6’10” former Knicks and Celtics star formerly declares for the WNBA draft

I think the poster means that it is ‘fucking pathetic’ for men to take the piss out of men who are taking the piss out of women, which doesn’t really hold water as a philosophical position.

You’ve almost got to admire the bravado of these deeply right wing TRAs, though. Take Jojo Maugham - he’s pretty much installation art these days.

There are 28 trans athletes in one state alone. And you say 9 like it's no big deal. One, is ONE TOO MANY.

Misogynistic males are already taking the piss out of women's sport, and our spaces. By making it more blatantly obvious, the good males are proving a point. Any male, no matter how they identify, in women's sport or spaces is taking the piss. That's the entire point.

Yes you're quite right. The current WNBA's eligibility criteria is fucking pathetic. Or did you mean something else?

Absolutely fucking pathetic.

Sci**logy, apparently, has the cure for trapped souls causing us harm, although the full therapy is quite expensive, I believe.

Still realizing you have a trapped trans inside you is a powerful insight. It might explain my fear of heights.

😂😂😂

Interesting to see that the Sports Illustrated/Women's Fastbreak article , linked to by Helleofabore
https://www.si.com/onsi/womens-fastbreak/news/enes-kanter-freedom-wnba-letter-has-1-realistic-outcome

is in favour of basketball following the lead of other sporting bodies and testing to ID biological men/women
This is basically the same policy that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has adopted going forward. And while there are definitely some who oppose this, there are more supporters than detractors for both the WTA and the IOC policies.

BabaYagasHouse linked to another very interesting article, which points out that the WNBA already had a bio female transgender player, without controversy:
www.theknownheretic.com/p/why-is-nobody-talking-about-layshia

so the issue is not, as SC says, about trans players in women's basketball, been there done that, it's about male players in women's basketball.

BBC et al., please note🙄

Couldn't agree more. What it does do is show up what a bunch of shysters the Parliamentary Labour Party currently is, although they probably don't reflect the views of Party members, with only a handful of exceptions. How can a movement which exalts the rights of the individual over the common good be left-wing?

Yup, trying to paint gender critical beliefs as right wing is American cultural imperialism. In the UK, our most reliably GC political parties are far left. The Communists have been plugging away at this for years.

It’s never explained. In particular the ‘progressive left’ can never explain is why the genuine left wing readership of the Morning Star (peace & socialism ✌) are sex realists. Sex class analysis, a key part of class analysis, can’t exist without acknowledgement of the sex binary and the impact of it on society through human history.

It’s the ‘progressive left’ and the TRAs who are massively right wing. This can’t be said enough.

White sounds scarily convincing. He must be "trans" with insights like this.

Enes Kanter Freedom's WNBA Letter Only Has 1 Realistic Outcome
The WNBA must act quickly to move forward from the discourse surrounding transgender participation, and there's only one course of action to take.

It is a more than a bit dishonest of BBC to disconnect that paragraph from the sentence above.

“She said she wanted to "extend love" to everyone, but added: "I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."”

“She later doubled down on her comments, saying it was "common sense" to bar transgender athletes from competing in women's sports.”

No BBC! She only ever referred to the ‘biological men’. Disconnecting the sentences like that really makes it open for misrepresentation.

Does anyone follow wokeandwoofing on X? I recommend you do!

Latest comment:

"Disgraceful. You are just pretending you want to cheat at sport, in order to make fun of people who genuinely want to cheat at sport."

The BBC article, as with most other articles, talks about barring transgender athletes rather than what Sophie actually said which was men should be barred

She later doubled down on her comments, saying it was "common sense", external to bar transgender athletes from competing in women's sports.

It's made it to the Beeb...

Article by Known Heretic (Amy E Sousa) about how WBNA have already had a transgender player- TIF. Which highlights the issue being about male players:

www.theknownheretic.com/p/why-is-nobody-talking-about-layshia

All the ad hominem attacks in the world don’t change the facts.

The WNBA has a policy that allows male people to apply. And would leave the WMBA open to legal challenges if they didn’t recruit a male athlete.

That is why all these Whatabout attacks are fucking meaningless.

Ah, but thanks to the wonders of Doublethink...

Gosh those TRA will be gutted when they find out about the TW who have beaten and abused women then

And of course, when this man feels affronted, by a woman standing up to him, he does the usual TRA thing of sneeringly calling her 'Joanne' to try and talk down to her 🙄

Great thread with a long list of male cheats in women's basketball including accounts of women being injured by them. This is a real problem worldwide:

https://nitter.net/hecheateddotorg/status/2084744457736372399

It was horrific - and that it what women and girls face when they are forced to compete against boys and men. The video is appalling - the girl is desperately trying to get the adults attention and nothing is done to stop the match or check she's ok. She's obviously very distressed.

So the boy gets away from it? Yep, sounds about right - protect the trans kids, fuck the rights of girls 😡

We have literally had to go to the highest Court in the uk to define woman for the equality act.

Searched for it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/female-wrestler-16-alleges-assault-by-trans-opponent-doe-investigating/ar-AA1Wjg8I Holy shit.

Two of the coaches have been charged with failing to follow mandatory reporting of the assault. I'm not aware of any action being taken against the boy

As I remember, the victim was a teenage girl who was trying to alert people as it happened, and nothing was done.
