    Brianna Wu: If I were in charge of the trans movement...

    The Real timschochet replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club

    Thanks Jerry, but I don’t care. To me it’s like having a Jew deny the Holocaust. Some have (famously, Bobby Fischer) but that doesn’t take away the truth of the event. Kanye West has argued that American chattel slavery was a good thing. Shall I consider his comments on the subject to be more merit worthy than others because he is a black man? I don’t. I didn’t have any personal opinion on the question of the explosion of the number of trans people until quite recently. What I read, from most medical experts and psychiatrists and psychologists, is that it’s a result of people feeling free to express their innermost feelings, that the same numbers were always there but hidden. This intuitively made sense to me. I also read a minority of opinion that it was a “social contagion.” Since this opinion was mostly spread from people whom I judged to be bigoted against trans (and before that bigoted against homosexuality) I treated this minority opinion with a great amount of skepticism. I still do. But in the end I regard this as a scientific question, equivalent to the best way to land an airplane. When the majority of experts change their opinion on this subject I will as well.

    No. It was relevant to the sentence I quoted, which Wu wants to “change the conversation to.” I had never heard of Wu before today, but she is described by you as “influential in the trans community.” And she has had multiple posts showing her disdain for Gaines, who is probably one of the most well-known people that is “dehumanizing to trans people.”
  3. TimHauck
    She’s saying they’re men, that being trans is not a real thing. This was the other example I shared earlier. She called being trans a “gimmick.” https://x.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1861564050024329515 @jerryskids tried arguing that since the post she was replying to was deleted, that it lacked the full context. But no context is needed to acknowledge that calling trans a gimmick means she’s against transgender people. Although to your question Jerry, reading the comments, it’s pretty clear the original post was about Walmart supposedly no longer selling chest binders (so not about sports). I’m guessing the post got deleted after many commenters pointed out that they were in fact still selling them. Riley makes lots of posts about trans folks but not about sports. For example she also retweets just about every story she sees of a trans person committing a crime.

    All liberals a freaking sick. A school board meeting in California featured emotional debate over transgender athletes being allowed to share locker rooms with high-school girls. One girl who cried during a speech was told to "wrap it up" by the board president. During the Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) board meeting on Wednesday, a high-school junior girls' track athlete at Arroyo Grande High School named Celeste Diest took the podium to recount her experience of having to change in front of a biologically male trans athlete before practice, while that athlete allegedly watched her undress. "I went into the women's locker room to change for track practice where I saw, at the end of my row, a biological male watching not only myself, but the other young women undress. This experience was beyond traumatizing," Diest said, as she began to choke up and cry. "Adults like yourself make me and my peers feel like our own comfort was invalid, even though our privacy was and still is completely violated." Diest then fought through her tears to argue that the trans athlete's XY chromosomes define the person as a male, adding, "That is basic biology." But Diest was then interrupted by LMUSD board president Colleen Martin. "Okay, please wrap it up," Martin said, gesturing to Diest to finish her point. The teen then sniffled and continued speaking. "I just want to ask ‘what about us?’ We can not sit around and allow our rights to be given up to cater to an individual that is a man, who watches women undress and is stripping away female opportunity that once was fought for us. Sadly we have to try and regain our rights back. I hope you put effort into the restoration of our school safety." Diest then walked away from the podium to a roaring applause from the audience before Martin tried to silence the cheers Martin even began slamming her gavel down to try and temper the growing applause, but the cheers only got louder after that. "No!" Martin yelled when the cheers got louder. Then, Martin just sat there silently as the applause continued for several more seconds, before it finally tempered, and the next speaker gave another speech opposing trans inclusion. Prior to Diest's speech, one of the other speakers, a woman named Shannon Kessler, who was scheduled to go after the teen, asked Martin whether she could give her speaking time to Diest. But Martin denied that request. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/california-girl-cries-recounting-trans-athlete-experience-school-board-president-says-wrap-up

    So conservatives aren’t allowed to think that trans people exist?

    Brianna Wu: If I were in charge of the trans movement...

    jerryskids replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club

    Not that I'm aware of. If I implied that, it was a mistake. I'll also add that in the case of Brianna, I've only known of her as Brianna, not when she was Brian or whatever her original name was. I first heard of her when she did a rebuttal to J.K. Rowling's interview series on The Free Press regarding trans people (also published there). I didn't agree with many of her points, but she presented them intelligently.

    Brianna Wu: If I were in charge of the trans movement...

    WhiteWonder replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club

    I don't care and am not talking about specific people who will never be satisfied, nor am I claiming that the rest of her statement covers EVERY main hot button issue regarding trans. My point was that you cherry picked their last statement about what the conversation can change to while leaving out the fact that the very person who made the statement has just finished explaining a list of things that they feel would help get us to that point.

    Brianna Wu: If I were in charge of the trans movement...

    WhiteWonder replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club

    Not really. You tried a "gotcha" with the focking question because yes, the answer is yes, it makes you ghey. But sexual preference is different than all the gender identity stuff, so the question really has nothing to do with what he chooses to call this person. I personally feel that trans is people playing make believe. Yet if I interact with someone I am going to call them she/her/miss etc or he/him/sir etc based on what I think they look like. I'm not the least bit concerned with not calling them their preferred pronouns, my point is I'm going to call them something and I may get it wrong compared to their biological sex. Doesn't make me ghey. I would also call this person a she if I just had a passing interaction. My reasoning is not as nuanced as Jerrys but I think it's fairly easy to understand unless someone needs to be purposely insensitive just for the sake of it.

    Would you call a 220 pound MMA trans woman a man to his face?

    What question are you taking about? When you said how was sports not inclusive before, I answered that Biles’ opinion seems to be that they should add a trans category.
  13. TBayXXXVII
    Wow! That's next gen incompetence right there. Like I said before, you need stop because no one has ever been more wrong on any topic, ever. #1 "Sports" and "Women's Sports"? There's a women's and men's division already, you can't make them more inclusive unless you allow men to play in women's sports and women to play in men's. #2 Gaines said suggested to have a trans category. Biles apparently agrees with her. I don't think it's a stupid idea, I just don't think it'll work because of... a) biological women will not want to compete against biological men and 2) there wouldn't be enough representation in each sport. If I grant you that I am an idiot, then what does make you... AS: 1) Gaines and Biles agree that men shouldn't be allowed in sports. 2) Gaines and Biles agree that a possible solution would be to make them their own category. 3) Gaines was an actual victim (men playing in women's sports were NOT). 4) Other biological women were and are, actual victims, not the men playing in women's sports). So, Biles and Gaines agree.. Biles calls out Gaines and acts like a douche, and you agree with her. So, what's that make you and Biles?
  14. TimHauck
    Seems Biles’ opinion is that they should have a trans category.
  15. TimHauck
    She said make “SPORTS” inclusive, not “WOMEN’S sports.” Her suggestion is to create a trans category. It’s a stupid idea, but she’s not saying to allow biological males in women’s sports. Holy fock you’re dumb.
  16. TimHauck
    No, you are inferring things into her statement that she didn’t actually say. So, you’re making things up per usual. Edit: Funny that you draw that conclusion but will still refuse to admit that Gaines is against trans people as a whole and not just in sports.

    I think that just because you group a bunch of people into a long acronym, doesn't mean that the gay and trans situations are the same. There are plenty of examples where I don't think trans people should be protected. A few examples: women's prisons, women's sports (generally), customer facing positions within companies. So I don't believe in the same sort of protections for trans as given to, say, race/ethnicity. HTH

    Tim is doing exactly what @TBayXXXVIIaccused him of in the trans softball thread. We were talking about warning shots, Tim lost yet another discussion, so now he's trying to move the goalposts to journalists and doctors. I'd ask him if this means he concedes he has nothing on the murderous shooting sprees at the aid stations, but he wouldn't respond. 200 journalists! Or, maybe 3? And maybe 1 of them wasn't working directly with Hamas.

    Brianna Wu: If I were in charge of the trans movement...

    jerryskids replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club

    Well, she's old school trans, from before the social contagion. Also, it's pretty clear from her tweet, and other things I've heard her say, that she is very concerned that people like her -- people with gender dysphoria who have medically transitioned -- are at risk of losing access to the medicines they require because of the things mentioned in the tweet: social contagion, transing the kids, men in women's sports and safe spaces.

    Brianna Wu: If I were in charge of the trans movement...

    Sean Mooney replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club

    What makes her influential? Maybe she doesn't know that trans people are an existential crisis to the country?
  23. TimHauck
    That has nothing to do with what I just said, but yes I do think she’s a bigot, not because “she doesn’t say things the way I think she should,” because her words have shown she doesn’t like trans folks in general, not just the trans folks that play in womens sports. And honestly, as I think about it more, no I truly don’t think her negative comments about trans folks in situations that have nothing to do with sports actually help her argument. Because if her ultimate goal is for all states to pass legislation to ban biological males in women’s sports, the people she should be targeting with her messaging are the Dem politicians (as most regular folk already agree with her). And to do that, she should focus on facts and data, not just inflammatory rage bait. As I said earlier, most of what she’s doing now is just riling up the people that already agree with her. It has helped her get rich though, which I think was her bigger objective.

    The Real timschochet replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club

    Though I disagree with your view here it makes me think there may be room for compromise. But I’m not sure. So I would like you to be specific about the only aspect of this that truly matters: what kind of legislation that in any way touches on or restricts trans would you support? What kind of legislation would you oppose?

    Thank the OP for the laugh, he edited "transexual movement" to "trans movement" and figured no one would notice.
