldn't consider that 'impacting our community.'

LGBTQ is just shorthand for TQ while dragging LGB along for the ride to get wider societal approval.

Agree. I also think that when they call us TERFS, we call them RCA=Rape Culture Advocate. Think this name is quite accurate to the likes of them.

Or a female athlete sustaining a career ending injury at the hands of a trans athlete...

Fallon Fox already smashed Tamikka Brents’ skull and bragged about it. TRAs were silent. Veronica Ivy already called women athletes losers for daring to voice concern over competing with with men. TRAs were silent. They don’t care one bit about women’s athletics unless it revolves around men.

That guy won 10 matches in a row against women with a single hit, some of his opponents were not able to continue their carieres because of the injuries. He was in Navy SEALs, so was very strong to begin with, transitioned around 30 years old. And he was in "bravest LGBT people in sports" top 20 list in some journals. As I said before - it would be only braver if he went to kindergarden after all his training and there smash skulls for some children. Very brave to make women lose their cariers and endanger their lives.

Ah yes, and he was married all this time and has children. So after transition he and his wife both became "lesbian".

Fallon fox is a deceitful piece of shit. You can't look at Fox is and think he has ANY business competing with women. I'd never seen that video before. That was clearly an unfair fight and it looked like he would have killed her had the ref not stepped in.

At least he finally got his ass kicked by a woman. Ashlee Evans Smith is a badass.

I teach Judo,BJJ and as part of that also MMA.

We have students from 5 to over 60. Boys and girls. We often get the very young boys and girls to work with each other. But even pre-puberty the strength discrepancy is there. The moment puberty hits we no longer let them work with each other until the boys have grown and matured enough to know their own strength. There are a few younger teenage boys who I trust to work with the girls and to test them without instantly overpowering them and hurting them.

The strength differences. Especially upper body and things like grip strength is not subtle.

Edit : Just to add some context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ma5zYn7WRM

Here is one of the best female grapplers of recent times getting played with by a 'ok' male grappler.

It is not even funny the disparity. There is a reason why people like Fallon Fox almost murders in the cage.

Absolutely. I did judo as a teenager and there is definitely a strength difference.

Imagine being so goddamn narcissistic and entitled that you’d demand an uneven playing field for half the population and dox anyone who disagreed with you. These people are miserable.

These people are so nasty to anyone who isn't in lockstep with them. It's amazing they can't see why having biological men competing in women's sports might be a problem. And it's a huge slap in the face to female athletes who work their asses off.

Imagine being so vile that you harass and try to destroy the lives of anyone who says no to you.

The comments on twitter are mostly supportive of these female athletes so that's good. Articles like this will peak some people because even those who believe twaw, there are many online who don't think they should play sports with bio women. I have seen tweets saying "twaw, but they should have their own league".

Yeah nobody wants to exclude trans athletes from sports,what they want is to ensure fair play.Aka no males in female sport categories.Trans identifying males can have their own categories or compete with men.

[–]MezozoicGayoldschool gay 14 insightful - 4 fun14 insightful - 3 fun15 insightful - 4 fun -  (1 child)

or compete with men

Many stories about winning trans athletes I've read where those transes were praised (so they are from TRA perspective) are all mentioning that trans was starting in men sports and doing poorly, but then came to women sports and broke all records. And for some reason it is praised by them as something good. While in reality it just shows why men and women sports are separated in the first place - as average male athlete is much faster and stronger than best female athletes.

Yep. Mediocre men athletes self-identifying as women and we cheer when they dominate the sport. So brave. insert eyerolls til I die

I hope this causes Joe Rogan to raise his voice again and platform some female athletes. He is vocal about his concerns about males competing in female sports. Why not have Martina on or the girls who sued in the Connecticut track case?

Vox Media. They blame layoffs on the virus panic. Nope. The virus panic is simply shaking out the weak hands. There's no self supporting market for trans propaganda stories. https://variety.com/2020/digital/news/vox-media-layoffs-6-percent-revenue-coronavirus-1234708210/ I bet they file for bankruptcy within six months.

I just can't believe woke click bait article writers aren't seen as necessary to society.

When the Guardian put out their emergency call for donations last month 4/5ths of the comments were from GC women saying 'no, you abandoned us' and the other 1/5th were from TRAs and Corbyn supporters saying that they couldn't support such a transphobic and/or anti-Corbyn newspaper. Despite TG being the most trans-positive actual newspaper (pink news doesn't count) in the country and one of the most, if not the most, in the entire world.

So they listened to what the majority said and... decided to dig themselves an even deeper grave

If TG is still around in five years I'll be surprised. I do miss the paper that it used to be many years ago but I won't miss it when it dies.

Wow. I read that whole thread. Very telling that he tells trans people that there are many reporters who want to tell their stories, and then in the next tweet tells women who disagree that he is saddened to lose them. Tells you exactly where his priorities are.

These violent and malignant narcissists calling Martina a homophobe and trying to cancel her when she first called them out peaked so many people. I honestly thought it was an Onion article when I read about it. To be so dismissive of her contributions to women and gay women in sports is so ugly and pathetic. There is no defending this but the TWAW crowd have earned gold medals trying to jump the hurdles of logic to make this make sense.

Question. If there are people who believe twaw, why do they also believe they shouldn't be allowed to compete against women, to begin with? Isn't that inconsistent and not plausible? What are their grounds now for defending their stance that twaw if they can't compete with women? It's like suspending your disbelief and lowkey actually thinking they're men, only you can't say it out loud or you might ruffle some feathers.
