Sheesh, that Olympics thread is a stark reminder of how US based this place is haha

What do ya think the inevitable Canuck spinoff forum will be called? ResetEhra?

[kaleidoscopium]

Absolutely insane to me to cheer on a transphobic person on a team supporting said transphobic person who are run by an institution that got more transphobic in the past month.

USA hockey is gross.

upset about this lol https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7005946/2026/01/29/britta-curl-salemme-fierce-athlete-transgender-women/

Britta Curl-Salemme, a forward with the U.S. women’s national ice hockey team and the Professional Women’s Hockey League, re-entered the debate around transgender athletes after she collaborated on an Instagram video with a group working to keep transgender women out of women’s sports.

Curl-Salemme and FIERCE Athlete, which aims to promote “true femininity in sport” and “empower female athletes to thrive in their God-given identity,” have been linked since the group announced her as a representative in September. But the video posted by both Curl-Salemme and FIERCE Athlete on Monday came weeks after the 25-year-old had distanced herself from social media activity that previously drew backlash from progressive fans of the PWHL.

Yep, Canadian Hockey is significantly better and outright debunks bigotry:
https://cdn.hockeycanada.ca/hockey-canada/Hockey-Programs/Safety/Downloads/gender-expression-and-identity-policy-faq-e.pdf

I’ve heard policies like this are problematic because of the competitive advantage transgender women may have in sport, which leads them to dominate. Is this true?
a. The athletic ability of transgender athletes varies, just as athletic ability varies with
cisgender athletes. Assumptions that are sometimes made about the athletic abilities
of transgender women include that they are always more skilled, stronger and bigger
than their cisgender opponents. However, the overlap in skill and performance in sports
among males and females and the wide variance within each sex are important
considerations. Sport accepts the competitive advantage a taller, stronger cisgender
female athlete may have over a shorter, less muscular cisgender female athlete where
size and strength are important (e.g. basketball), but this variation is questioned when
a transgender woman athlete is involved. According to the CCES, having financial
material resources (access to infrastructure, equipment, nutrition, training time, etc.)
are associated with advantage in sport, more than certain biomedical factors (2022).
The extensive literature review released by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport
(CCES, 2022) shows there is no conclusive evidence that supports that transgender
women have a consistent and measurable overall performance benefit after 12 months
of testosterone suppression.

Won’t this policy allow men/boys to lie and say they are women/girls so they can play hockey in the female division and win?
a. Genuine transitioning or affirming one’s gender is a time-intensive undertaking (whether
that is telling other people and/or changing documents and/or accessing gender-affirming care) and is not done on a whim. Given these challenges, nothing like this has
been reported and is highly unlikely. This concern often overlooks the constant risk,
discrimination and potential violence transgender women endure navigating through
public spaces, sport and life

I’ve heard that including transgender women/girls hurts cisgender women/girls. Is that true?
a. Excluding transgender women hurts all women by introducing additional levels of
scrutiny that could subject any woman (including those who are cisgender) to invasive
tests, arbitrary measures of being ‘too masculine’ or vague notions of being ‘too good’
at their sport to be a ‘real’ woman. This concern is based on the false dichotomy that
women are weak(er) and men are strong(er), rather than the more nuanced reality of
strength existing along a bell curve with overlap across all genders. The inclusion of
transgender and non-binary athletes will assist in the promotion of values centered on
non-discrimination and wider inclusion

I’ve heard that policies like this are problematic because this allows men to say they are women and enter women’s dressing rooms. Is this true?
a. There is no evidence that transgender or non-binary individuals use toilets or change
rooms to harass or assault others (CCES, 2016). More often, transgender and non-binary
people are at a higher risk of being victimized, harassed or assaulted in washrooms and
change rooms (Herman, 2013)

How can my organization or team make hockey more inclusive for transgender and non-binary people?
a. Listen to transgender and non-binary people with empathy, respect and compassion.
These stories are valid and important sources of information and knowledge.
b. Educate yourself. Please see the Hockey Canada website for a list of resources
that provide general and sport-specific information on transgender and non-binary
participant inclusion.
c. Think critically about your own ideas, perceptions and beliefs about gender, gender
identity and gender expression: Are some of those ideas, perceptions and beliefs about
gender impacting people in your life? For example, as a coach, are you familiar with
Hockey Canada’s new Dressing Room Policy?
d. Commit to using inclusive language and images. Honour individual’s pronouns and chosen names. When communicating use gender-neutral terms, such as ‘they’ instead of
‘he/she’, use linesperson instead of linesmen. Use phrases such as ‘everyone’ or ‘team’ in
favour of ‘ladies and gentlemen’ and ‘boys and girls’. If you need to ask for information
about athletes’ parents, use parent/guardian and avoid using mother and father, and
offer spaces for more than two contacts, as families come in all different forms.
e. Avoid making assumptions around people’s identities or relationships. You cannot tell
someone’s gender identity or sexuality by looking at them. Someone’s gender identity
or sexuality is their own to share; it is essential to never share with others (if you know),
unless they have given explicit permission to speak about them to others, including
parents or guardians.

I'd ban anyone cheering USA Hockey at least three months for transphobia. But we already know that staff on Era don't have enough trans members to provide for a safe environment.

If you liked watching the women play, please go to a PWHL hockey game. Support them! The games are awesome and it's likely the cheapest way to see a professional sports game. I have tickets to see the Boston Fleet play at Boston Garden in a couple months. Can't wait! Frankel really is that good a goalie!

If you ever see a Minnesota game, please boo Britta.

Finally caught up with the results of the women's gold medal game. Watched a lot more women's hockey this year because my wife started playing again. Very excited to celebrate the win with her. Very not excited to see it brushed under the rug by some here as a win for MAGA =/

It's a win for transphobia, unfortunately.

It really is neo-misogyny, men redefining femininity in their image.  I think more people are wising up to the bullshit cause even democrats are polling less friendly to trans shenanigans now.

Another thing to consider is that some of these games might just take a regular female body model and scale it down. I could see that explaining the "waists" and "hips" of the robot girl. After they enlarged the head they didn't think about it because she's clothed. If nobody on the team fetishizes that (or bare feet) and starts immediately masturbating to it in the office, you wouldn't know right away.

You know the sex robots are coming and YOU KNOW the Japanese will have 1000 year old dragon versions of those sex robots. They will be readily available, but in the West we will only know about them because some junior weeb will do a YouTube video screaming about all this paedo stuff and The Daily Mail will do a story for clicks.

reminds me of how patrice o'neal talked about black people supporting obama.


it went something like. they want to be critical of obama, but they can't because then they end up on the side of the racist idiots who just hate obama because he's black. 


a lot of people just fell on the trans rights at all costs groupthink because the other side looks like they hate trans no matter what. then trans rights became letting men into women's sports and pretending a male body doesn't have an advantage. letting rapist men into women's prisons because it's safer for the rapist and not considering the danger to the actual women trapped in the prison with them. the movement doomed itself.

I gotta be honest I hate the AI kid and find it very creepy. I don't trust the devs are not also fucked up and into this shit. There's just something off about all of this. They could've come up with any form of AI and told the story they want to tell. They decided it should be a child and I don't trust them for that. We know plenty of devs in Japan are fine with that L shit.

Watched it. No news there if you're paying attention, just stating the obvious that humanity has chosen greed and ignorance, and the margin call from Nature is coming.

This has been obvious for some time.

Fair observation, personally glad I didn't bring any kids into this shitshow.

We sure are in the endgame now, even more so with Donald Dump in charge of America. He is doing everything he can to poison the planet and the people just to enrich himself and his friends a little bit more.

There wasn't much wiggle room left but re-electing Trump slammed the door shut. Been trying not to think about it too much, especially since conservation is so important to my family.

Please don't scapegoat the rest of humanity, climate change has always been a deliberate decision forced upon the globe primarily by developed nations.

While I'm not a fan of the sensationalist language and have not come across this channel before, I can stomach half an hour if this is quite informative and has some info I don't know.

I tried to give the video a chance but seriously. Within the first minute:

• Claims humans will be extinct by 2100
  
• Cites someone who claims it is most likely half or more of the population will starve within approximately a decade.
  

Neither of these claims are remotely supported by mainstream climate science...

 It's still real to them.

Look, we get it, Twitter is the Nazi bar, but it's not just racist Twitter replies, but that absolutism is spewed elsewhere that you can't be black and this other quality, and this time it's about being cute/kawaii. Black women have been masculinised and black children have been adultified, while black men are sexualised and seen as the peak of masculinity. There are loads of stereotypes that are harmful, even positive ones. But you can't be black and nerdy. You can't be black and cute. Because that goes against stereotypes.

Being not black but South Asian myself, it's more you can't be south asian and desirable or attractive, as dating research would show. Or you can't be south asian and have a creative profession or anything other than being a doctor/engineer/IT/lawyer.

The point about gyaru is so on-point.

Anyway, Veridis Joe has a cool channel.

I'm sorry, but these feel like psyops to get people's personal information in the hands of dangerous companies like Palantir (Discord with Persona recently) via using social media as the scapegoat. I don't think these politicians care about children's mental health truly. This kind of method won't get to the root of the problems, that you would achieve through extensive funding for mental health services accessible to everyone at all ages. It's just preying on parents' insecurities and fears. Taking away social media won't suddenly make your child better with attention or connection.
