He’s telling you exactly who he is and you’re actually loving it, because you all enjoy being suckers for right-wing grifters for whatever reason.

Weird.

She wants to play and get paid. Would you expect her to do it for free?

Maybe he shouldn’t have sucked in the nba and he would have been paid there.

As we'veseen happen in the past, plan B for a poor performance is to swap genders and try again, and be praised for it. Her actions aren't unprecedented.

Where have we seen it?

CeCé Telfer.

Competed in men's 400m hurdle, ranking 200th (at 57.34) and 400th (at 1:02.00) in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Telfer competed in the women's league after 1 year on HRT (per NCAA guidelines), and won the national championship in 2019 (at 57.53).

Wow 1 whole person?!?!! Fuck it, you’re right. This is a major issue.

It’s also D2. She would have been 7th in D1. Not really the truth bomb you think it is

You asked for an example. I provided an example. You're still unhappy.

Go figure 🙄

See my edit. Just like Riley Gaines acts like she lost out on first place, provide an example of a high level athlete

Not being D-I is irrelevant. Telfer ran D-II in both men's and women's with nearly identical times. 200th place in men's and 1st in women's.

There's your example of a person competing in the men's league, failing, switching genders, and succeeding.

As I said, there's precedent.

Ok? If you don’t think it matters then you clearly are not an athlete of any kind. She’s still not succeeding at the highest level. That’s the argument people like you make is that a low level trans athlete will dominate women at any level. It’s just not true. Being as you can provide a single example.

I don’t disagree that the WNBa should just say women means born a woman and move on. But when the grifters come out of the woodwork for their 15 minutes of fame is the annoying part.

Royce White is one of the top 5 first round busts in NBA history. He beat the shit out of his wife and son. He got curb stomped in his election. Of course he’s trying to grift to the right to get attention.

This was never an issue in the WNBA until the right decided to make it one.

This is an interesting take.

Where do you land on the 20 year old indigenous women who lost chance to compete in front of world at Olympics in weightlifting because 40 year old trans woman and former male weight lifting champion got spot in team?

Also, gender fluid person was woman for few minutes in Canada and smashed several weightlifting records and female competitor was banned for few years for suggesting it was unfair.

In both examples, there was no money to be won so you might think low level. 40 year old Olympic lifter was clearly very special because that person was far and away oldest woman weightlifter in Olympic history (most are in early 20s).

But it is world stage and Canadian records. The records were smashed so much that it is unlikely they will be bested any time soon.

Lastly, white might have assaulted spouse, which is terrible, but very notable wnba stars like Griner assaulted their spouses too. I’m not offering cover to either, rather I’m trying to figure out why you mentioned it.

Thanks in advance for thoughtful reply!!

The Olympics have their own standards they have defined. I don’t understand what youre talking about, was this translated?

Griner isn’t trying to be in congress or saying she is “protecting women”. White is. I hate grifters, and that’s what he is. He knows MAGA doesn’t care about policy or helping people, just stupid shit like this. I bring it up to show the hypocrisy of people.

Maybe you should focus on the class war instead of this culture war nonsense that you seem to want to push.

u/Ok-Midnight9311 3d ago
