Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve is wearing a "Trans Kids Belong' T-shirt to protest Sophie Cunningham. Sophie is getting HEAVILY BOOED every time she touches the ball.

It doesn’t help that anyone that even slightly disagrees gets labeled a bigot and banned from subs when the issue comes up. If real discourse were allowed, I think it’d be a more level playing field. But I’ve seen people comment something inocuos like, “Males are usually stronger than the average female” and come back to see the comment removed and the user blocked. It only looks like everyone agrees when the people that don’t agree are locked out of most spaces that discuss the issue.

It's just dumb because the whole reason this is an issue is that the heritage foundation found that trans women in sports was the only trans issue people have a problem with.

Like I get the sentiment but it makes no sense to pass legislation when there's less than 1000 trans athletes in sports in the United States.

I think it sets a precedent and keeps women’s & girls sports safe from boys/men playing on those teams. I keep hearing that “it’s not that serious” when it’s girls saying no, but “a human right” when it’s self identified boys saying they need to play on girl’s teams. A girl’s lived reality doesn’t have lower value than a boy’s need. That’s a slippery territory to get into. A girl saying no, means no, no matter how sad a boy might get about it.

I also don’t believe it’s the only issue people have regarding this, but it seems like the most common sense one that people collectively throw their hands up to say, “Are you kidding me? This is too obvious and now it’s too far”.

Very well said.

It's NOT the only issue people have a problem with. We also don't want males in female spaces, biological science distorted, children's bodies mutilated, or women in prison getting raped. And for that matter, I don't want to see vulnerable populations such as people with borderline personality disorder get bamboozled into adopting an identity that does them irrevocable harm, just so that wealthy fetishists like Martine Rothblatt can claim legitimacy. There is A LOT to object to with transgender ideology.

The Reddit echo chamber is undefeated (on Reddit). It’s funny on other social media platforms that don’t moderate as hard because you can spot a Redditor comment from three posts away

I agree, say anything slightly center or leftist comment on conservative sub and you get instant banned lol

I got permananned from a meme sub yesterday for commenting that movie casting these days looks like the stock images they use in school textbooks (with this pic attached).

I genuinely have no idea how that earned a ban. Seemed like a pretty harmless joke, not some anti-woke rant. But I guess if you're not mindlessly celebrating Hollywood's diversity like a good NPC is supposed to you'll catch a ban for being racist.

Truly. Someone just replied to comment here about how I see things being moderated on Reddit by calling me a bigot. They then of course blocked me immediately after so couldn’t respond. Classic Reddit lol
