Trans swimmer breaks New Jersey college record after switching from men's team to women's

(I'm 225 West (I'm also Not a hating hateful hater but on a different device))

With your last sentence I agree: this is not just about fairness, it is also about reality. Since I do not believe that biological males are females, I will not refer to them with female pronouns. Since I do not believe that any one person is plural, I will not refer to him or her with "their," a plural pronoun. I do not wish to lie about my beliefs by using pronouns that are false with respect to what I, and I think a high majority of people, believe. I do not want to hurt someone struggling with gender dysphoria by suggesting that I believe in his or her gender self-identification. I doubt that you want to hurt them either, but I think your arguments harm the people you purport to help. I'm in Manhattan: I see gender dysphoric people more than infrequently, and what they've done and have had done to themselves is horrific.

Why stop with respecting someone' self identified gender? How about criminal guilt? Suppose an inmate convicted of a heinous crime has come to believe in his own innocence. Why should I disrespect that any more than a male identifying as a female or a female identifying as a male? Why should he not be freed from legal confinement? Is the inmate's self-identification any less credible?

As I wrote above in this thread, accusations of hate are so overdone, and you have provided substantiation with another false accusation of hate.

Umm, it is the gender dysphoric who do not accept themselves as they are. They, instead, believe they require horrific, often irreversible, surgeries, and a poisonous barrage of opposite biological-sex hormones, and an onslaught of poisonous suppressors of their biological-sex hormones so that they can become who they truly think they are, having, somehow, been born into the wrong body, whereas I, and I think a high majority of people, believe - and this is an immensely more scientifically parsimonious explanation - the gender dysphoric are thinking very badly.

A convicted felon has done something that negatively affects other people's lives. So it goes back to the question of "what have trans people have done that negatively affects your life?" Or outside of competitive sports, what have they done to negatively affect other people's lives?

You say people with gender dysphoria have done "horrific" things to themselves. What are those things? Why do you think those things are horrific? What do you think of people who are happier after their gender identity is affirmed? Do you dismiss their stories? Do you also dismiss macro data about the gender affirming care and the trans people's mental health?

Aside from gender affirming care, what other major medical decisions do you think you should make for other people? In what ways are you more qualified than medical professionals in making those decisions? In what other areas do you distrust major medical organizations?

Well, clearly it was stated 'poisonous' chemicals, but it's also clearly inferred that self mutilating surgery is pretty horrific.

I can see this stuff is difficult for you and this explains it.

I add that the gender dysphoric given these drugs excrete them into the environment where they can wreak havoc: the presence of synthetic hormones and hormone suppressors in the environment may be the cause of all sorts of sexual problems, including gender dysphoria.

The long explanations are unnecessary. It doesn’t change the fact that the underlying emotion is hate. Similar arguments can and were made for why homosexuals blah bleh bloh. It all just comes down to an unwillingness to accept a group of people, a people that have been around and documented ever since mankind started tracking history, a people that are just trying to live freely and pursue happiness like everyone else.

Since you asked, here's a short video showing just a few of the many occasions in the past 5 years when trans-identified males and their allies have menaced, screamed at, spat on and physically assaulted women like me - and openly advocated that we be punched, raped, and killled in wide variety of extremely violent gruesome ways. All in an attempt to frighten us so that we'll be too cowed to speak out on behalf of girls' and women's rights to fairness and safety in sports; free speech; and privacy, dignity, safety, comfort, peace of mind and freedom from male instrusion, "the male gaze," male perving and male sex offenses like dick flashing in spaces meant for females like women's locker rooms, restrooms, shelters, rape crisis centers, domestic violence refuges and prisons. The footage in this particular montage is from England, Scotland, New Zealand and the USA (WA, CA and NY states).

Also, since you asked, here's a recent case from your home state of California:

Earlier this month, Hannah Tubbs - a transgender-identified male convicted serial pedophile who previously bragged about successfully “gaming the system” in Los Angeles to get leniency after being found guilty of sexually assaulting little girls - was sentenced to 15 years behind bars for beating a 22 year-old male friend to death with a rock.

Born James Tubbs, the 27-year-old was previously sentenced to two years in juvenile hall in January 2022 after being convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in the bathroom of a Denny's restaurant when Tubbs was still a minor himself.

Prior to being found guilty in that child molestation case in Los Angeles, Tubbs had been convicted of carrying out a similar sex attack on a four-year-old girl in the bathroom of a public library in Bakersfield. Tubbs is also suspected of committing another sex attack on different four-year-old girl in the bathroom at a children’s toy store, also in California.

Now Tubbs has accepted a plea deal resulting in a conviction for manslaughter and 15 years in prison for beating to death Michael Clark with a rock in April 2019.Tubbs was originally charged with first-degree murder, threatening a witness, robbery and assault in the Clarke case.

Clarke, from College Place, WA, was camping in Kern County, CA when he was robbed and beaten to death by Tubbs. Prosecutors said Clarke and Tubbs were friends who joined a “survivalist transient group” together. Clarke's father claimed his son had lived with Tubbs for a time.

In accordance with California law, Tubbs has been referred to as “female,” “treated as woman” and called she/her throughout the legal proceedings related to his killing of Clarke and the sex crimes against the little girl he attacked in the Denny’s restroom.

Since you asked, here's another trans-identified male from California who's been in the news of late for being a vicious, cold-blooded killer.

The difference is that whereas Hannah Tubbs murdered a male friend by beating him to death with a rock at a campsite in Kern County, Dana Rivers murdered a lesbian couple he knew by stabbing and shooting them as they slept in their bed in Oakland - then Rivers murdered their adopted teenage son, a refugee from Africa, and set the family's house on fire.

California to put trans murderer of lesbian couple in WOMEN's prison

Dana Rivers, 68, was convicted in November of the 2016 murder of a lesbian couple and their son (right). She was sentenced on June 14, and sent to a women's prison.

After Dana Rivers was convicted of triple murder for slaughtering lesbian couple Charlotte Reed and Patricia Wright in their bed, then murdering their 19-year-old adopted son Benny Diambu-Wright for good measure, Rivers was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Despite Rivers' long track record of behavior showing animus, resentment, envy, covetousness, rage and violent urges towards women (the female kind), California authorites decided to send Rivers to a women's prison - where Rivers has been accused of "preying on" female inmates.

I doubt Verbosa has any respect for statistics that goes against its biases, but the relevant comparison metric would be the fraction of transwomen committing crimes vs the fraction of all people committing comparable crimes.

It’s rather strange to expect transfolk alone to be the epitome of citizenry perfection.

Your post is garbage and has nothing to do with transgender athletes. You’re showing your real colors.

He didn't explain why those chemicals are "poisonous." If they are so poisonous, why are they not banned? Is FDA part of the conspiracy? Maybe Frank Thomas should be arrested for advertising poison.

And since you mentioned "self-mutilating" surgery, are you also against the surgery on children with DSD?

This is explicitly allowed in state laws that ban gender affirming care for minors. They try to ban intersex women from women's sports by ignoring their existence. But then they make sure that doctors will be allowed to operate on them without their consent. That's how hypocritical they are.

Yes, CNN & MSNBC are scumbags spreading lies and looking for sympathy through obvious cheating. You need help cramister. Your bias is understandable, you support the goofiest crap and always will, but your ignorance is off the charts. This is just wrong and you are clearly a scared liberal for what's about to happen on November 5th, 2024. Good luck mate.

So gender dysphoria can be caused by hormone blockers before a trans person gets the first dose?

How is that even possible? Do you also think someone could get Covid by vaccine they have not received?

As always, you keep making up those "facts" that have no basis on reality. Yeah, you have the right to determine my "home state" because you are the Great RunRagged. Just like you are entitled to determine so many other things.

And yes, some trans people behave badly, and even commit crimes. If they commit crimes, they deserve to be punished for the crime they committed, not for being trans. Being in trans is not a criminal offense, contrary to your personal belief.

Would you just register already so people can knowingly skip past your pro-trans perma-spam on these boards without thinking it's a new person; icicle, peckle, etc, etc. just pick one name and register.

Oh c'mon, mate. I've never said or suggested that adopting a trans identity is a criminal offense or should be one. I actually support policies and laws thar protect people from being unfairly discriminated against on gender presentation and gender identity grounds. But I don't think people who adopt an opposite-sex gender identity actually change their sex and must be treated as though they are the opposite-sex.

As a result, I'm not gonna pledge fealty to male supremacy and promise to bow,, scrape, fawn, coddle and placate males who claim to be girls/women according to the code of conduct set forth in the preposterous profession of the faith/oath of allegience to gender identity ideology that peckle posted upthread.

Furthermore, I don't stereotype all trans-identified males as sweet, angelic, tender-hearted, "feminine" doe-eyed innocents whose liking for "girly" things means they couldn't possibly cause harm to others the way you do. I see trans-identified males as a mixed and varied lot, just like the rest of the male population. Some are nice people. A lot of them seem like selfish, entitled dickhead egomaniacs. Some are pervs and predators.

I also reject the view that males who adopt a trans identity are "the most vulnerable and marginalized members of society" and they all suffer worse, far deeper pain and face more hardships than anyone else.

I disagree with the notion that trans-identified male people are a sacred vaunted caste whose feelings, desires, dreams and goals count more than anyone else's. I think the demands and expectations that a great many trans-identified males - and allies like you - are making of girls and women and society in general today are unreasonable.

In particular, I don't believe that accommodating trans-identified males' demand for inclusion in the places established for females where males don't belong should be given precedence over holding the line to protect the hard-won rights of female people.

I don't believe I or any other women or girls have a moral duty to cater to these males by denying reality, forfeiting our hard-won rights, playing along with their male fantasies, propping up their pie-in-the-sky self-images, showing fealty to their belief system, stroking their egos and feeding their narcissism by giving them and their gender identities the massive amounts of fawning attention, approval, "affirmation" and "validation" they and other blokes like you and peckle insist is their due.

Huh, no, request denied. It’s idiotic to expect me to care to cater to someone like you. It anyway doesn’t take half a brain to recognize me given how easy I make it.

It's surely more effort to keep coming up with new pseudonyms in a desperate attempt to make people think your rapidly-nearing-extinction world view is more popular than it actually is. Just take pride in your position and own it, with one identity.
