Well based on my research if we stop arguing about trans people in sports and just let people play (because sports don't actually matter) everyone on earth will become billionaires!
It's easy to say things, I really do not care what some rando on the Internet came up with by "doing their own research" unless they have receipts. That's how we got anti-vaxxers and flat earthers.
So we know this is a problem but fixing it isn't important. Trans people in sports we don't know is a problem, trying to "fix" it is creating other problems, so why is that more important to focus on?
I hope you’re aware this applies to you as well
I don’t want to take the time to prove you my research and shit. Maybe someone will take the time to do it, and props to them.
Blindly repeating the opinion of the majority on a same platform is also a great way to spread misinformation. I’m simply giving my opinion in hopes of creating doubt in people's mind so that they fact check it and get the truth. Most people stating things aren’t giving out the sources like that, and asking for it each time the facts are different is a great way to prevent those people from speaking at all.
Barely anyone check, so if a thread is full of people saying the same thing, one will assume it’s the truth but it might not be
You’re going off topic here
Of course. "I've done my own research and come to a conclusion that contradicts Science. No, I will not share any of it, just trust that I am right and scientists are wrong." You know you are unable to defend your "conclusion" because you have nothing to back it up.
Which is exactly why I'm calling out your claims.
No, this is very much on topic. You've claimed that you've received bans for no reason, for simply saying it's important to keep an open mind about banning trans people in sports. It took very little time to reach the obvious conclusion that you don't care about inequality in sports or you'd be concerned about the inequality money provides (you don't), and you don't care about how many other problems trying to fix that would create because trying to fix the issue of trans people in sports (who don't have an outsized advantage) creates significantly more problems, especially to a marginalized group of people (although as always it also overflows into cis people who don't properly fit into the cookie cutter mold).
You're trying to claim you're Just Asking Questions, but it takes very little time interacting with you for your views to become abundantly clear. You are not nearly as clever or subtle as you think.
What science? You’ve not given any source to back your claims. Science does NOT say that transgender women athletes and cisgender women athletes are equal.
How the fuck is this related? Rules can be decided easily, but making it so that each person has equal chance to get money is impossible and out of the question anyways. If you want to, then yea it changes the outcome, but we’re not fucking talking about all inequalities that exist else we wouldn’t stop talking. I’m focusing on a specific angle that has a high impact on the subject and that we can actually have an impact on.
If you want to play this game then sure. Your conclusion contradicts science. If you don’t provide sufficient proof then you’re lying just like me I guess
You’re acting like a SJW and a science guy but you’re just pushing your own opinion without providing any proof and just spreading lies like "science says this" when it doesn’t.
You’re not defending anything but idiocy
I’m done talking with you. I’ve lost enough time to an hypocritical liar. There’s no crowd and this is going nowhere. We’re just both losing our time.
Demands sources, makes it clear they won't read any sources...
If you do have, I'll read it, but I'm done talking if you're not coming back with proof
