Re: Why isn't Yuletide growing?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh no someone thinks women need more barriers to doing sports than men because secret extra scary men could be hiding in shadows. So scary.

Re: Why isn't Yuletide growing?

Currently, any man could enter the women's competition in most sports and in this way, take a space that should belong to a woman. There's your extra barrier. There's nothing "extra scary" required. Just any random man who'd rather compete in the women's than the men's.

The number of "random men" who would do that is effectively zero, which you know, because this is entirely about you being an anti-trans bigot. We've all seen through your clever disguise.

There's no disguise. There's just no difference between a man who identifies as a woman and any other man. They're the same. It's being male that means you shouldn't be competing in the female races. Your internal identification makes no difference.

Oh no! It’s a scary boogie man that’s not real!

"The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against males. According to information received, by 30 March 2024, over 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions have lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports."

That's a lot of cases for something that's not real and doesn't happen.

Does that account for the idea that if the competitions have one category instead of two, they're handing out half the number of medals?

Hey, remember when you said "Currently, any man could enter the women's competition in most sports and in this way, take a space that should belong to a woman." instead of "Some people who are transgender are also professional athletes" and how the second is not the first because the first is anti-trans bigotry, the actual thing you care about, not sports? Because you're an anti-trans bigot? You're an anti-trans bigot.

Re: Why isn't Yuletide growing?

That's like saying "some people who are furries are also professional competitors" and should be allowed in the dog shows.

Re: Why isn't Yuletide growing?

[(Anonymous)]

No, you think that because you're an anti-trans bigot.

In this particular case there is not a women’s category for your scary fake men in your scary fake mind palace, to enter and steal.
