    So in the same week we are told that a female lsu gymnast who rightfully earns 2M a year though NIL is a “ step backwards for women’s athletics” by NY times and a Stanford coach because of how she dresses, we are reinforced of the progress and inclusiveness of a dude going from 72nd to 1st place is a great thing for women’s athletics. #ridiculousness

    On your first rant. It is a free market, and people should be able to earn what they can.

    On the second, I do agree ex-boys should not be competing in girls sports. It just isn't fair to the biological females.

    It's funny, cause in all these threads most everyone agree with your second point, me included. But all the GOP has is culture wars left, so they have to continue to bang this drum.

    Anarchy is good compared to conservative Christians culture and values.
    As long as they can own the pubs, they’re good with it. No matter the degree of absurdity and complete lack of common sense.
    Y’all white cons must pay.

    GOP just got curb stomped in the midterms. Maybe they should think about focusing on real issues?

    Of all the disenfranchised groups in country, this obsession with the poor cisgendered amateur athletes is sad. I think it just highlights the confusion and fascination of gender dysphoria by some.

    If you're talking about the RINOs then I can see your point. Lol. They're just commies in denial... disguise.

    I’m pretty liberal in my positions but I generally agree that biological males probably shouldn’t be competing against girls. It suck’s for them but in life circumstances prevent you from doing somethings but other opportunities open up.

    The difference in comparison to team MAGA is that this doesn’t rate on my outrage meter.

    Won’t matter to the hateful dems. Real issues include stopping “progress”.

    When you have no solutions on the economy, or healthcare, or immigration, or anything that actually matters, you gotta culture war it up.

    They can keep leaning into it, and keep getting L's. GOP has won one popular vote in 20 years. Rather than evaluate why, they think people care about shit like this. Doesn't matter to me what gets your rocks off though. Culture war away.

    On The NY Times article of the gymnast it reported both sides of the issue. It didn’t “tell” us anything. It was left to the readers to decide. My decision is that it is good for the gymnast to capitalize on her value.

    As to the trans athlete I agree that is ridiculous but it up to the local community what rules they wish to have on such issues.

    Along with Libs of TikTok, Moms for Liberty is also on this, in an equally intelligent take. Stupid haters of the world unite!

    A picture book about seahorses, which touched on everything from their ability to change color to the independent movement of their eyes, threatened to “normalize that males can get pregnant” by explaining that male seahorses give birth; the Moms suspected a covert endorsement of “gender fluidity.”

    I’ll agree with one of your points, partially.
    There are plenty a folk who don’t mind drag, transsexual or whatever gender changing feeling they may get kind of thing. These folk may even actually seek out schools to encourage these behaviors. That’s cool with me. I know these people, but I have very little in common with them. They can have at it.
    Please know this however, there are a awful lot of folks who like me will not be interested in seeking these schools out. And we’re not hateful and we have every right to seek a climate that is accepting of common sense and traditional values.
    We can certainly have both ideals without hating one another. Libbies absolutely hate Christianity and those values put in their face. That’s fine.
    I do not care to associate with new gender MTV fad, anti-police, pro criminal people and I don’t vote to have these values encouraged in my community. That is okay too.

    I believe the GOP House majority will parade out multiple meaningless investigations and spend the next two years chasing their tail. They will make fools of themselves singing the false virtues of Trump and the GOP will wither on the vine.

    Yes, the NYT piece has been greatly mischaracterized by rightwing media.

    Woke NYT columnist has a problem with LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne: commentary

    Yeah, I think it's unfair and needs to be rethought.
