It's not okay to have your own opinion any more.
You have to believe what the authoritarians tell you to believe and apologize for having independent thoughts.

This transgender BS needs to stop. It is ridiculous and appears the be the new hammer of the progressive thought and speech police to beat down anyone who is sane. Below is a perfect example of the insanity of not being able to communicate common sense truth without the progressive lynch mob coming for you.

Openly lesbian tennis legend Martina Navratilova has been a hero of sorts to the LGBTQ crowd — until now, that is, when she dared to tweet that males who simply “proclaim” themselves females to compete in female sporting events are unfair and wrong.
For that, she was vilified by the transgender community. For that, she was characterized as a bully.
For that, she was forced to apologize.
But why? Navratilova only spoke the truth.
She initially tweeted, in response to a question about transgender women in athletics, this: “Clearly that can’t be right. You can’t just proclaim yourself a female and be able to compete against women. There must be some standards, and having a penis and competing as a woman would not fit that standard. …”
This is all true.

This conversation has moved far beyond your virtue-signaling victim mentality.
Nice word salad there. Very impressive.
That is if you look at sports from a purely sports perspective (as any self respecting sports fan would.)

The pursuit of happiness is in my opinion, one of the most important ideas from our constitution.
What transgendered people are doing is just that. Pursuing their happiness.
What they are doing does not stop me from pursuing mine.
If your a patriot and you love the document this country was founded on then let them pursue their happiness and you pursue yours.

Genuine question: should Rachel Dolezal be able to legally demand that we refer to her as African American, even though it's been conclusively proven that she isn't? I ask this as a parallel to the transgender issue of this thread because:
(a) she tells people that she 100% identifies as black, and 'feels' black; and
(b) she has undertaken cosmetic changes to appear black.
Does that mean she should:
(1) be able to legally demand to be called African American?
(2) apply for scholarships, awards, jobs or grants established for African Americans?
(3) be considered as African American for any 'diversity hire' quotas?
If so, do you think actual African Americans have the right to feel cheated or diminished? If not, how is it different to the transgender issue? She is biologically identical, after all?

The IOC (International Olympic Committee) actually changed their rules from 2 years HRT, to only one year HRT--all because of these "but I'm a woman!" creeps (totally ignoring the science as to why 2 years HRT was set as a requirement), and Hannah was one of those voices.
I'm 5 foot 11 and just under 200lbs (not even in the top 5 of the largest women (all cis) on my team, let alone the whole league), she is 6 foot 8 and over 300lbs, but has absolutely no skill. The cis women I know who play AFLW are no wallflowers, and could easily play with the boys because thats what they had to do in the past when there was no womens league. Hannah is just an opportunist and has used the media to play the victim.
She did this whole "wow is me, I'm homeless now" because she moved states to try get selected. She set up a gofundme because of her ego and her poor decisions, and people flocked to it. Nobody from the "trans community" did anything for the few transwomen locked in mens jails here, so their priorities are more about playing the victim rather than supporting the most disadvantaged.
Of the transwomen who spoke against her and the "special treatment" Hannah demanded, I am one of two--and everyone hates me because I mentioned the taboo "bone density" which doesnt change for YEARS on HRT.
I have read some of your posts here in the past, and while I dont agree with everything you say, you have brought up many issues that need to be discussed (AGP for one) that are silenced by the "trans" crowd. Dont ever let them silence you just because some opinions may make them uncomfortable.
An honest discussion needs to happen without bald mean screaming "but I'm a woman!".

So much hate and ignorance in this thread.
That’s my opinion, and you shouldn’t jump on me and disagree with me, like they did to Martina. Right?
Can you please quote the hate and ignorance in this thread that you’v identified?? Because I can’t seem to locate it.
I don’t have to. That’s the great thing about opinions - they can be based on untruths - just like Martina’s opinion was.
