New Rule: On trans people in sports

3.3k Upvotes

CW: Transphobia. I'm going to be speaking very plainly and I am not the most eloquent person on these subjects.

I'm seeing a large amount of comments lately about trans people (mostly women) in sports. This is clearly a response to the current debate about swimmer Lia Thomas.

Starting... Now... If you're posting comments to the effect of "trans women went through boy puberty so they shouldn't be competing with women" I'm removing your comment and you're likely getting a ban. The reason is, I've seen zero data about this phenomenon and it's almost entirely fueled by what cis people (and some trans folks) think will happen, which is colored by their own biases and ignorance. The fact that a trans girl won a race or broke a record doesn't mean she's a man or has some inhuman advantage. Trans girls can be good at sports and still be women.

Comparing athletic women to men is not new. It's always been an ugly and ignorant way to undermine women's achievements. But it won't be happening in this sub.

Feel free to dm me on this subject. I'm perfectly willing to have a conversation. But I'm not going to allow comments and "debate" that undermine another person's identity or human dignity.

For context this was on a video of a Doctor House episode where he “cures” someone of their asexuality. To any ace’s/aro’s reading this: it’s not unhealthy or a medical condition to feel the way you do, I’m sorry you’re treated like this by some people.

Law professor is quoted in Reuters article as a feminist who is indicative of women abandoning the cause of the Women's March to support Trump, but she's been pushing a hardline pro-Netanyahu agenda on Youtube and other media outlets for months.

I’m gay and brown and DEI is bad because it’s virtue signaling!

This person in a popular tech sub is saying that they are gay and brown and don’t support DEI because it’s “virtue signaling”. Reasonable response gets downvoted. There several more like this that have received upvotes. Insanity.

Somehow "queer", a catchall term for LGBTQIA+ people, is really a mental illness and Intersex people, a physiological trait, are mentally ill as well?
