It's Happening: Minnesota Fencing eliminates women's category entirely to protect men's feelings

It's so
'Well if you won't play my way with my rules, I'm taking my ball home with me so there nurrrrr',
isn't it?

if it's anything like the fencing club i am tangentially involved with, that means there will be no refreshments, no loo rolls being replaced when they run out etc etc.

hahahahaha! (the female fencers often bring refreshments too)

I hope that the mothers and other female volunteers stand down and leave all the work to the men folk.

The best thing wonen fencers can do is leave the men to it. And set up their own league.

So Minnesota fencing have been learning from the Labour Party - women’s activities are there on sufferance and on condition they prioritise men. Failure to do this means no women’s activities.

This is a good example of what I think is the motivating force in a lot of TRA reactions and counteractions: spite.

Many of the reactions to the SC ruling were spiteful, the declared intention to continue using women's toilets is spiteful, the saccharine-y expressions of support for our poor scared trans employees were spiteful...

Having said that, I now expect TRAs to do their DARVO mirroring thing and start accusing GC women of being ..spiteful!

It's what they do- not having anything original to say, they repeat our words and analyses back at us. Immature in the extreme.

It is a more honest response than simply have a men’s category and a mixed sex category they call ‘women’s’ which many sport do.

What a shit show. I can’t get my head around how people can think this is ok.

Shame is part of the attraction. Once shame is reduced they need to do more to feel that shame again - be more extreme and more harmful to those around them in order to achieve that same degree of arousal.

yes, it serves several purposes:

1. it alerts people who haven't a clue that this is going on, that women are being edged out of things.
2. It also puts TRA noses out of joint, something which will Force Them To Speak About it.
3. due to 2, see point 1 above.

Surely this will actually ‘disadvantage’ trans women though. All the trans identifying athletes we know of got nowhere when they were competing in the men’s division. It was only when they moved to the women’s that they had any sort of success.
If there’s no women’s division for them to invade then they won’t have any chance of winning.

Oh, it's gone! I agree, better if it had been left up.

And I was hoping someone would post the picture of the horse with the sign so I could save it for later.

i wish it had been left up there for all to see, tbh

tbh - and i speak as someone who fenced at school and later in the Army - i think at this stage we would be better if all the fuckers who allow men in women's competitions did this.

Visibly, publicly and all at the same time. And then, and only then, will the normies understand what is happening.

When other countries either send men to women's international competitions, or home grown talent can't get in because men take all the spots.

And then we have to fight for women's things again. We have done it before, and with less general support, i think.

It is fucking exhausting.

I was happier back in the day, when fetishists kept their fetish quiet.

I don’t see why we all need to welcome various paraphilia. It isn’t my job to reduce your shame at your own behaviour, chaps. Feel the shame and learn from it. Be better.

🤢

Yes this. It’s horrible and outrageous, but it’s not what trans-identifying male sports players who want into women’s categories want at all. It’s taking away their validation and power, and it’s effectively recognising that they’re causing a problem by being male in the female category.

I hope there’s plenty of support and funding for a women-only league or body (or a new body with single sex categories)

@TheTruthStingsis that your poster boy? How funny.

Labelle is also quite open about how he gets off on filling his nappy in front of unsuspecting (and obviously unconsenting) women.

Also, note the name of the cartoonist. Sophie Labelle. That's a trans-identifying male person who identifies as a "little," a person who role-plays being a child. That's combined with a nappy fetish. Labelle's most famous work is a fetish-motivated cartoon that's based on a photo of an real-world child.

It’s spam, he’s done it on multiple threads.

Don't feed the Interupteron!

@TheTruthStings so we can’t have a women’s sports category because women are hate filled and rotten to the core? OK. There I was thinking it was because men can’t bear being excluded from anything. They want all the toys, even other people’s.
