    Now, what did we see in reality?

    We saw a middling to low level male power lifter make the Olympics at 43. That’s insane.

      No, we saw a trans woman who had radically altered her biological make-up through use of female hormones, train rigorously, and then perform within the same range as cis women, ultimately failing to place and looking at retirement.

      And now we see you in denial about that factual reality because you simply can’t get over your hate. You’re letting your emotions rule your thinking on this.

      Also, you’re not even correct about the age being some massive barrier, Lidia Valentin also competed in olympics at 36, going so far as to weigh in for the subsequent Olympics and only ultimatelt retired due to an injury.

      It’s irrational to ban people based simply on their status of being trans as trans people vary widely in their physical ability and biological make-up.

        Eh…I’m all the words according to Lemmy. The crowd here seems to all be 13-22 year old ultra liberals. I’m liberal, just not hardcore bleeding edge jump of the left cliff liberal.

          Liberals are just conservatives that haven’t taken their mask off yet. We are progressives, and leftists, and I’m older than you think
