This argument is irrelevant in the end because trans women are women. Even if it were true that some trans women have a net advantage due to having gone through a male puberty, It’s okay to have biological advantages in sports. That’s kind of the point of sports, no? As long as they’re taking hrt to get rid of the bulk of the advantages a male body brings I don’t see what the issue is.

The second you exclude trans women, it is no longer a women’s division.

Oh boy… are 6 armed protogens in our future? 🤔

I have seen this happen in real life. The vehicle was exactly what you would expect it would be

Just blocking the community doesn’t prevent the users in that community from harassing minorities and generally spreading disinformation and hate. It’s offloading extra moderation work to every instance who federates with them. Unless that instance is also okay with fascists interacting in bad faith, of course.

Impeaching Biden over nothing while at the same time censuring Schiff for impeaching Trump. Wow

Thank you for taking user input and taking action based on it! It gives me confidence this instance is in good pawbs!

Meta is an enemy. It’s not about their misuse of user data, that’s already public. They have a track record of promoting the growth of facism, misinformation, conspiracies, etc. with their algorithm, targeted advertisements, and moderation policies. It’s not worth the server load allowing them to federate with us for even one second. I don’t see what could possibly be gained by letting some generally right wing normies interact with a furry instance. I wouldn’t touch whatever they’re doing with a 20 foot pole.

Whatever form Meta’s fediverse project takes, it should be opposed at every opportunity because it is in our best interests for their project to fail.

Conservatives here have a different definition of “freedom”. They want to be free from being bound by the laws yet still be protected by them, whereas minorities should be bound by the laws, but not protected by them. This is how conservatives in this country are both the party of “law and order” and the party of “personal freedom”.

One resource that helped me get started is Shifter, a youtube channel that focuses on bike commuting advice and gear recommendations. A link to some Park Tool basic repair help playlists might be good as well.
