  • i actually don't support these laws because they historically always just get used against the left and never against the right. fascism isn't defeated by the government banning it, it's defeated on the street. Also from a long time back, one of the proposed amendments to this bill was the following text (i dont know if it was in the final bill)

    all other extremist groups which seek to promote fascism, communism, anarchism, bigotry and violence in our community

    we also know that in places like germany where nazi symbols are banned they just invent new more obscure ones anyway














  • potential justification of ban follows

    this is probably the worst part, like i guess there can be some argument made about fairness for trans women (eg. the usual reason men are better at chess is that they are taught from younger ages, so a woman transitioning later in life could have an advantage that isn't erased by transition). but removing trans mens titles shows its purely coming from a place of transphobia rather than actually caring about womens sport >:(

    its all bullshit though because there is fuck all trans players and afaik they aren't winning tournaments. and also the 'advantage' that trans women have is likely cancelled out by being trans, and theres nothing stopping people from coaching cis women from a young age.
