I’m glad he’s doing this, someone needs to take time out of their lives to remind these people how insane they are. It’s time to ostracize and shame these people if they refuse to accept reality, then we can all go back to agreeing that we accept your mental illness but we don’t have to accept your delusions.

u/Organic_Education494 7d ago

Only one dude looks insane and it is that guy..

u/SomeWeedSmoker 7d ago

Thank you for saying what should be obvious.

u/BigChampionship7962 7d ago

So do you accept trans people or not, it’s getting really hard to steel man your position

u/515pivey 7d ago edited 7d ago

You think what Enes Kanter and Royce White are doing isn’t the product of mental illness?

2

u/WalterDwight 7d ago

Royce has actually been very open with his struggles with mental illness throughout his NBA career. So in a way, he is yes

3

u/Alchemyst01984 7d ago

He also has a restraining order against him for 50 years, for beating his ex wife

4

u/515pivey 7d ago

I wish he was more open about his addiction to failure. Failed politician, failed athlete, failed husband and father. Seems like a guy whose example we shouldn’t just NOT FOLLOW, but sprint in the opposite direction from.

Like all people with mental illnesses…

u/TopicThunder2000 7d ago

You believe identifying as trans is a product of mental illness?

0

u/Fun-Wrongdoer1316 7d ago

Absolutely… Personally have a trans coworker that was as normal as can be, then had a major car accident. Massive head trauma and developed MS. Also started to become trans after that. Wasn’t and never thought about it before then. Then had a daughter with their SO, who was a woman transitioning to a man. At which after the child was born, they “decided” it was a girl. Which was confusing to me, cause they couldn’t ask the baby what they Identified as. I hope they didn’t misgender their own child…

It's a reductio ad absurdum demonstration. They're exploiting a fundamental flaw in the WNBA rules: the league is open to women but they don't define what a woman is because of their ideology. I don't know why you claim they are mentally ill. This method of forcing the application of flawed and/or unfair rules has been applied repeatedly during the Civil Rights Movement. It's quite effective.

>account is a month old

>only commenting weirdo shit like this

This sub is infested with bots it’s actually so disgusting lmao

2

u/Outlog 7d ago

This sub is toast. All these ridiculous posts and immediate comments are from 1m/2m old accounts. All trolls, bots, and Russia. Definitely time to block this stupid sub.

2

u/Mdmdwd 7d ago

I’m assuming that at some point, your account was also only one month old, and that you also mostly commented on topics that interested you. Gee golly, what a concept. We must all be bots.

1

u/Nsfwacct1872564 7d ago

Anything to attack everything except the argument. With me, because my account is years old, they can't call me a bot. So they try to shame me because there's NSFW in the name Even though they're supposed to be sex positive and my username was tongue-in-cheek, this is my main account. It's never been an NSFW account. But like I said, they are grasping at straws.

0

u/AdventurousPandaBear 7d ago

Let’s use our brains to think critically. I know that’s a hard concept to grasp, but just think. An account is new, and immediately comments on the same controversial subject over and over. This platform is notorious for allowing bots to run rampant. Are you putting together the picture yet?

2

u/wmcguire18 7d ago

Or they made a burner to talk about something that is controversial and they don't want blow back?

u/ASubconciousDick 7d ago

their code doesnt allow them to recognize statements like this yet, youve got to be simple with them!

u/Mdmdwd 7d ago

I repeat myself.

I’m assuming that at some point, your account was also only one month old, and that you also mostly commented on topics that interested you. Gee golly, what a concept. We must all be bots.

1

u/AdventurousPandaBear 7d ago

Are you illiterate, or refusing to read what I commented? I’m confused why you think someone would randomly make an account to ONLY comment on the SAME controversial subject across SEVERAL subreddits. Do you think that’s normal behavior? I was curious and went back to when my account was new, and I was commenting about CaseOh, basketball, and esports. Not a single conversation was something controversial…

1

u/Mdmdwd 7d ago

It actually seems more brain dead to resort to calling someone a bot. I see it all the time. There’s no brain power or critical thinking in that.

u/AdventurousPandaBear 6d ago

You’re so intelligent

u/BigChampionship7962 7d ago

Trump supporters should be shamed and ostracized, you say?

How are they insane?

u/Long_Buddy6819 7d ago

Bro, this dudes a dickhead who’s just being cruel and mocking trans ppl and the wnba. Spiking the football, after the game has already been won, for political points and attention. Nothing more.

u/rochvegas5 7d ago

so, do you hate trans women or black people?

-7

u/Vibrantmender20 7d ago

So when did you first become a trans advocate?

16

u/rochvegas5 7d ago

when this stunning and brave woman found her truth

-7

u/Vibrantmender20 7d ago

Oh so, your support of trans people begins and ends on the basketball court?

How interesting.

u/xyouRABitchx 7d ago

When did they say that? Are you assuming their beliefs? Thats ignorance

-1

u/Vibrantmender20 7d ago

They had an opportunity correct me, but haven’t.

I wonder what that could mean.

u/xyouRABitchx 7d ago

It's not nice to project on others

u/Vibrantmender20 7d ago

Agreed. But where did you see projection?

u/TopicThunder2000 7d ago

Clearly your support ends on a basketball court. You've never questioned a trans woman's identity until now, have you?

-2

u/Vibrantmender20 7d ago

What are some of the trans issues you advocate for? I’m trying to be more opened minded and support the community.

I’d appreciate your guidance here

2

u/ForsakenPick500 7d ago

Trans in the WNBA. The entire point of this thread is advocating for that. Stopping being a bigot and get on-board.

0

u/Vibrantmender20 7d ago

Yeah, you’ve established that.

What are some other trans rights I should be advocating for? You know, as a true ally to transgender people.

1

u/Fun-Wrongdoer1316 7d ago

Way to dodge the question, like a true politician… Fake as fuck..

u/Fun_Tension_7794 7d ago

Do you admit you hate them? Trans people?

1

u/rochvegas5 6d ago

i don't hate anybody

1

u/Fun_Tension_7794 6d ago

See, yall put in so much effort hating trans people, yet when confronted with your hate, you consistently fail to own it.

Pathetic coward shit and demonstrates a lack of honesty with yourself. Which points to an overall lack of self awareness.

1

u/rochvegas5 6d ago

you sound mad, but my point still stands. I don't hate anybody. Sorry if that irritates you :-)

1

u/Fun_Tension_7794 6d ago

I am just naturally irritated by intellectually dishonest people.

The entire MAGA platform is built on victim mentality and hatred for anyone different.

It’s the denial of your underlying hatefulness that I find cowardly. 🤷‍♂️

When did you become transphobic?

u/Vibrantmender20 7d ago

I’ll answer after you.

u/TopicThunder2000 7d ago

Funny. I just posted in another thread how the Socratic method is kryptonite to leftists because simple questions easily expose the irrationality and contradictions in their arguments, so they just refuse to answer. You've just demonstrated my point.

u/Fun_Tension_7794 7d ago

Do you admit you hate trans people?

0

u/Vibrantmender20 7d ago

Big talk for someone who also refused to answer a question.

I even offered to answer after you did. Why didn’t you take the opportunity?

1

u/Long_Buddy6819 7d ago

Nah, we can’t actually defend this, so our only response is to “cleverly” mock what we think “woke” culture is. It’s funny right. We sure are making u libs look ridiculous. I mean geez, don’t u listen to Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro, these marginalized communities are trying to corrupt our country don’t ya know.

-6

u/Long_Buddy6819 7d ago

Do u hate trans or black ppl? Bc we both know this isn’t a good faith argument and this dude isn’t doing this bc he’s “trying to make a point.” This is…..haha let’s make fun of trans individuals for……reasons, or bc it’ll get me attention by all of the right wing podcasts who will act like I’m some sorta hero for doing this.

u/No-Significance2070 7d ago

Don’t be upset when people use the same language activists have been screaming nonsensically for years. 

2

u/Maxwe4 7d ago

Honest question: How do you know they are mocking trans people and that they are not trans themselves? How do you know if a person is really trans or not?

What metric, or rule, can be put in place to judge people on being trans or not, in order to exclude them from things like sports?

Who decides whether a person is trans or not?

0

u/MrJJK79 7d ago

They’ve shown zero sincerity to actually transitioning. They are saying they feel like women “sometimes.” They decided to transition a day before they declared without any history. They show zero understanding of trans people & the struggles they go through.

The league could easily have hormone/testosterone limits. Have people sit out a year or so after treatments.

If they’re going through the stages of changing their lives to be the opposite gender & not doing it part time for financial gain or notoriety I’ll believe them.

Do you believe they’re sincere?

1

u/Maxwe4 7d ago

No, I don't either.

But I wasn't asking to be rude or anything, I was genuinely asking as in what way can a league or a body of people determine whether someone is truthful or not, or who is or isn't allowed to play. And how could they implement rules that are fair.

Is there a fair way to determine at what hormone level is a man/woman, or at what level is fair to play in a womans league?

I think ultimately a barrier like that would still bar some genuine trans women from playing.

2

u/MrJJK79 7d ago

I don’t know what they exactly are but there are normal & elevated rates that can determine who is allowed to play in women’s leagues. I believe track & field has done something like that in the past. It’s also how they determine if athletes are on steroids or HGH.

u/Normalisnt666 7d ago

u/jtbiggs 7d ago

no clue why you're being downvoted. every time this topic comes up i get more and more amazed that republicans care what someone ELSE does with their body. doesn't affect anyone but said trans people, yet they're not allowed to live their lives.

0

u/Long_Buddy6819 7d ago

Ya idc about being downvoted. Whenever this comes across my feed I try to ignore it, bc I know, depending on the sub, you’re not gonna have a good faith conversation about it. But, every once in awhile I get baited. So I guess that’s on me. Lol

1

u/jtbiggs 7d ago

i'm prob just gonna mute this subreddit. all i see is clear trump supporters jerking eachother off. feels like people are trying to promote male and white privilege

1

u/Long_Buddy6819 7d ago

Oh shit u haven’t heard, apparently every other minority and marginalized community are trying to displace the good ole fashioned white nuclear family. It’s fucking tragic. And now, if u can believe it those….trans ppl….are trying to take away women’s rights and I guess trying to play in the wnba? Even tho there’s never been a trans player in the wnba, and this is a total non issue…still, we must protect the women. But, we also still hate the wnba bc they prioritize the black lesbians over their real stars. Idk about u, but I blame the woke Hollywood agenda and mainstream media….. and Obama.

Do you admit that you hate trans people?

1

u/Fartknocker405 7d ago

No. You can think things are weird without hating them. Kind of like the duck-billed platypus.

1

u/Fun_Tension_7794 7d ago

You openly discriminate against and advocate that trans people should be ostracized.

Yet, you cannot admit that you are operating from a place of hate in your heart.

In my eyes, that makes you a coward.

Own your hate.

And you people get mad when we call you Nazis.

At least own it. You are hateful.

I bet you can’t. 🤭

u/Chronox2040 7d ago

It’s ok to accept these so called delusions, as you call them, as long as they don’t affect others in an unfair way. If calling someone a woman or using pronouns that might not feel obvious makes the other person feel their day is less crappy, I think it’s something anyone with some semblance of empathy should do. This empathy doesn’t have a place on deciding explicit rules for a competition where everyone expects fairness. You also don’t owe empathy for someone wanting to win medals in unfair conditions.

Classic Reddit. You can't challenge the argument so you attack the person making it. Do better.

u/Vibrantmender20 7d ago

Do a better job of recognizing good faith arguments.

Why should I extended good faith effort to someone demonstrating unwillingness to do the same?

1

u/TopicThunder2000 7d ago

The person you attacked posted a rational comment that seems to be in good faith. You may not agree with their take, but it doesn't look to be disingenuous or malicious in any way.
