thanks AV

Absolutely brilliant that I didn’t even have to give context and you knew EXACTLY what I was talking about

Thank you for the link! I couldn’t remember the names or where it happened but I thought of the story immediately

Horrifyingly enough this actually happened lmao

That was awesome of you, I used a VPN but thank you for finding versions for anyone without one! 🫡

This clip being unavailable in america is certainly not any indication

I’ve seen something about this pop up occasionally on my feed, but it’s usually a conversation I’m nowhere close to understanding lol

Could you recommend any resources for a complete noob?

Just a heads up, if they force YouTube to ‘embrace faith based programming’ you’re allowed to start killing people, it’s in the constitution

The inaccurate perception is pretending like any amount of political will should be expended on barring trans people from school sports regardless of how many there are.

Congrats on your personal experience it does not change the fact that this is fucking stupid. Fencing is not an NCAA sport you’re just doing agitprop for fascists by implying that a fencing club is the same as a sanctioned competitive sport jesus fucking christ. You also are not speaking for all trans people by pointing out your experience of being overrepresented in YOUR school fencing club that is not subject to oversight by the governing sports body FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.

I’m quoting the person in charge of the organization and youre quoting a personal anecdote that is fifteen years old. Who is skewing perception of the current state of collegiate athletics?

Okay? Who cares? If 60% of college athletes were transgender it doesn’t change the fact this is fascist biological essentialism and explicitly exists to harm those it targets. You are trying to create a spectre that does not exist. Stop acting like it matters what number of trans athletes this harms.

Only 10 trans athletes

I’m getting that number from the president of the NCAA

When I’m in a schizophrenic rantings competition and my opponent is an American Christian:

There are probably more people with tetanus than there are trans college athletes. There’s literally only 10 of them. It is by definition a moral panic. The people crying about it are lying and evil.
