So few trans-identifying athletes and yet so many of them winning competitions.

kss94.bsky.social•16 days ago

How can you say that many trans athletes that are winning despite the fact that there’s a small percentage of trans athletes? When you said “many”, how many? What’s the magic number of trans athletes that are winning?

You claimed the number of men competing in women's categories was small. I linked you a list of events where men won or placed or got records in women's events.

Your only retort appears to be "this opinion piece says that gender criticism is a hate group", which is frankly daft.

SheWon also added Michelle Lesco, a Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest champion in the women’s division, to the list after a radio jockey once joked about her being trans. Lesco clarified that she was not a trans woman, yet SheWon decided to keep her on the list.

Feel free to remove those three, which are not counted in the athletic stats.

againstkookery.bsky.social•15 days ago

Scroll up from there and answer the cycling, swimming, running, track and field, cross country running events...

And about your source, SheWon:

Did you know that both SheWon and HeCheated included “sports” that do not appear to have a sex-based “biological advantage” at all such as poker, darts, billiards, and competitive oyster shucking?

Sounds shady, doesn’t it?

Feel free to remove those sports from the stats.

There's still a sizeable list of events where there are sex advantages, where men displaced women.

Are you going to address those?

Maybe talk to Dr. Ocobock about advantage:

First of all, that article that I sent was a fact check and not an opinion piece.

Secondly, since you can’t comprehend the contents of the article that I sent, here’s another article which points out that there were less than 10 trans athletes in college sports.

It was pretty clearly an opinion piece, as it seemed very eager to paint anybody concerned about the issue as a hate group, lol

kss94.bsky.social•15 days ago

And I guess that you’re the top expert on opinions.

againstkookery.bsky.social•15 days ago

Do you, personally, know what gender criticism is? Can you give me a definition in your own words?

againstkookery.bsky.social•15 days ago

Less than ten competing in one small subset of sporting competitions? Lol
