Transgender - Part 2

[Gethelred]

Please be aware that the tolerance of anti-trans language on BF is at an all-time low. Jokes and insults that are trans-related, as well as anti-trans and bigoted rhetoric will be met with infractions, threadbans etc as required. It's a sensitive (and important) topic, so behave like well-mannered adults when discussing it, PARTICULARLY when disagreeing. This equally applies across the whole site.

Not to worry - Big Pharma has been talking up the H5N5 Avian Flu lately

When it spreads to humans and everyone's an extra in Lockdown II :GigaLockdown and the only vaccine is via 6G human chipset integration 24/7 Bigfooty is a guarantee!

Can't wait to get BigFooty access directly to my brain, that way I can absorb more of the high quality content while I sleep.

I don’t know if it’s me but it seems the only heavy coverage women’s sports gets is when a transgender individual is involved. Case in point strongest woman competition

WSM (or woman) is a pretty niche sport that only gets coverage in specific circles. Thor drags coverage to the men because he was in Game of Thrones.

Women's tennis, athletics or swimming all see fairly similar levels of coverage to the men's events.

Conservative media loves to drum up outrage about transgender athletes at any opportunity they get, but it's not really about the coverage for women's sport since they almost definitely wouldn't have covered it otherwise.

The consequences of this bullshit


...starting in the first year after anti-transgender laws were enacted, there were statistically significant increases in rates of past-year suicide attempts among TGNB young people ages 13–17 in states that enacted anti-transgender laws, relative to states that did not, and for all TGNB young people beginning in the second year. Enacting state-level anti-transgender laws increased incidents of past-year suicide attempts among TGNB young people by 7–72%...

State-level anti-transgender laws increase past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-binary young people in the USA - Nature Human Behaviour

From 2018 to 2022, 48 anti-transgender laws were enacted in the USA across 19 states. This study shows that these anti-transgender laws increased past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-binary young people by as much as 72%.

Wow. Chick Fil-A's certainly changed its tune. This is from 2018 in the Before Times, from The Ago, the era before COVID;

Chick-fil-A’s Creepy Infiltration of New York City

When the first stand-alone location opened, in 2015, Mayor de Blasio proposed a boycott. Now the city seems to have accepted the chain’s brand of deep-fried Christian traditionalism.

April 13, 2018

...New York has taken to Chick-fil-A. One of the Manhattan locations estimates that it sells a sandwich every six seconds, and the company has announced plans to open as many as a dozen more storefronts in the city. And yet the brand’s arrival here feels like an infiltration, in no small part because of its pervasive Christian traditionalism. Its headquarters, in Atlanta, are adorned with Bible verses and a statue of Jesus washing a disciple’s feet.

Its stores close on Sundays.

Its C.E.O., Dan Cathy, has been accused of bigotry for using the company's charitable wing to fund anti-gay causes, including groups that oppose same-sex marriage. “We’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation,” he once said, “when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.’ ” The company has since reaffirmed its intention to “treat every person with honor, dignity and respect,” but it has quietly continued to donate to anti-L.G.B.T. groups...

It's just weird the obsession that conservatives have with transgender people, considering they constitute such a small percentage of the population. I've noticed on most media sites too that, much like with LGB people, they choose the most flamboyant transgender people to focus on and make it seem like that is what the majority of transgender people, when in reality, like LGB the majority are quiet, non-confrontational people who just want to live their lives free from harrasment. It really is perverse.

Conservative parties world-wide are running a similar playbook. Blame everything on <others> and say that only they (the conservative party) can fix it by getting rid of <others>.

Gay folk are pretty socially accepted these days, so they focus on easier targets - transgender people and immigrants.

I reckon if a transphobic person’s internet browser search history was made public most would reveal the truth about their obsession with trans people……..
