Thread is just most of what you posted already, in Korea he plays basketball with women:


Which helped his team win a 3x3 tournament with a reward being a trip to LA to meet the artist formally known as Ron Artest, who you can see is only slightly taller:


He wrote an article complaining about how hard he had it as a trans woman trying to be a basketball player in Oklahoma because nobody gives a shit:

There's a physical aspect of transitioning genders. In my case, transitioning from male to female, I lost much of my strength and ability to leap. But that in no way decreased my love for the game. It only gave me greater appreciation for technical skill and admiration for players who can find ways to affect the game without being athletic.

But the social aspect of transitioning genders has proven to be much more difficult. I go to regular games at a local college court. I made it clear on several occasions that I was transgender and was going to use female pronouns. That, combined with the changes in my appearance, should be enough to get people to accept it. I understand that I am a 6-foot-5 female with a male frame and voice, but I did make it very clear to these people who I was and what my gender pronoun was.

Sadly, I've been met by nothing but apathy from the majority of players. The most common responses have either been a meek “OK” or a complete brush-off. These same male players will continue to call by male pronouns during the game.

...

That's very frustrating from my perspective, because I'm still not at the point in my transition where I could be medically cleared to play in a women's league. Even just a women's rec league. And who's to guarantee that I would even be allowed in? Most people would just see Juwanna Mann, the movie man who became a woman to take advantage of the WNBA.

I'm Marina, a real human being who was cursed with a lust for the roundball.

I haven't given up hope, as I will keep exploring new courts and attempt to form basketball games on my own. But I've had to cut ties with literally every single place that I played as a man, and even a couple I tried to play at as a woman. The same was not the case when I played at places as a man — even a long-haired, “weird-looking” man.

Replies to the thread say he's in Korea on a student visa. His undergrad is unfortunately in political science.

"I'm Marina, a real human being who was cursed with a lust for the roundball."



I thought the thread was about literally stealing trophies and memorabilia (panties?) from North Korea's national team players

Well that's the solution for the Epstein files the McKinsey consultants suggested after charging their $10 million consultancy fee.

"Everyone is 12 years old" theory going strong

I know the whole point of the White House doing cringeworthy redditor shit is to get people talking (all PR is good PR, flood the zone, etc) but goddamn this just makes me miss wokeism because at least the highest offices of the land had a presentation of professionalism. 
 
We've had AI videos of Trump dropping literal feces on his enemies, copyrighted cartoon characters doing boomer propaganda, epic bacon videogame montages straight from a 2012 facebook page, when will it reach a point when some senior level staffer will speak up and say "hey this kind of makes our country looks bad/dumb"

[DavidCroquet]

I have the opposite take. I think this cringe fellow-kids-style internet politicking is here to stay. And will probably be global by the end of the decade, if it even takes that long.

We'll have a bire thread dedicated to highlighting the worst (best??) international examples, I'm sure.

That's the though guy behind the White House tweets?



Than again, he's probably never felt the soft touch of a woman so that explains it.

The irish are insecure hypocrites but they're so small time. De Valera signing hitler's book of condolence sums it up.

When a joke becomes reality

[benji]

I've tried to do this joke using things in the Balkans, especially because it's closer to the Middle East, there's actually Muslims in the area and legit ethnic cleansing attempts have happened in our life times and I just get the equivalent of blank stares or people acting like I'm describing the races from a sci-fi show.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

It's even better to do this joke about Germans after WWII but then you just get accused of being pro-Nazi.

Like I've said, every fucking leftist dickhead's argument falls flat when they all stay completely silent on Cyprus. 

Dirty fucking Turks invading and colonising a European country, murdering people, removing them from their homes, stealing land. It's should be a leftists dream cause, but because it's not the flavour of the month, they don't fucking care. 

Fucking Greta had to sail right past Cyprus to get to Israel the cunt.
