Triggernometry - Cenk Uygur

[YesYesAllGood]

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. This guy's awful, dismissive attitude to female high school athletes and even sexual assault in toilets. From about 1:01:00. He seemed quite sensible initially but I am so, so angry about what he said here I hardly know what to say.

"If your daughter came in second instead of first, you'll live." Wtf?

And he thinks feeding high school boys' delusions that they're female is "protecting them"??

Thanks for the heads-up!

Cannot be arsed to watch that.

Ok. Thanks for...pointlessly stopping by. Or something.

Yeah it was abit weird, and he should have been challenged in what his daughter might think about that. And even if she happened to be ok with it what about her friends?

@YesYesAllGood Sorry sometimes i find it all a bit too much to stomach

Oh Cenk, Cenk, Cenk! What on earth?! It was like he so nearly got it... Then started to go on about genital inspections 🤨. Er...? The Triggernometry guys looked soooooo unimpressed 😆

Listened yesterday - he totally missed the point. No bio males in elite female sport….but fine in school/grassroots! How the fuck does he think girls make it to rlite level?? Moron.

Yes, he was so 'concerned' about trans identified boys he really had no interest whatsoever in the girls around him and how all this impacts them.

Fair enough. Apologies, @Bannedontherun

If he believes boys should in girls sports and men in women's grassroot sports, i don't understanding the logic of not allowing men into elite level women's sports.

Unless it's the sport he is likely to witness? He can't pretend he's not seeing a man when it's televised.

It's as if he's trying to banish trans from his life and make it a women's problem to deal with in private.

Cenk is an interesting case. While he is a product of the US "progressive Left" he does hold on to one or two centrist and conservative opinions; possibly as a result of his Turkish cultural upbringing.

His co-host Ana Kasparian has had a very public awakening to the problems of the far Left's positions recently, and suffered lots of criticism for it, and I was hoping that Cenk would be brought along on the same journey. But I guess there is some way to go for the sensible positions to emerge.

Ana is totally over it. I predict she'll make a move from TYT within the next couple of years. Possibly style herself a bit on Megyn Kelly.

I had a listen.

There is a MASSIVE disconnect. Due to the vulnerability of the males who identify as female, they have to be allowed participate in girls sports (not pre level). No mention that women and girls reject that, and see it as an imposition.

Immediately after, he rails against LatinX, a term that is being imposed on him, Latino people don't want it, therefore he refuses to use it.

He clearly states his food chain I suppose.

Very good observation there.

aka the Seb Coe Principle. 🙄

It's very bad form to go mining into someone's past comments. However:

Cenk loves the sound of his own voice. Very glad to hear of Ana's recent awakening.

They didn't challenge him on his nonsense about genital inspections - everybody's genitals are inspected at birth, and their sex recorded.
Don't they have birth certificates in America?
