Can you explain how this wouldn’t defeat the entire purpose of moderation lists?

Really sorry to hear that :(.

No, it actually does make both of you transphobic, and denying all trans people the right to compete in sports inherently affects all of them by taking away their ability to do something cis people can do, but you just don't care. I wonder why that is. Oh wait..

Yeah.. the point is that your previous accomplishments don't mean much if you do awful stuff after. The issue is that you don't consider her transphobia to be awful, and pretty much all of us do.

When people claim that Harris lost because she was too pro-trans (lol) I'm reminded of Andy Beshear demolishing that idea by getting re-elected in Kentucky, and then wonder if her campaign should have run ads about how Republicans are creeps who literally want to examine your kids genitals.

Aside from how that absurd judgement where the case was bankrolled by a bigoted billionaire, where they refused to listen to a single trans person person, has nothing to do with sports, you really don't seem to understand that others sharing your bigotry, isn't somehow justification for it..

Do you think OJ Simpson's opinion deserved respect because he was a successful football player?

Pretty sure it's just intended to illustrate the bigotry of the OP, and not a thing they actually believe..

FWIW, I tagged them earlier and they're already on here.

Bigots, in fact, do not deserve respect.

Yeah, how dare people get angry at people supporting discrimination..
Also, you're both wrong on the politics too.

Aside from how you mean NOAA, not Noah, the post you're referencing has nothing to do with NOAA or Musk or NC. It's a joke about the old Newsweek "scary bisexuals" cover.

It isn't a red herring at all, it's just a very obvious demonstration you don't have any idea what you're talking about, but want to push transphobic BS anyway.

Simply declaring lots of people (more than 172,000 in the US alone are XXX) as statistical outliers, doesn't stop them from being people, or stop them from being women. If your test for who is and isn't a woman can't account for a vast number of people, the problem isn't the people.

No, I'm asking you to answer a simple question to clarify your basis for determining if someone counts as a "biological woman". If you can't answer it, maybe you shouldn't be making declarations about things you clearly don't understand?

So the 1 in 1,000 women who are XXX aren't biological women?

What specifically in your DNA makes you a "biological woman" then?

Yeah, he's nasty and also stupid. Or do you think Kentucky is a lot more liberal than California?

Not sure what that's meant to mean, but what exactly do you believe stops them from being biological women?

Sorry, Ms. Frizzle already got the bus fired up.

What do you think this joke has to do with NC?
comment in response to

You said they aren't biological, so what else could they be?
comment in response to

So if they're not biological women, you're saying trans women are robots?

It's not really a full weird food preference, but I have pure sucralose (600x sweeter than sugar), and because even a tiny amount of it is so sweet, I've used it to make some savoury food, like curries, a bit sweet.
Also, eating curry with popadoms as cutlery, the mini ones are perfect.

Because I didn't, but you're certainly making a concerted effort on that front yourself:

A mechanism which is distinct from blocking someone personally, which is what I said, and which is entirely why I tagged them to begin with. Which it seems like you didn't realise.
And I guess the level that's gotten you blocked and muted by thousands of people on here today 🤷♂️.

Once again. They didn't actually block you personally, they added you to the moderation list they run, which many thousands of people use to automatically block/mute bigots like you. Their account does the same thing to those on it. It's just Bluesky's UI doesn't say *how* someone blocked you.

It's always cute when bigots don't understand how Bluesky works.

Ah yes, as a cis guy, I definitely hate cis people 🙄.
