I think a lot of them would be hard pressed to name a single female athlete.
Ryyyyyyyan
It's hatred and fear mongering. It's building straight up to genocide.
doctorbocker
I think maybe people care too much about sports, period.
Rasayana
I'm a firm believer that I should not in any capacity exercise power (if I had any) over sports policy, because ...
Rasayana
... that would make *everyone* hate me.

The fear of being injured by a teen boy transitioning and competing against girls is actually very real.

Can I name a NSFW team?

If its a government thing, it shouldn't be allowed to discriminate based on sex at all. If it isn't, do what you feel like.

BubblesTheFish
Uh oh, I thought the WNBA was the team name.
BubblesTheFish
But on the real though. I hate sports, but womens' sports are objectively better. They play faster and don't flop.
Rogahar
There was an article circulating about how a trans kid spiked a volleyball into another girl's face so hard it broke her nose and I was >
Rogahar
> happy to see the comments mostly full of people saying 'Tell me you've never played women's volleyball without telling me.' and the like.
Rogahar
Anybody whose school had a girl's volleyball team knew you did NOT fuck with them. They regularly give each other shiners and concussions >
Rogahar
> anyway, one or two of the players being trans isn't going to change that in either direction lol
RagingNorseman
Unfair! No one knows any WNBA teams.
thedocpeps
Your comment has proven that only 3 people know 3 different teams. WnBa ShOuLd Be PaId BeTtEr

The Ace’s just won the WNBA championship. We had a parade in front of a couple buildings. It stopped traffic.

Seattle storm. Most championships in Seattle sports.

Sue Bird's career is one of the most legendary in any sport. Too bad she couldn't end it with one last trophy.

Only professional basketball team in Seattle too!

You made me laugh and broke my heart at the same time.

I don't live in Seattle anymore, but still that one hurts.

What happened to Supersonics?

Drafted Kemp I'm 1989 instead of Divac thus insuring no support for Gary Payton the next year.

Let's be real, the sonics were only a pro team for a few years.

Trans men killed them all for their delicious testosterone. Why do you think we're so afraid?

They dissapeared a long time ago. Where you been?

Not following NBA since.... Barkley retired or something. I think Toronto Raptors played their first season.

ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
Trans women have been able to compete in the olympics for about 2 decades. Name ONE trans medalist if we are so awesome at sports.
applesforjuice
Caitlyn Jenner
ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
Not post-transition she wasn't.
MarioBoon
Heidi Krieger.
ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
You mean Andreas Krieger (he's a trans man), and he did not compete post-transition.
Bimmler
That's really odd. Quinn and Lauren Hubbard are listed as the first ever trans Olympic athletes in 2021. Do you have source?
ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
I think they are the first to qualify, which says a lot about the fictional 'trans advantage'. https://www.transathlete.com/olympics
Bimmler
Yes I thought a bit about it after writing the comment and figured this is what you meant.
ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
In 2003 trans athletes were first allowed. The first trans athlete (a trans man) to qualify under their proper gender was 2015.
ThatOtherGirlYouKnow
If there was any advantage to fielding trans athletes, you'd bet that countries like Russia would have teams full of us.
JCstormz
another easy trip up question is asking them how many trans HS athletes are in their state.
DidItForScience
I don't see that as something they need to know. It's not like I know how many fascists work downtown. They just need to fuck off.
gambor
The difference is 1 is too many fascists.
DidItForScience
Yes and fascist feel the same about people they don't like. It's not about asking for details. It's the ideology itself that is questioned.
gambor
The premise of the bans is that they are protecting competitive integrity. The question asks them to back up that premise.
gambor
Meanwhile, a premise of fascists are bad only requires knowledge that there are fascists to remove to justify removal.
paintingagency
> how many fascists work downtown. ... does this include the police department?
JCstormz
well with how much laws are being pushed you would think its a plague of girl sports being dominated by trans guys
jiynxed
My kid is the only one in the county at least and he's not even playing a school sport. The whole team was like "huh. Cool" when he came out
jiynxed
Hell, several of them had though he was just a cis dude with an androgynous face.
Rogahar
Damn that had to be validating as fuck for him to find out. And you seem to be a good parent. ?
jiynxed
One tries. I have occasionally cued up "make a man outta you" from Mulan when he does his testosterone dosing. It gets a laugh every time.
staceyjorgenson31415
Good for him ??
Fawin
The Washington Mystics. I still don't watch sports though. I'm just familiar with teams from the DC area.
komododave
Mens teams have a lot of bold aggressive names. WNBA team names seem to be vaguely sinister.
Fawin
Also to be clear, I don't really care who plays what. Let everyone have fun and play the way they like.
DisgruntledFerret
Ah, because of the Washington Wizards. ...I guess 'Washington Witches' was uh, perhaps not as popular.
dunkum09
didnt they win the championship a couple years back, as well as the Nats and the Caps?
Harryteeters
I grew up being utterly disappointed by DC sports so those were some welcome victories. If only the Skins could get their act together
dunkum09
for the beginning of RG3's first season it looked promising, then just nothing since
Fawin
I wasn't in town for the Nats or the Mystics big wins, but when the Caps won the Stanley Cup, it was a mad house!
Fawin
They even had a parade!
dunkum09
I mostly just remember a lot of memes celebrating the 3 wins and also making fun of the Skins for being so bad
TalkingSnake
Better yet, name one trans youth athlete you are so afraid of.
GpaSags
Some of the states banning them don't even have any.
TalkingSnake
But they gotta scare the kids to conform. Never be honest. Do as your told...
Xenarion
Not youth, but Caitlyn Jenner
TalkingSnake
Who has never competed as a trans woman outside of old fogeys playing or some shit.
Xenarion
Wasn't she a professional golfer or something?
TalkingSnake
Who knows or cares to what degree a retiree could be a professional golfer.
Xenarion
It's more the hypocrisy of a former transgender athlete being so against transgender athletes.
Xenarion
Nevermind, I remembered wrong.
AntiProtonBoy
Janae Marie Kroc, she will fuck you up.
TalkingSnake
So there's a ln adult trans female body builder. If you got an issue with her competing in body building competitions (because we all care -
AntiProtonBoy
I think you missed the joke.
TalkingSnake
about those so much right?) talk to the organization in charge of the completely optional event for grown ups. Sick of hearing randos crying
Giantmutantcrab
Found the incel
TalkingSnake
No, just no.
kaoticgirl
I thought we were pro- trans in sports here. Can someone explain why DVs for this comment? & Calling them an incel?
NunyaBNess1
Not 100%, but I think TalkingSnake is getting downvoted for taking offensive when none was intended. The incel remark was uncalled for tho.
MelodyLightfoot
Not condoning it at all but Cherokee County district in NC canceled all games with Highlands School recently after one girl spiked a ball 1/

I 100% think it's bull considering the ammount of injuries they cause to each other to begin with.
TalkingSnake
Volleyball has injuries all the fucking time. It’s not a contact sport but it does have a projectile. No one tries to ban baseball when -

read the next line from me in the thead, thank you.
iwanttobebobdylan
doubleormuffin
But you KNOW that if a cis female athlete did the exact same thing, there would be no retaliation.
MelodyLightfoot
yes, which is why my next line in the thread was "I 100% think it's bull considering the ammount of injuries they cause to each othther"
MelodyLightfoot
And why i prefaced this with I don't condone it, and why I called them both girls... because they are. I'm just pointing out that the bigots
