      Saying that the topic of “caring about transgender and LGBT issues” is promoted by the bourgeois is clearly not intended to indicate they respect those communities concerns.

      The “men in women’s sports” thing is just straight up transphobic, sexist misinformation.
      It shouldn’t need to be explained, but using “trans” as a label to attack a woman to delegitimize her sporting victory is just a hot mess of issues.

        Eh, yes and no

        The subject is still debated, and there’s no clear scientific consensus, even though the lemmy community will make you believe so

            Fuck off ragebaiter?

            I mean in just a couple of searches you find out that I’m not wrong

            Maybe one day you’ll learn that insulting other people that don’t agree with you isn’t the way

            And apparently I’m conservative now. Didn’t know you knew my voting opinions… which you got wrong

              Coming into a year old thread to stir shit up is basically the definition of trolling. Doing so in favor of the argument that there’s a plague of men pretending to be women to take over women’s sports is a conservative talking point.
              Arguing that there’s scientific uncertainty about how often this is coming up or if the boxer is actually a secret man is… Well I hope you’re trolling, otherwise you’re a bad person.

              So explain to me how telling you to fuck off is “ragebait”?

              Maybe one day you’ll learn that insulting other people that don’t agree with you isn’t the way

              Maybe one day you’ll realize that no one cares about your opinion on “the way”.

    I’ve sadly ran into this kind of thing before.

    I’ll never forget the assholes I found on Reddit who tried to say that it’s wrong to push for LGBT Rights especially outside of the US because it was “Pushing Western Values where they don’t belong, like a colonizer!”

    These people will come up with any excuse to be dickbutts.

    LGBT Rights are based and cool, and anyone who unironically uses the term “Biological Male” is not arguing in good faith

      depends, but in general they are

      and anyone who unironically uses the term “Biological Male” is not arguing in good faith

      I disagree on this

        “biological male” is if anything bad description of reality. A trans woman who has been on hormone therapy for a couple of years is biologically closer to cisgender women than cisgender men. And even more so if they’ve had surgeries. But usually people who use that term don’t care and lump everyone who was assigned male at birth into that category.

        I could attribute this term to ignorance because it sounds reasonable, but it’s far too often used to exclude trans women from spaces that other women belong

    Pretty much the only other time I have seen any transphobia on Lemmy is from a .ml user who called someone a chaser for saying they were married to a femboy. These people don’t actually care about LGBT issues - they are just trolls who use it as a cudgel when it is convenient.
