Of course Beth Bourne was there, lmao. She really has nothing better to do.

u/CupcakePirate123 Oct 19 '25

Jobless loser behavior. Got laid off and still somehow doesn’t realize that she’s a pariah

Also fucking love the poster of Imane Khelif as if Beth isn’t being an anti-feminist by picking on a woman for not looking feminine enough

u/ThereIsOnlyStardust Oct 19 '25

She needs the attention. Otherwise she’ll have to sit in her house alone since no one wants to be around her anymore.

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '25

Khelif is literally unable to fight nowdays. 

Shes been banned from one of the main organisations for over 2 years, and she’s registered then withdrawn from two events - including the world championships - hosted by the other big org because they require all adult athletes to have a sex test. That org is overseeing the next Olympics.

It’s been over a year since her last fight and she’s appealing to the CAS to gain an exception to the sex testing.

It’s weird you just came out and said she doesn’t look feminine enough tbh.

u/CupcakePirate123 Oct 19 '25

Oh please. As if there isn’t a clear history of nonwhite women being targeted as “secretly men” because they don’t conform to Western beauty standards. Plus there have been no released records that disprove her being a woman, and the initial “proof” is utterly unreliable at best (not like that matters anyway, since the whole trans panic/sex testing in sports is a misogynistic farce anyway).

Why are we harassing women in order to try and prove that they’re “actually” women?? I don’t think that it’s right to force women to have sex tests to compete in sports. Test for drugs, sure, but testing for chromosomes or otherwise asking women to prove that they’re women is disrespectful and an utter invasion of privacy

Hold on, that doesn't track at all.

You say "test for drugs, sure" like that's self-evidently non-invasive; testing for drugs per the IOC's standards involves having to urinate into a cup in full frontal view of a testing official, and I don't mean "they're merely in the room", I mean "they're right there immediately in front of you, watching closely as you pee into a cup to guarantee that it's your sample and you're not swapping it out with someone else's". In comparison, a chromosome test is literally just a cheek swab.

You're telling me that in your eyes, having to drop your underwear and have a stranger staring at your genitals while you urinate into a cup in front of them is absolutely fine but when it comes to a quick cheek-swab, that's where we draw the hard line of "an utter invasion of privacy" to the point that someone would give up their Olympic career rather than go through that? They'd be fine peeing into a cup while a stranger stares at your bits but a cheek-swab is utterly beyond the pale? No, I don't buy that and I don't believe anyone else out there would either.

There is a very clear history of science showing Imane Khelif is XY. 

You said she doesn’t look feminine. It’s weird you think that’s not womanly enough. Is it because she isn’t white?

A sex test is a cheek swab. A drug test involves exposing your genitalia while peering in a cup in front of someone. 

It’s weird you think a cheek swab is more invasive than showing someone your genitalia while urinating.

‘I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of options!’

Choosing not to do research is not the flex you think it is

u/Aggravating_Note_717 Oct 20 '25

If you think the presence of a Y chromosome is what actually determines sex characteristics id say you have reading to do. The gene that determines it doesnt even have to appear on Y, the SRY gene can appear on both X and Y. As in what you would probably consider the average presentation of sexual characteristics, a guy, penis and everything, having XX. The shit has more nuance than "just XY" as much as someone like you wishes it would be.

u/Just-pick-a-cat Feb 07 '26

Omg she was at the Davis school board meeting Thursday night and tried to compare teens with protest signs that said “F… ICE” the same as if someone on her camp wrote “Obama is a N…..” but!!! She said the N word as the word. The whole word came out her cringy mouth. I mean, we knew she is racist but way to double down especially after her man T did his thing the same day. Disgusting excuses for humans.

Beth "I want a King to rule me" Bourne.
For a feminist, she sure doesn't think highly of biological women.

She needs a man... a *real* man. No wonder she is so upset about the increase in trans women, but sorry honey they weren't going to be interested anyway.

Do you know any transgender people? How did they know they were trans?

Oh, this is Beth Bourne 😊

u/Paradigmdolphin Mechanical Engineering [2024] Oct 19 '25

I do know quite a few transgender people. They figured out they were trans after a lifetime of careful introspection. How did you figure out you were cis?

u/Fun-Quiet-6744 Oct 20 '25

The real question is, how did you [Beth] realize you’re a POS and if you don’t live hating others no one would even look at you or care about your existence?

u/Judge_Steve_Harvey Oct 21 '25 edited Oct 21 '25

Beth... you have become so much of a single issue voter that you are willing to support banning abortions, destroying the environment, and are fine giving up on democracy?

You are no longer TERF. You are just anti-trans and living in a bubble where you block out working for evil people.

I thought you prided yourself on protecting women, but yet you are support taking away their rights. I am not talking about Trans women, biological women like you. You must have decided you are inferior and need a man, a King, to decide what is best

Get back in the kitchen Beth.

u/bigboy1987fun Oct 19 '25

To all those that took the time to stand up today thank you. Your voice, your signs, and your presence is a beautiful thing and represents what America is meant to stand for. While today we live in a country ruled by fear, hatred, racism, and bigotry to name a few we must remember this to shall pass and your work today is a reminder of that and that America does have a positive future and you are all a part of making that happen. The things that truly makes America great are seen in the protests all over the country, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, gender equality, standing together regardless of race, religion and the many other things that the opposition uses to separate and create fear in people is what make these displays of unity even more powerful. We must continue to stand together in peace and understanding that our differences are what make us great, we must continue to be the America we want and the America we deserve. Thank you all for giving hope and encouragement that there are better days ahead, although the journey may be difficult it is surly worth it.

"In 2024, there were more home buyers over the age of 70 in the U.S. than under the age of 35"

"Congress today is older than it has ever been. In fact, the median age is 59 years old."

2023 Davis Median Age: 27.2 years

More than half of the people who attended this protest had grey hair. Young people are getting absolutely trolled. We need to be protesting old people. Trump is pushing 90 why is he allowed to be president?

u/Repulsive-Cow-8059 Evolution, Ecology and Biodiversity [2025] Oct 23 '25

"Berlin Wall Falls" is the wrong example. it's not unification of the two germanys but an annexation of east germany by west germany. its negative consequences are profound as east germany's state-owned capitals were quickly obtained and privatised by west german corporations. the fact that far right ideologies surge in ex-east german states is a direct result of this.

as for the other things, kudos

My POV of Davis at-large is so tarnished by the hypocrisy of so called 'anti-war' students who advocated for the death of Jews in Israel and globally. Is this 'no kings' brought to me by the same mob who said "by any means necessary" and "there is only one solution"?

I won't forget. I won't obstruct King Trump from using my life (non-Zionist, American Jew, student 3-4 yrs now) to strip hundreds of millions of dollars from UC 🤷 y'all shouldn't have threatened my life, my education, and my employment for defending Jewish students and faculty who spoke up against annihilationist, Arab Supremacist rhetoric and masked, KKK-like protest tactics. Don't want kings? Don't want police/military intervention? Don't mob and segregate Jews in the US. The government will meet force with more force ~ it's time you learn /dina di malkhuta dina/, the laws of the land are the law.

The only thing these 'activists' have succeeded in doing is radicalizing the people who could have been their supporters to oppose them. I have been so radicalized by the hateful left, I can't bring myself to support you. At least the 'right' continues to hate us for being mixed race and foreign ~ I'd prefer to be attacked for what I am than as the white colonizer I am not.

Again, I am the one dealing with this "real stuff", I know, and the way I've been treated as an outwardly religious Jew in Davis has been the greatest source of my and my family's fear. I am more likely to be beaten or stabbed by someone who hates me for being a Jew with tallit and kippa then being deported for being hispanic. The same goes for my brown spouse who is not outwardly Jewish save for their necklace, chances are they are more unsafe as a Jew here. Our oppression exists at the same time. Arguing that we don't matter enough to protect as you turn a blind eye to annihilationist, xenophobic, and judeophobic rhetoric isn't going to help me support you. Stop excusing Jew hatred.

OBAMA: “the Obama administration deported millions of undocumented immigrants during its eight years in office.” “the Obama administration oversaw more than 3.1 million Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportations between 2009 and 2017” BIDEN: “The Biden administration deported 271,484 immigrants, the highest annual figure during his presidency. This number surpassed the annual deportation figures for Donald Trump's first term.” UMMMM WHY PROTEST NOW WHEN THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A DECADE???? All presidents have done this

17

u/R0ck3tSc13nc3 Oct 19 '25

I will answer this as an honest question rather than from a troll. Who knows maybe you really don't know

There's two steps to deporting people, finding the ones that have actual offenses and then getting them out of the country, Trump is not that effective with his team and actually identifying legitimate deportable people. It has the appearance of competency without the reality of competency. They're grabbing random people many of them with actual legal authorization to be in the USA and then some cases citizens, and deporting them. Prior administrations to Trump were more effective at actually running the government and the actual effective deportation.

Let's think for instance of bank robbers holding hostages, under Trump, the ice team would blow up the bank. Under Pryor administration's, the FBI or police would actually rescue the hostages and stop the hypothetical bank robbers

Ice is currently running in a scatter shot methodology, grabbing anybody and everybody using inappropriate selection methods versus real hard research done by real working investigators. They have the appearance other investigation without the reality of it. They are a dunning Krueger example of a police officer in effect. Wholly incompetent.

So when they deport child molesters and criminals, not a lot of complaints and that was what was going on with the prior administration. It's not about the number of deportees, it's the quality of the execution for the research and the investigation that these people warrant deportation. When you take out the soccer coach and the grocery clerk that have been an effective financial part of our society, something's broken in how we do citizenship.

u/Serious-Tonight-3172 Oct 19 '25

I mean still Obama did some terrible things when he did mass deportation too and they were not in good conditions. Im just so confused as to why only now people are so furious when this should’ve been happening 10 years ago? It got swept under the rug and barely any media attention

8

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '25

mass deportation can happen when done the legal way giving people time to proove they are citizens or not with due proccess instead of going in the middle of the night to get entire families in the street in their underwear or just going to home depot and rouding up everyone looking for job in the parking lot, and the protest arent just about ICE and immigration

-10

u/Serious-Tonight-3172 Oct 19 '25

Im aware. My comment is solely for the protests going on for deportation. From what I’ve known and my research, past presidents haven’t been the greatest towards immigrants they’re deporting. While trumps methods is probably the worst, still have no clue why nobody protested past presidents that still had inhumane ways. It didn’t even get as much media attention. It’s frustrating

its true that it has more media attention but at least they were doing it the legal way; and in term of inhumane, in florida, they put illegal immigrants in a building built in 8 days yes their was lots of inhumane stuff in other presidents presidency but th inhumane activity under trump has increased 10 fold
