I think the best part is he was Canadian.it’s real it was the team canada powerlifting coach lol. I remember hearing about it a while agoMale powerlifter breaks women’s record held by a biological male in protest of transgender policies | Fox News
The previous record was held by Anne Andres, a transgender athletewww.foxnews.com
Real trans people who just live their lives quietly doing their thing not hurting anyone should just be left alone. Just like gay people who do the same. Just like I would like to be left alone to do my thing if I'm not hurting anyone.
But like every group there has to be the asshats that gotta push shit or make a point. They wreck it for the rest.
Honestly I don't care if you are trans, or think you are a cat, but as long as you do it in a way to fit in with the rest of society, like we all do.
Social media has made all of this worse. Now for some reason we have to hear the extremes spew their crap and they expect reconsition.
Eventually the whole thing will blow over, like every fad, eventually it will die down. Kinda like the no gluten fad about 8 years ago.
Sometimes we need to remember to not feed the trolls, lol.
I agree 100%
Do what you like with your life.
The flip side to that is don't expect for me to refer to you as a woman because you imagine you are.
fully agree, I just used the term as a point of reference. Most have not bought into the fuckery that's why threads like this pop up. Most people KNOW so much of this is wrong but remain silent due to not wanting to be called out for it by the fringe minority pushing this and other agendas
Little food for thought/possible derail:
In the early 2000s, a lot of “depressed” teenage girls would cut their wrists and thighs leaving permanent scars to “feel better.” Now, that is so incredibly rare. You know what isn’t rare? Transgenderism in youth. Possible that it just took its place?

I don’t think you’re too far off here. Nowadays it seems like anyone who doesn’t know where they belong will join the rainbow groups to avoid being alone. Society, entertainment and our schools have glamorized the LBGTQ community. It’s cooler to be apart of that than anything else. I don’t care personally, do what you want to do.
The up side, everyone has a group to hang out with in school and nobody is a “loner” anymore and they have a certain level of protection they wouldn’t otherwise have just being a socially awkward teen. The downside is these kids end up making big, potentially life altering, decisions without any consideration of how they might feel in the future.
Being polite and courteous is a great virtue Sr.
The way I look at it, I don’t care, I’ll take anyone’s money as long as they are polite as well.
I honestly havn’t had a single trans or gay person ever freak out in the store like you see online. I believe we think it’s more prevalent than it really is because of social media.
As I said above, there are always those asshats. And there is one of them in every “gender”, lol.
i have at the pharmacy. “he” was wearing a bra that pushed his tits out too. called his legal name and almost got castrated.
I'm not certain I understand your point,
In my estimation using the phrase trans women is nothing more than a self named intersectional identifier.
Such as goth, hippy, punk, emo, etc.
If there is another less PC but equally concise sobriquet I'm open to using it. Saying trans women doesn't imply accepting it as real anymore than saying Muslims means you accept Islam as real.
Funny thing that tennis player was in his 50s a smoker, and he showed up 5 beer deep, serena couldn't return a serve. She just laughed.Sure there are 100s factors that one can use to imply one has an unfair advantage. In competitive sports the idea is to make them competitive by creating classes, like weight classes etc.
Women's (female) sports is a primary class differential.
Allowing trans women into women's sport will be the death knell of professional women's sports and all that they have fought to accomplish. In a few years, all elite "women's" sports records will be held by trans women.
The natural outcome from this (and the inherent fallacy of the argument that "there are unfair genetic advantages anyway",) would be the end of women's/men's sports.
We will just have 'sports', entirely dominated by men.
It would be pointless for women, trans or otherwise, to compete at the elite level.
And not just contact sports,
pretty much all sports outside of a very few would be dominated by men
E.g. Remember when Serena and Venus got their asses beat easily by a man ranked 200th in the world?
THROWBACK: When Serena and Venus Lost to a Male Tennis Player at Australian Open
Former German tennis players recalls an episode when he beat Serena Williams and Venus Williams during the 1998 Australian Open.www.essentiallysports.com
Any strength, contact or combat sport, trans should be banned. Or any tested federation, most take hormones.
Bone structure and density is just not the same, shoulders, hips, jaws.. are built much different from a male to female. Thats not even considering someone who had Testosterone for 30 years.
Its much different on the other side of the counter for sure. Dont wanna hurt your company. My problem is I can never tell what they are trying to be, so I dont really know what to call them....lol
We have a nephew that became a full on niece a few years back. He was a high level rugby player, very good at it. Had his change and joined a female rugby team and are destroying the competition and he’s totally fine with it.
No matter how much estrogen they pump into him/her he/she still looks like a beast on the field.

yeah, i was also a high level rugby player and my NATURAL T levels qualified me to play in the women’s league if i really wanted to LOL
I don't agree.
"Trans women" are not women.
Women who Identify as Males are not males.
Perhaps just calling them Trannies like I always have is the most simple and legitimate name for them.
I don't give a shit what people do with their lives. I am not going to distort reality though and call then by what they feel they are.
the existence of “trans women” implies they are not women rather transgender, or attempting to mimic women. they aren’t women and never will be, i think many of us can agree on that. simple biology. however, the term “trannie” is seen as derogatory these days.
using the term “trans women” or “trans men” just kinda makes it clear what you’re talking about. and really, we don’t need to be disrespectful. you can respectfully disagree. it’s just words anyway, i personally don’t care and don’t get why a trans person would care, but it seems to be the main issue trans people care about lol.
But i’ll also ask why you’re so against calling someone by whatever they prefer. it’s a pretty effortless thing. as long as they aren’t harming anyone or causing a riot when someone calls them sir, i would rather personally call them whatever they “claim” to be. Just civil in my eyes.
it's actually not effortless and imposes on your time your effort and wellness. It's projected mental illness to me before I visit theologically and morally. I'm not on board and never will be.
All these groups also proactively criticize and detract from me while looking down on me and blaming me...why would I give any of them the time of day?
Tolerance is my best path as they most certainly don't respect my opinion.

OK I guess I can wrap my head around that. It does differentiate them from someone who is actually a woman. As far as trannie being derrogatory, I didn't know that but it is what I will still refer to them as.

Because it's ridiculous. Where does it stop?
I would much prefer if people referred to me as Doctor but they don't, nor would I ask them to pretend to call me something I am not. If someone wants to be a whale, a moose, Micheal Jordan, a God, a Demon. It's ridiculous that reality and truth are not as important as someone's feelings.
