    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?

          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.”

        Lol this is the price you pay. If you want information, sometimes it won’t be filtered through your preferred mouthpiece.

        And I’m not even tankie-adjacent.

          Small price to pay tbh. Its not like asking cost me anything, and I definitely dont care enough to block less tankies over it.

          Edit: Also I get my high like to dislike ratio, but yours I find weird, as its fair?

            Oof don’t ever mention likes unless you want downvotes.

            I can’t even see my ratio on my client, but that’s the oldest rule in the book.

        A large woman beat small woman in boxing. Larger woman isn’t conventionally attractive and the small one claimed she’s trans, but she’s not.

        Something something she might have XY chromosomes, but who knows and who cares? 🤷‍♂️

        Now right wingers are trying to say people born with vaginas can be men which is hypocritical.

        Also the crybaby loser that’s upset she got hit in a boxing match is/was a cop, so fuck her who gives a shit?

        Oh and Jake Paul was saying some shit. Holy fuck I’m so tired of all this.

          The small one did not claim that the big one is trans. The small.one is not the person making allegations here and has apologized for not shaking hands.

          LMAO, they’re seriously saying someone with a vagina can be a man and not putting 2 and 2 together!?

          … Fuck man, wait, that’s totally believable…

          I hate this world…

            That IS what they’re saying.

            It’s absolutely fucking ridiculous.

            I’m so fucking tired of the public discourse being basic human decency VS some absurdly insane fucking bullshit presented like it should matter.

            Like come the fuck on. Quit being fucking weird.

            I’m at the point where I will seriously punch a dude in the fucking mouth for even bringing it up.

            Trans rights are human rights and I’m not going to pretend like they’re not. It shouldn’t even be an issue.

              I more mean I hate it because this level of incompatible thinking is unfortunately super common (As in I probably do it in different topics myself
