You know this isn't about male or female, it's about promoting hate.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago

It's weird, because having spent a lot of time with them, it always seemed to me, that a lot of "right-wingers" are misanthropes who just need a group to hate and a reason to hate said group. Then they acquire a right-wing (preferably radical) ideology and retroactively rationalize their hate with that. And I do know even self-defined far-right people (if not that many) who don't just blindly hate any group (I know, weird) but most of them in my opinion just hate everyone and everything but only letting you know about the minorities don't like.

Every cuntservative talking point is a lie wrapped around a kernel of truth that they don't even care if it makes sense as long as they feel it gives them permission to hate.

I'm slow and missed this week's news cycle. What the hell is going on?

Does this have to do with the Olympic Boxing thing?

What's the Olympics boxing thing?

[–] [email protected] 166 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Boxer from Algeria beat an Italian boxer in something like 46 seconds.

Algerian girl had been previously banned from a boxing event after some "confidential" test determined she didn't qualify. Later,the boxing group said she had XY chromosomes but no solid evidence. Olympics tested her and she passed. She was born a girl and always lived as a girl, being trans is illegal in her country.

The right is insisting she is trans because of either the XY thing or a claim that she has high T levels (I don't think this has been confirmed). Suddenly they are acting like her genitals don't matter and she is a male anyway even without any evidence (at best she would be intersex from the chromosomes but not trans).

I’ve heard it being described as “the right thinks there’s two genders: men and fuckable. Anything they personally consider not fuckable is now being called the former.”

That is the smartest thing I've ever heard anyone say, ever. I wonder, is it fuckable or breedable?

Then you might like the saying about the two races: white and political.

Finally, it won't be gay to find femboys hot.

Funnily enough, with the fact that grindr crashes sometimes near republican conventions, they may think the same way. They would never admit it though, of course.

Oh I dunno. I've seen plenty of right wingers with hate symbols on their pickup trucks that definitely have some very grey areas between men and fuckable .

This can and should be the undoing of the mainstream MAGA/Tories fascist and transphobic BS we have been spoon-fed for the last 7 or so years.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can and should and won't. Remember: the SI unit for progress is the Funeral.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can you convert that to freedom units for me?

But they so earnestly care about fairness in women’s sports! \s

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (8 children)

You know, we should do a follow up with their logic and dare them to propose a ban to black athletes for having unfair advantages too.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

Which, um, used to be true?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (6 children)

Well I agree, we should continue with this logic. Unironically get rid of gender discriminatory leagues. My gender has nothing to do with whether someone 2ft taller than me will destroy me at basketball. Or genetic reflexes differences, etc. The only way to separate people based on genetic ability would be to separate based on performance(and this of course disadvantages people of average performance because of genetics, but above average technique/training/etc.)
