Apologies if this has already been discussed, but has anyone seen this video of Joe Rogan and others discussing trans athletes and women's sports? I think it was a good discussion and can't understand how someone could still scream bigotry at these very valid points. Hope the link works

Which one is Joe Rogan? And who is the British bloke?

It's such ridiculous nonsense that I don't understand how it ever got to this stage, where huge hulks (as happened in commonwealth games) can compete against diminutive women. With a big fucking smug smirk on their face, as if they'd won through talent.

I can't see how anyone could not agree with the points raised to be honest. Maybe mansplainy was the wrong word. I think it's just frustrating seeing men say, as if they've just thought of it, what we've been saying for ages. But regardless, it's good to see men 'getting it'

I didn't find it mansplainy. He's trying to show the bullshit.

Care to elaborate? Quick browse shoes he is critical of organised religion, thinks we should move away from factory farming and kill what we eat ourselves, is for the decriminalisation of cannabis, anti infant circumcision.. what else am I missing? Seems reasonable so far but I doubt there are many people out there I'm going to agree with 100% Did you watch the video? It's a discussion on trans people in sports that raises very good points

Yes I'm just discovering him, seems very reasonable.

It's unfortunate that he also as quite a few other views on things that you may not agree with but hay if he supports your view it's all good I suppose

Joe Rogan, while some of his views I think veer on the biological determinist side, is always on the money wrt this particular subject.

He's got quite a few videos on trans stuff. It's very mansplainy but we need men to discuss it.
