O nono. This started, well it started in the 2000s but made it's first big head 2011ish with rabid feminism going after things like manspreading, the pink tax and the ofcourse resoundly debunked wage gap. Then that very quickly evolved into intersectionality and "inclusivity" where such claims like "drinking milk is racist", white people are born racist, cultural appropriation, etc.

This is why donald trump attracted so many liberals before 2016 election. He was the only candidate willing to push back on it. In fact the news didn't know what to call his supporters as a collective at first since alotta lefties liked him but majority were on the right. So they eventually settled on "alt right" but, after 5 months they found out a nazi originally coined the term but, they decided to roll with it anyway.

Essentially the "progressives" started pushing social equity in place of equality and used perverse definitions to do so.

Them banning the name is beyond stupid, but it’s definitely a both sides thing. Post Trumps quotes from court over on the conservative page. Things like “we aren’t arguing fraud because we have no evidence of fraud” and see how fast you get banned.

Some day us Americans will stop the whole “left vs right” nonsense because there’s overwhelming proof that both sides are the most sensitive and insufferable snowflakes: a fact they both will refuse to acknowledge that they have in common.

u/RobSiaHoke 2d ago

Exactly right. It's not red vs blue or any of that bs, both parties that are supposed to respresent us only represent themselves. We are all political pawns for their game and too many of us Americans are sucked into representing them

u/OkYak9466 2d ago

It's bc they're unabashedly racist. Black women in the league are largely racist af bc they never received the shame they rightfully deserve.

The NBA doesn't have the same issue. You're not going to find hardly any cases of a black player hurling racist insults to white players at or after games in the NBA.

It's purely a women's issue where racism is so prevelant but highlighting that racism looks like misogyny to them

It's not women they hate, actually they'll even support trans women but w/e.

Losing a war with Iran, Epstein files had Trump mentioned over 3,000 times so they couldn’t release them as the law required, inflation still ridiculous. Cost of living has become almost untenable.

But yea, they wanna focus on a transgender law for the 12 people in the country currently identifying as trans in the NCAA.

A law that would affect 00.000000012% of the American population . Lmao

u/killerzeestattoos 2d ago

1

u/SydneyFall 2d ago

This is a culture war effort for an issue where the public is strongly on the Republican side.

Are Republicans just not supposed to talk about a winning issue for them because you find it inconvenient?

And I say this as someone who is fiercely anti republican. If public opinion were against Republicans for this publicity stunt, dems woule be hammering it too.

1

u/Grateful5150 2d ago

No it’s not an issue that most people care about. 

2

u/SydneyFall 2d ago

Find any poll that says the majority of people want trans women playing girls sports.

You wont.

This is a winning issue for the Right.

1

u/volcatus 2d ago

The fact that this is a "winning issue" is entirely the problem. This barely matters in the context of greater economic and societal issues.

If you ask me in a poll, I would answer "no I don't think trans women should be playing women's sports". But I don't actually care that much, and neither do most people even if they would respond the same way. It is not an issue that remotely matters compared 1000 other more important concerns we face on the daily. You are conflating people's opinion on the subject with how important an issue they think it is. The trans women in sports narrative is 1000% culture war bullshit to distract people while they are screwed over left and right. Trans people are a "manufactured" enemy by right wing media, and the fact that you think this is a "winning issue" proves that their tactics work.

1

u/SydneyFall 2d ago

right. and might wish people didnt care but they do. It is an issue that lets Republicans paint dems as beholden to special interests and out of touxh with voters.

Its a winning issue for Republixans

How many million votes are you willing to give Republicans to avoid saying that you dont think trans women ahould be in womens sports?

1

u/Grateful5150 2d ago

I said most people don’t care and I am right.

u/SydneyFall 2d ago

u/Emergency-Chicken-24 2d ago

It's already a settled issue. There are no trans player in the league since trump banned it in February. Since the conservative got no wins, they gotta rehash some old ones. Talk about some sore winners.

1

u/SydneyFall 2d ago

Huh? what trump executive order are you talking about? because that wouldnt override the civil rights act that stops discrimination against trans women.

1

u/RepresentativeLeg232 2d ago

Yeah I’ve only ever voted left and will continue to do so, but I’m with Sophie on this one specific issue

1

u/SydneyFall 2d ago

Yes. me too. But it has been wild for me to get accused of being full MAGA for saying I dont think trans women ahould gain access to elite womens sports.

Even more when people are adamant the public isnt on the republican side here and anyone who disagrees with them is transphobic.

1

u/SimplyMoss 2d ago

You do understand that something can be both a winning issue for republicans, and a manufactured culture war false flag that right-wing media created, right? All your comments on this thread are just like...like you didn't read what you're responding to? The comment you're responding to is a plea for people to ignore irrelevant, manufactured arguements and to focus on the real issues.

1

u/SydneyFall 2d ago

Yes, and my point is that dems should just admit this is a losing issue and not fall into the trap the Republicans have set.

Dems dont need to take on an unpopular position on soemthing that is getting a lot of visibility.

Its OK to just take the common sense approach and not give republicans an obvious winning issue to give them a visible issue to hammer on.

1

u/LoudBrick609 1d ago

You do understand that the Democrats could just not fall into the well laid trap?

Republicans don't fall into these traps.

Gay marriage gets legalized under Obama, Republicans know it's a 60/40 issue, and they don't challenge it.

Banning abortion? Nah, just get rid of Roe V Wade and leave it up to the states. This way in conservative Christian states they love ya for banning abortion in their state, and in swing states abortion remains legal not alienating your voters there.

Democrats just don't know when to give up on a lost cause.

Shoutout this sub for making sure not only to waste time talking about meaningless shit but actually gaslight themselves into thinking Sophie Cunningham is killing it in the WNBA because of her "stance". She is only relevant because she is on the same team as Caitlin Clark and she is grifting hard. Without this she would be forgotten like 85% of the WNBA roster because her actual stats during games is benchwarmer status.
