There is a difference between name calling and correctly labeling - you are an amoral bigot. So "the Trans" is name calling. So the next time I speak about say, a judge, I can't say "the Judge"? Is your argument, a general statement of "correctly labeling" or is it just for the trans community. Or can I say "the trans" community. Please elaborate, because I'd like to know what the correct terminology is for "the trans" community. I don't want offend anyone. “Trans” is an adjective, not a noun, so it can’t be said in isolation. Saying “the trans community” is perfectly fine since the adjective (trans) is describing the noun (community). “The judge” is fine since judge is both a noun and an occupation. Let me know if you need any other linguistic lessons. |

Couldn't one say "the San Jose player" or "Brooke", and everyone would know to whom you are referring?

I'm pretty sure if you called a black person "the black" they'd be pretty offended. Same principle here. |

Approximately 220,000 athletes in women's sports in the NCAA. So "fewer than 40" is about 0.015%, which hardly seems like "an insanely huge number". How many would it take in order for you to consider it excessive? 100%? You claimed 40 was an insanely huge number. You really have trouble with thoughts. |

Can't believe that Boise State chose to die on this hill. They can call themselves "martyrs" but in a couple of months/years, they'll probably be asking themselves "WTF, why did we do that?" LMAO........best comment so far. |

In a couple of years they will look back and say "we helped win the battle against that politically correct foolishness." |

the 80mph swings always kills me. where tf did they get these numbers from 😭😭😭😭 I typed "how fast can a woman volleyball player hit the ball", and part of the google AI answer is: The world record for the fastest spike by a woman is 112.7 km/h, set by Paola Egonu of Italy in 2022. Other fast spikes include: Tijana Bošković of Serbia at 110.3 km/h in 2021 Kiera Van Ryk of Canada at 108.1 km/h in 2021 Tandara Caixeta of Brazil at 106.9 km/h in 2018 112.7 km/h equates to about 70 mph. 106.9 to about 66.5 mph 80 mph would be quite "remarkable". 80 mph would be remarkable for professional men. They made the exact same claim earlier this year about a trans female, high school athlete who accidentally hit an opposing player in the head and gave her a concussion. My retort to that one was simple: (1) someone has a radar gun at a high school volleyball game?, (2) if so, this person is properly aiming it at the ball in the middle of a game to get an accurate speed?, (3) if so, this teenager is hitting the ball as hard as male Olympians? Not to mention the fact that kids get concussions in volleyball from attacks by cis-girls all the time. That's just an unfortunate part of the game. |

Not trolling, but what part of that statement is the "...disgusting trash of a hot take"? I was under the impression that the word "trans" was acceptable within that community, something akin to girl/gal or boy/guy, and the rest of the statement was merely an opinion. I looked on the internet and searched "Holier than Thou" hoping to see what you looked like, but your picture wasn't posted there. I think that particular site needs to be updated. I'll make a complaint on your behalf. You're welcome. Although I am gagainst allowing trans women in sport, I agree that referring to Brooke Fleming as the trans is not very civil, like saying the boy or the gorl when referring to an indivodual is rather dismissive. Lets try to hkeep a civil discourse. My 4 girls are terrific young ladies. Each of them have wonderful girls in their lives that will be friends for their lifetimes. They have also met numerous boys. Those boys are great young men who will also be their friends for a lifetime. While my sentence may not be well crafted it is dismissive of nobody except dbro1970. |
