I am a lifelong liberal and I cannot fathom a reality in which I would ever vote for a republican.
I am just dumbfounded that we find ourselves in a situation where democrats (again) have been dragged into some stupid culture war that impacts ~1% or less of the population. How the hell we engage on stuff like this is beyond me, but here we are.
The salient question is this: “why do we have “women’s” sports at all? We do for painfully obvious reasons. Men are, on average: bigger, stronger, faster, etc. There are obviously outliers. Also, Chase Ealey can kick my ass in every strength competition.
It is patently unfair that people born “male” (x/y) ever compete in a protected category. The category is protected for a reason. Please don’t try to argue otherwise, you sound stupid and obnoxious and you’re ruining it for everyone. I’m of the belief that all of these culture war fights are started by republicans so we can get more drunken Catholics (oh, and Clarence Thomas’s) on the Supreme Court to poison the environment, enrich dickheads, and take away the rights of …everyone but white males.
To address the “what about Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, etc” idiots: yes, within categories there are outliers, but outliers are what make sport interesting, so long as they fall within the framework of the categories (heretofore know as “men and women” but, perhaps should be renamed “XY” and “XX” to protect the feelings of the unbelievably vocal 1%). If you want to settle the debate, ask yourself how fair (or fun or interesting) it would be to have Nikola Jokic in the WNBA, or Mbappe on the French women’s World Cup team (he would score at will. Possibly every time he got the ball). Mike Tyson, today, would mop the floor with every female boxer, possibly all at once.
Thanks to you idiots, more republicans are going to get elected. When in, power, they are going to take your rights away. Well done! Enjoy your poisoned environment, your Brett Kavanaughs, your book burnings, your lack of healthcare…your President Desantis.
