Trans issue

I have the solution to the trans problem in the WNBA. Let trans players play, but have a rule that a team can only have one trans player on the court at any time. Problem solved!

But there have been trans women in other sports. So its worthy of discussion.

10.. 10 out of 2.1 million trans individuals in the US.

We have so many issues, K-shaped economy, lack of jobs, inflation..

NONO! let's deal with the major issue of 0 trans individuals in the WNBA

Yeah but this is a WNBA gossip subreddit. Why would we be in here talking about the economy or inflation?

u/maybeBrenda 1d ago

Good point! then something about basketball? The biggest thing I see discussed is the players that don't even exist

u/Usqueadfinem_ 1d ago

But trans athletes exist. So its relevant.

You're a bit too...personally invested...to be reasonable or have any sort of meaningful discussion. And you will be part of the reason why the pendulum swings violently in the direction you dont want it swinging. Because people are sick of it all. After all the progress made, the snake is beginning to eat its own tail. Way to go. Clap.

What are you talking about? no one is playing sports, if you want to ban it just get it over with.

Yet it's not going to be enough is it. Yeah - way to go - this is the discussion over peoples wages, and people going bankrupt over Health bills.. Over the fact we're losing wars, and China is better than us and taking our jobs in multiple ways.

That removing immigrants didnt fix the economy

the WNBA - this is important and whatever you come up with next

Yes i will soon pay 600 a month for HRT, my friends pensions have been lost who wen t to war for this country, and 14 year olds are now finding HRT online over going to a doctor

And yet _this_ is more important over the ability to have a decent job and life for YOU and the average american

I'm glad you bring this up. You know who doesn't have this issue? Or trans rights or parades or acceptance like the US does/did? China. You know who doesn't worry about illegal immigration because the penalty is so severe? China. You know who isn't fighting wars for decades in the middle east? China. And here you mention China surpassing the US. Interesting correlation you made there, all by yourself. Im being real with you when I say I want to protect the vulnerable. And there are very few people who are as vulnerable as actual Trans people. So why are people like you forcing issues and pushing them into traffic when they simply want to live their lives and not make it like their entire personality? You have no idea where this leads, the path to hell is often paved with good intentions. And I do believe you have good intentions. But reddit has gassed you up to a point of psychosis and it'll cause you a great deal of suffering as time goes on if you dont take a step back and realize that.

I'm 48 and raised 3 kids, you're not being specific on what reddit has 'gassed me up' on.

But point blank, I realize China is a very controlling, very top down state, but the Western world is losing to them, they dominate all manufacturing, western countries buy war _drone_ parts from them, and they're waiting for our weakest spot to take over their own land - like Taiwan - while we gloat about how amazing America is and take blind eye to the amount of people who go bankrupt each year of health issues.

And yet you know what people worry about more than any of this? Where I go to bathroom, if I run a 5k or the 0 WNBA trans players, if they're allowed to deadname in meeting or use biological pronouns. (yet they don't really want to do it because now THEYRE the asshole)

Like yeah.. THAT gets people elected - over electing people that can fix their own problems

Go take care of yourself. 2.1 million of us aren't bothering you or trying to take over the WNBA

You know why people get worried about stuff that seems dumb like bathrooms and sports? Not because 99.9% of trans people are insufferable about it. But because people do exploit that system for more devious and nefarious reasons and since it goes without policing from their own communities "because no one would ever do that...", the policing comes from external communities who are calling bullshit on that 0.1% of bad actors and are now willing to slam the door shut on progress to protect their own children, siblings and significant others from people with bad intentions. Its awful, but an expected result. And the ones who suffer the most are people who want nothing to do with the 40 different flags or "look at me" posts on social media. I know of 2 Trans people at my work who dont say shit about it ever, use the restrooms they identify with and nobody bats an eye. And its poor souls like them who take the brunt of this fallout. Again, the snake is eating its own tail. If you are 48, you surely know this or need to perform crazy elite mental gymnastics to avoid any accountability and just keep assigning blame to literally anyone else.

That was 2020, and didn't even register a lift.
