All those records set by non-women will be expunged and put in a new category of their own. It's only a matter of time.

It's possible that a third category will be created, but since there are no meaningful requirements for being trans it would very quickly just turn into a men's 'B' league. And since I doubt these narcissists are interested in anything like that, it would probably never really get off the ground.

Am I the only accelerationist on this board? I tend to cheer on this sort of lunacy as a sign that the damn may soon burst.

You're not the only one. Its a fairly popular stance considering the history of cheating in sports, like my personal favourite: In 2000, the Spanish basketball team won gold at the Paralympics. But they didn't have a disability.

how is having intellectual disabilities relevant to physical sports anyway... that seems like a really questionable category

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

that could be a disability but that says only 2 of the 12 players really had one, so they just lied and cheated. Intellectual disability means being retarded. They faked it like cartman did on south park.

oh, ok, it said they didn't take a test for "learning disabilities" so I was thinking things like ADD or dyslexia... if it's a more serious mental handicap that would be different. (Although, that would also seem like it would be pretty easy to notice who fits the profile)

I guess the main way they test it is to see if the person has an IQ below 75, but in that case they just never did any tests. That had been in australia and the spanish players just wanted a free vacation there.

No, I agree. I don't know that acceleration alone will be sufficient, but I believe it's probably the only way forward.

[–]Trajan 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Agreed. The general public will need to see the true extent of this, and the full gamut of identity politics, so there's a big enough backlash to put it back in its box. Transgenderism or the sexualising if children are the facets of identity politics most likely to create the reaction. The BLM riots and critical race theory have certainly disgusted a lot of normal people.

The main concern is with risk. It's all kinds of wrong that women and children will have to abused for this to happen. Whatever we do for transgenders, we need to reach the point where society accepts they cannot be considered female in anything but voluntary politeness and consideration.

accelerationism is wishful thinking and gives you the excuse to do nothing. without fighting back things will just keep getting worse till it's too late like in 1984.

[–]Node 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Can't get much worse

The thing is, no one is fighting back, and indications are that no one will. Even Trump did his part to keep the plebs fearing consequences if they just try a little bit. [TrumpBackstabbingThousandsOfPatriotSupporters.jpg]

As for accelerationism, it really asks for help with smashing the gas pedal to the floor, to accelerate. There's nothing about it that means chilling out and doing nothing.

But the premise that the people who are doing nothing by this point 'just need more incentive' is questionable. Seems like a very large probability that things will get worse and people will just cope and adapt harder.

It should have burst a long time ago. What makes you think it's going to happen? What if clown world is permanent?

[–]naples 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

My argument is that it's always been a clown world. IMHO opinion the period following WW2 up to the 80's was an anomaly, unlikely to be repeated anytime soon. Those who grew up in this period have a skewed vision.

    I just haven't seen any trans people advocating for a third category of sports (or restroom facilities, or prison wings, etc.) Who is going to organize it? Unfortunately, I think the whole point for them is specifically to be included in women's spaces and sports.

    [–]Trajan 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    Yeah, to accept a third category would run contrary to the activist push to be considered true and honest ladies. There's that and the reality of this being a serious mental health condition - men believing themselves to be female.

    If you believed yourself to be Julius Caesar, would you not expect be treated as such?

    I'd certainly watch my back.

    Wise man.

    barry bonds records still stand in baseball

    Hopefully this will get people to see that it is in fact the concept of women's sports that is silly and they will be abolished.

    Cultural conditioning has made them afraid to speak out. These girls, and their parents, need to recognize it doesn't matter if "it's an individual sport, we'd only be hurting ourselves" because they're hurting themselves by tolerating this madness!

    [–]Canbot 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    Let's all take this moment to recognize that this absurdity is being pushed by what is supposed to be the most intelligent group of people. What happened to colleges that they are literally pushing the most absurd lies anyone has ever heard? What is the future of institutions that have abandoned science, rationale, and critical thinking?

    [–]iamonlyoneman 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

    They let women in.

    To be fair most of this cultural marxism was created by men.

    I think tranny athletes should be required to have a radical penectomy and be castrated before they can compete as "women".

    [–]iamonlyoneman 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

    Doesn't matter. The bone structure, muscle mass, &c. can't be compensated-for. The only way to even out the playing field is to prevent puberty altogether, which would be a monstrous thing to do to a child.

    [–]IkeConn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I wasn't going there. I am advocating cutting their cock and balls off as the admission charge to the swim team. Even a tranny wants to get off every once in a while.
