Honestly whose side are you on MN? An issue of massive importance to womens rights, Intentionally moved where no one will see it, but I notice you have banner ads for topics and guest posts you want everyone to see planted at the top of Talk threads

What board did this start off in? Was it the sex and gender one? If so I cannot see why it’s been moved.

Anyway bump

Yes @minipie , started in the sex and gender thread

Why has this been moved MNHQ? Doesn’t seem to make sense?

minipie · 05/07/2021 21:46

I find it so weird that they're allowing this!

Oscar Pestorious wasn't allowed to compete in the Olympics, because it was deemed his blades would give an unfair advantage.... But a male competing in a the female division of the Olympics is fine...?

As soon as males start winning gold's in female events, give it less than 20 years,and all of a sudden every medal winner will be male....

Many athletes and countries will use this loophole and exploit it.

Don't be surprised when an all male womens team is representing a country in any given sport ... :/

There's a blanket rule that petition links get moved to the petitions board. (E.g. a petition about animal cruelty would get moved out of the dog house too,I believe.)
Makes no sense to me if it's on a relevant board and not being spammed all over the place. Maybe there's some reason but I don't know what.
