So, I've had moments in the past where I might have spent 30 seconds thinking about this subject but ultimately I don't give a fuck about competitive sports so my analysis usually ends up being, all competitive sports should be banned because competitive sports are dumb. Which is admittedly a neanderthal take.
But yeah, now the global athletic showdown is going down and seemingly everyone in my immediate vicinity keeps clutching their pearls and I guess I'm sick of not being able to advocate for trans comrades appropriately and articulate a proper response.
So what's a better response besides, "who cares?" Am I missing something? Like, if all things were equitable, what would or should competitions look like?
Help me out. I honestly have no idea.
Olympics famously bans people for having like high testosterone, specifically black and brown people. Its like old school racism and misogyny of course. Going by the whole oh "Man naturally strong, high testosterone woman weak low testosterone" is very ignorant and also pretty specifically discriminatory towards intersex folk too.
But yeah of course people might not even listen all the above stuff.
The bottomline is that its pretty much excluding people from sports or any other thing by some rigid eugenicist beliefs.
Other than all that I don't know. Anyone saying X sport used to be good until they allowed people who are gay or trans players is just trying be hateful. They want to target and push people to corners. Its not the sanctity of the game or whatever its plain hatred. When this gets to an international level it of course becomes exclusionary of any third world people as I mentioned above.
Its whites only with a different branding.
