Our privates are private

And so are mine, as well as my private life and my home. You can't get access to them unless I consent. And I am allowed to make whatever requirements I want for giving out that consent because it's a privilege one must earn from me, not a right anyone has. So it doesn't matter what makes you uncomfortable, if you have a dealbreaker red flag, then I will not allow you into my pants or home. If you knowingly try to hide or dance around the issue, that's an attempt at deception, not keeping your private stuff to yourself.

Frankly, if you want anything to do with someone else's private life, then you lose the right to keep these kinds of things private from them. If we are having a conversation about potentially mashing our genitals together, then I have a right to know what kind of genitals you have. Heck, a lot of people ask for a lot more information than that. Among gay men, I've been asked about its size, the hair nearby, and whether or not I've been circumcised. None of this is violating my privacy if the question is coming from someone I plan or am considering having sex with. It's just making sure everyone knows what will happen before it potentially does, which everyone should have a right to know.

This would all be a non-issue if they wouldn't rewrite the definition of words and act victimized when we don't play along with their delusions. There was no need for us to talk about what genitals someone had, harshly or kindly, until they started making attempts to reform language on a global scale to make themselves feel better.

We all know what "gay" and "lesbian" and "man" and "woman" mean. The world getting peaked over the whole Lia Thomas debacle makes it quite apparent.

The old transsexuals I used to know never acted like this. Trans women lived life presenting as women (and trans men presenting as men), but they all knew what sex they were, and didn't get offended and become aggressive if someone said "no". No one had to go out of their way to play these word games with them because they lived in reality and weren't attempting to deny it.

Are people actually peaking over Lia Thomas? What are you basing that on? Not a challenge, I'm generally curious and would love some good news. It's just that trans women destroying women's sports has been a thing in seemingly every sport for a while now and in private seemingly no one has ever thought that trans women should be in women's sports, yet the court cases and policies changes have been moving full steam ahead against women. I'm wondering what's different now. Is it that families of Ivy League students have a lot more power and personal investment in their daughters' college experiences and future prospects?

I think people are finally starting to connect the dots, and women's sports is helping them do that. We've got a long way to go, but it's a start.

When it was one random cyclist or one random handballer, it could be waved away as "anti-trans"/"terfs" making things harder by cherry-picking. When an entire university team stands up against it, the NCAA starts changing their policies, and several US states update their laws too ... the house of cards seems to be shaking apart.

Just a couple things I've run across, gives me hope things are changing.

In that Reddit thread, even pro-TQ+ are saying it should be sex-based not gender - refreshing for Reddit.

Thanks for sharing. These are promising signs. I'm still waiting for the mainstream liberal media to take their fingers out of their ears. On a lighter note, I have to laugh that someone took the time to write a long comment that included this nugget:

Maybe a solution would be to entirely get rid of the gender classes in sports. Especially sports in which gender doesn't matter at all. A better classification would be athletic capabilities, the thing that actually matters when playing sports. That way, even cis athletes who have unfair advantages due to a variety of reasons (eg. Michael Phelps) will be put against people at their same skill level regardless of gender.

As if the only reason Michael Phelps hasn't had serious competition is because he hasn't been competing against women. I also snorted at the idea of a league for people who excel at a sport and a second league for those who are less good. Let's see how that works out for Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball. Two leagues for men - yay, mission accomplished!

Maybe I didn't read down far enough but I was hoping to see near the top that what most people think of as men's sports leagues aren't even male-exclusive, just that women due to the differences of their female biology have prevented them from being able to perform at the level necessary to even warm the bench, which is why we have female sports leagues to begin with: gender neutral leagues are de facto male-only (e.g., the NBA, NFL, etc.). Liberal people, this is your out. Take it!

And what are we supposed to say to the men who think their reconstructed dicks = vaginas?

I think that's exactly the point of the video, which is the most ludicrous thing about it.

Don't ask what genitals they have, tell them that you only date "vagina havers" (like those words would ever come out of a sane person's mouth) so then they can make the decision whether or not they want to date you, because they might have a "vagina" and then are in the clear as far as you dating them. They legit think that the barrier is "intact penis," and that if they have something down there that somewhat resembles a vagina, then no lesbian or straight man should be able to say no on a "genital preference" basis.

The clear end result of this kind of manipulation is people just straight-up saying, "I don't date trans women." But that's not allowed to be said anymore, so I guess, if you don't wanna date transwomen, you just... don't date, you big meanie.

There’s no scenario where a transwoman emerged from his mother’s womb with female genitalia. Likewise, someone who’s exclusively into females (i.e. lesbians) isn’t going to be interested in a transwoman in any capacity. Video Guy created an entirely fictional scenario to coerce lesbians who still buy into TWAW into advertising their homosexuality. The intent, of course, isn’t lesbians getting to assert sexual boundaries. It’s merely to single out the heretics for harassment.

In their defense, this seems to be aimed at lesbians already within the gender identity fandom. Which must be a strange place to find yourself, constantly chanting the mantra "transwomen are women", whilst being a homosexual only attracted to... actual women.

This is p.s.a. for male chasers, isn’t it? As a woman, I can’t even fathom another woman acting the way this man thinks they do.😂

I don't date penis havers regardless of how they identify or the current state of their penises.

I'm all about "putting it up on your profile," but don't things like that get you in trouble on apps like Grindr?
