Show your workings?

It's called real life. The silent majority.

 

[Bostonian]

Bingo.

Thanks for playing.

Oh, you're a bubble boy.

What do you think the world wide view is?

This will be good.

 

[SM]

Nah just not transphobic.

 

[Loonerty]

The "silent majority" is often not silent and a minority.

 

[Planet14]

It's called real life. The silent majority.

So when polling shows almost 80% of Australians support trans rights, the silent majority are excluded from the sample population or simply don’t answer truthfully?

 

[Frank Bunn]

As someone who has played different sports against women I can categorically say we men have huge advantages over them.

I've played against some women who've made AFLW and VFLW and I really had to hold back on how I performed because I could see how my advantages even at a past my prime age were still too large.

No cutting off of parts ot taking hormones will make me lose my height, my wingspan or my speed.

Most of the people who claim trans women have no physical advantage always look like people who are the least athletic in the room.

Most of the arguments around trans women in sport revolve around testosterone level. But as you say, someone who has gone through puberty as a male will not lose height or arm reach that might give them an advantage in sports when competing against biological women.

Ah I see, you're a small thinker. I was talking about the world.

So with that in mind, what does the majority of the planet think?

And supporting trans rights doesn't mean you agree men can be women.

An atheist can say they agree with religious people's rights without believing the religious person's view a God exists.

 

[Bostonian]

Nah just not transphobic.

What word do you use for people who don't believe in the God delusion?

 

[Planet14]

Ah I see, you're a small thinker.

Playing the man, ignoring the question. Standard.

Playing the man?

You referenced a small part of the world.

Sport involves the whole world.

Thus you think small.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Genuinely confused as to how it's transphobic why a trans athlete shouldn't compete with men or women?

XX and XY. That should determine what gender you can compete in pro sports, including any olympiads.

Whereas your world view is based on your own opinions and those of your other middle aged white male mates at the local. That’s big thinking.

Oh please.

Go ask Africa, Asia, South America, Central America, the Middle East what their view is. You think your majority is going to hold up worldwide?

Tell that to Semenya.

 

[Bostonian]

Biology is all that matters in sport.

Males play in male leagues, females play in female leagues.

Mixed leagues anyone can play.

Seems a very easy outcome.

No it isn't. Again, tell that to Semenya.

We don't change whole systems to cater for a miniscule few.

Sometimes we just have to miss out.

The system literally got changed to exclude her.

 

[Bostonian]

The system literally got changed to exclude her.

That happens when extremely uncommon things people could never foresee are not factored in originally.

So we do change whole systems to exclude minorities. Got it.

 

[Bostonian]

So we do change whole systems to exclude minorities. Got it.

People of all types get excluded from things all the time.

Most don't get the coverage this does.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Yes please, I’d absolutely love to play this.

It's a shame PES has not been good for about a decade.

 

[SnakeMan86]

I think you missed my point by citing Williams, and notice you ignored Semenya.

But this conversation will go nowhere productive with you.

Well at this stage it's mostly failed hack "sports" people who want to compete in women's sports.

Tall women on the whole are nowhere near as coordinated or explosive as a male their size.

6ft women in basketball might be tall relative to women, but 99.9% of them can't dunk a basketball.

The % of men that height who can is astronomically higher.

Serena Williams admitted she'd get smashed by much lower ranked male players in a match.

Just create trans leagues, fund them and let people enjoy sport without the controversy.

SM are you actually going to respond to the point or keep ignoring it.

And you keep labeling opposing views as Transphobes... So is Kaitlyn Jenner a transphobe? Is Youtuber Blair White a transphobe?

Is it racist to not refer to Oli London as Korean?

Lazy name calling

I actually moved on from the conversation as I noted in my quote there, there was nowhere productive for it to go with the poster in question. I have no idea who Blair White is nor what views Kaitlyn Jenner has supposedly produced.

Your comprehension skills seem quite poor though if you think my point was that you have to agree to allow trans athletes or you're a transphobe. I said that the majority of people who have that opinion have that belief rooted in transphobia, I didn't say all.
