Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 day agoWeight and height classes exist
Not in every sport. Are there weight and height classes in track and field? Football? Soccer?
The near absence of trans people in sport, tends to indicate this really isn’t much a of a thing to begin with
It’s becoming more and more prevalent, don’t pretend like it isn’t. If it isn’t stopped there will be no women in the womens divisions of sports, only trans women.

WASHINGTON (TNND) — The U.N. says transgender athletes competing in women’s athletic events have won nearly 900 medals over their competitors, according to the results of a study obtained by The National News Desk (TNND).
The 20-page document examined “violence against women and girls in sports” and claims more than 600 biologically female athletes have lost at least 890 medals to transgender competitors. These defeats occurred in over 400 competitions in 29 sports, though authors did not specify specific events, levels of competition or time periods.

IIRC this is the study that counted medals multiple times
But I’m glad you have your culture wars to fill in your day

You act like you’re not participating in this “culture war” as much as I supposedly am lol.
You said it’s barely affecting anyone. I posted evidence that it affects hundreds/thousands of people. You dismiss it based on you thinking you remember something lol

do you remember the part where I said I’m not an expert, not invested or care about sport?
Who has the energy to care? assuming you’re a seppo, your country has a shit tonne more to worry about than how good someone’s chromosomes make them at putting a hockey stick in a basket from the other end of the pool

You unironically posted John Oliver and expected people to take it seriously lol

Yet here you are, caring.
Not american, and that is a pathetic way to try and kill a discussion. Just because something more important might be happening everything else should be ignored?
