AIBU to be disappointed that not every ( active ) member of MN has not taken part in the Olympic committee's trans policy poll thread?

It would take two minutes & you have 3 choices - support, protest. abstain.

What's stopping everyone taking part?

I can see why you would interpret non-neutrality from the wording of the OP's introduction to the poll, marfisa. But I think it's a bit of a massive stretch to say that wording is "transphobic".

It is indeed "self-determined" as opposed to the earlier policy.
And it is "just one year" as opposed to a longer period.

No emotive hyperbole there.

Because......I don't really care? Ms prey, just being honest.

Ms prey --> sorry

Sorry!

Ronda Rousey on Fallon Fox

RR has been quite outspoken about believing FF to have an advantage

That also has footage of the Fallon Fox vs Tamika Brents fight for anyone interested

I don't think any of us can speak on behalf of all female athletes, any more than we speak on behalf of all women. I don't get the point of this thread - it's an individual decision.

Whether or not to sign any petition, I mean.

My dd is an athlete. Even at her age, and level, competirtiions are splkiut according to sex and age. On speak on behalf of her iron

I don't understand the significance of "self-determined". That's not a change, it's always been self determined surely?

Because MN doesn't have the functionality for user-generated polls.

So I knew it would not be a poll.

It would be a quite boring thread.

And my posting on it would not mean anything to anyone or have any effect on the state of the world.

Many if us have suggested or agreed with the idea of a third 'gender free' category.

I haven't RTFT but I have no interest in the issue which is why I haven't voted. Be disappointed if you like.

What's stopping everyone taking part?

It's pointless.

500 "dont give a shit" posts is not the same as 500 "i agree with the ioc" posts

Anything which say trans I just scroll past.
Now if it was something very important like funding for cancer drugs then I would be there. To me trans is not top of any list.

Why do you care what I do?
I get your passion, there's loads of issues that I care passionately about too.
I don't expect every other person to share that passion though
Sport is just not that important to me

Whoever writes thread three, dont put 'the t word' in the op or the title and we'll have a million more clicks

I think it is very wrong to say that loads of women on here don't give a shit about other women Mary

That's wrong. We just don't give a shit about the subject matter. Huge leap to say that because of that we don't care about other women.
