Had to look back to see who caused all the trouble....it was you! ....with that icky hyperpartisan propaganda channel, for shame.
Ugh. They spend the entire video misgendering this person. How distasteful.Had to look back to see who caused all the trouble....it was you! ....with that icky hyperpartisan propaganda channel, for shame.
But yeah, the story of this person is absurd.
(two things are true at the same time)
Well perhaps it would have been smart to get Pew or another well respected source to do actual research.A lot of misinformation and bias in that op-ed
It's seemingly impolite, most likely intentionally impolite considering that toxic channel's obvious agenda when you look through their videos, but the old definition of gender is that it's 1:1 with sex and the new definition is that gender identifies socially constructed traditionally male/female characteristics, so one group is still working from the old definition and one from the new. People should always agree on what language they're going to speak before they even bother trying to speak them, otherwise they're just talking past each other using words the other doesn't understand. Sports should flip their rules to sex instead of gender so it properly conveys their original intent regardless of where one stands on the definitions.Ugh.

Yeah, the issue is, this person has said "I am a woman" and so calling them anything but is rude as fuck and intentionally denigrating. It's like using the n-word with a hard R just because "society used to think that's okay." Fuck them for their bigotry.It's seemingly impolite, most likely intentionally impolite considering that toxic channel's obvious agenda when you look through their videos, but the old definition of gender is that it's 1:1 with sex and the new definition is that gender identifies socially constructed traditionally male/female characteristics, so one group is still working from the old definition and one from the new.

It's more complex than that. Every word has had a difficult transition for years/decades when the definition changed. Even queer hasn't fully transitioned. There was a period when black was too coarse and African-American was pushed as the replacement, though black seems to have rolled back a bit into being acceptable, but here we sit and I honestly don't even know if black is fully okay. I agree with fuck them in particular, but not as a blanket rule.Yeah, the issue is, this person has said "I am a woman" and so calling them anything but is rude as fuck and intentionally denigrating.

The majority of people who actually responded to that poll, which amounted to 104 out of 615. I'd wager the vast majority of athletes don't actually care that much.
