Today I learned there were two trans "women" in the French women's basketball 2nd Division

During the 2025-26 season for a club team in Monaco, Tétart dominated the second-tier French women's basketball Ligue 2 by dropping 21 points per game while grabbing 20 rebounds

Meanwhile, Tétart destroyed Ligue 2 so badly that there were collusion allegations being made against league captains and coaches who voted on the MVP award.

Those same voters are alleged to have excluded 43-year-old trans player Aurore Pautou (14.4 PPG, 7.7 RPG) from winning postseason awards.

First off I'd like to hear some examples but secondly... so what? The whole point of segregating sports by sex is to avoid having one gender dominate the entire sport so that also applies if women outdo men

Because it exposes you TERF hypocrites:

Also, a few years ago that one PhD "expert" on Twitter who originally popularized this claim revealed the only example she had was skeet shooting.

Holy disingenuous comparison Batman!

[DavidCroquet]

I do foresee that women-only sports advocates will have increasingly have their positions distorted to "no trans person should be allowed to play any sport, and no mixed gender leagues should ever be allowed".

Men in women's sports is an absolute albatross of an issue to try and defend, so the easier course is to pretend that Sophie Cunningham and every sane person is saying AFAB trans men middle schoolers should be barred from playing flag football with cis boys (and that nonbinarys should be forced to live in the undercity, obviously).

34 and 43. And both larger than all but two active WNBA players. 

edit: Holy fucking shit it isn't even the top league in France, it's the second tier one.

The easiest way to make this class of "progressive" (aka chuds) believe something is simply state something without evidence that seems like it runs against conventional wisdom and would be this major revelation if true that also exposes some kind of grand conspiracy at work across all of humanity. Men and women are entirely equal in physical capability and the reason there's no women in men's sports is because the men made rules to exclude them to protect the men perfectly fits their preferred world view.

It's the same "secret knowledge revealed" that leads them to believe humans have more than two sexes and this has just been suppressed by men or capitalism or whites or whatever. And how the Zionists control everything with no effort at all.

Well, this shit comes into force tomorrow.

I'd like to thank everyone who wrote into MPs and/or has spoken out against it. Even if it was in vain it means a lot to see such support.

We'll get through this somehow.

Well, this is now in force. I'll echo Uzzy in saying a thank you to everyone who's written to their MPs, spoken out about it and donated to causes both fighting it and helping trans people in the UK. It has meant a lot to see the support, and will continue to in the months and years ahead. Over the past ~7 years we've gone from blog articles of 'concerns' to now being segregated across large sections of public life, having education on us largely removed, and our healthcare outright removed (in the case of trans youth) or under threat (trans adults). Across this time there's been no meaningful action on our actual issues, and access to public healthcare is still gatekept to the tune of decades for a first appointment with a gender clinic. Of course, none of this stops trans people existing, but it will have a significant impact on many of us – increasingly the more marginalised within our community. It will cost lives, the removal of healthcare already has.

To all my trans siblings in the UK – love and hugs to you. We'll continue fighting it, continue being present, won't segregate ourselves willingly, and will eventually see the other side of this. It won't be soon, but it will come. There will be a time where this is all seen for what it is, and the people involved seen for who they are. Until then – stay safe, be kind to yourselves, and take the time you need if it gets too much at any point. To those starting their journey, none of this invalidates who you are. Whatever the headlines say, whatever comes out the mouths of politicians. You are who you know yourselves to be, and deserve a life lived as that person.

Eat shit, you hypocritical gooners

You can see why declaring it to be "essential" and "life-saving" is so, well, essential. It means that with these magic words employed the system has to eliminate waiting lists and prioritize them in the distribution of resources over everyone else.

Women of Color are the Pitbulls of Humans.

[benji]

Y'all are so ignorant and anti-science. Racists don't believe people of color are humans, so of course they wouldn't believe women of color are human women. What is a woman of color going to do? She can't prove she's a woman because the white supremacists can simply say she's not because she's not white. This is why the only acceptable system is to accept whatever anyone says. I can't believe I have to explain this to y'all in 2026.

I mean speaking of sports, how many sports were segregated because a woman beat a man at it? You won't ever hear them mention stuff like that.

Famously, mixed skeet shooting at the Olympics ended after a woman won gold in the ‘92 games.

PlaSma directed a play?! This fucker had an autistic multi day crash out because he couldn’t complete the first major dungeon in Baldur’s Gate 3 how on earth could he ever manage actual human beings?

Absolute BULLSHIT

He's had an extensive amount of schooling in theater and it was probably in that, he legitimately did go to "comedy school" aka attended a Second City branch as anyone can do. Typically you would produce/direct a play through these. He also seems to have tried to make it in actual theater but mostly as a hanger on from what I could tell. I could find a listing for him in a play many many years ago but it also was close to when he would have been in college so may have been why he was in it. He also did a one-act one-person play as part of his time in college.

Famously, mixed skeet shooting at the Olympics ended after a woman won gold in the ‘92 games.

If you believe the genocidally transphobic, Zionist and fascist New York Times, it was decided before she even won:

Answer this: What do you think happened next, after the first woman earned gold in Olympic skeet shooting? I pose this question to my students at Arizona State University in our course on the history of the Olympic Movement. Every time—every time!—they respond (intuiting from the question that a change took place) that the men and women were split into two separate gender categories, with a men’s competition and a women’s competition.

But this is not what happened next because what happened next is worse. Although mixed-gender shooting was already on the Olympic program, the International Shooting Union, at a meeting in April of 1992, and therefore ahead of the Games, elected to bar women from shooting against men in future events. But instead of holding separate men’s and women’s skeet and trap shooting, the mixed-gender event would become men’s-only.

That this would mean the elimination of participation opportunities for women in skeet and trap did not seem to worry Shooting or Olympic officials. That the defending gold medalist could not defend her gold because her opportunity to shoot skeet had been eliminated must not have been part of the subsequent consideration.

...

Lindsay Parks Pieper, associate professor of history of sport management at the University of Lynchburg and author of the book Sex Testing: Gender Policing in Women’s Sports, has shown that sex testing is a form of gender policing: Social, cultural, and political ideas about femininity and womanhood inevitably always have influenced understandings of who is “woman enough” to compete in the women’s category. But because bodies do not fit neatly into two categories, and biological sex, gender presentation, and sexual orientation influence outsiders’ perspectives of “what makes” a woman, women athletes’ bodies are inevitably surveilled and policed.

The desire to fit bodies into two categories of competition has meant that some women who want to compete in the women’s category are required to take drugs or have surgery to make their bodies conform with sports officials’ ideas of who is fit to compete in the women’s category. Today, women with high testosterone who compete in running events from 400 meters to the mile must have surgery or take hormonal drugs to reduce their testosterone to below 5 nmol/L to become eligible.

Sebastian Coe, the president of World Athletics, the international federation for track and field, has not been shy about his and his organization’s desire to remove these women from the middle-distance events, in what he calls a quest for fairness and acknowledges is at the expense of inclusion. In an interview with Matthew Futterman of The New York Times last month, Coe said, “Accessibility and fair competition are not always compatible, and when they aren’t, fair competition has to be the overriding principle.”

But critics see World Athletics’ conceptualization and practice of “fairness” as discriminatory and harmful. And a team of researchers raised concerns with the “science” behind the World Athletics-sponsored study holding up the new regulations. Surgery and hormonal therapies are unnecessary medical interventions, and for this reason, experts and human rights organizations consider the World Athletics rules to be a violation of human rights.

Additionally, nearly all of the highly public cases of affected women have been African women. Hardly any women have opted to modify their bodies to appease World Athletics. They have chosen to drop down in distance to the 200 meters, like new Olympic silver medalist Namibian Christine Mboma and her countrywoman Beatrice Masilingli, or move up in distance to the 5,000 (and even 10,000) meters, like Burundian Francine Niyonsaba, the 800-meter silver medalist at the Rio 2016 Games.

Much like how Zhang could not defend her Olympic gold in Atlanta in 1996, all three medalists, including Olympic champion Caster Semenya of South Africa, could not compete in Tokyo in the 800 meters without medically altering their bodies to adhere to the new testosterone regulations. Many feel Semenya, the winningest 800-meter runner over the decade leading up to 2019, when the latest regulations kicked in, has been the cause and target of Coe and World Athletics’ campaign. She failed to hit the Olympic qualifying time to compete in the 5,000 meters in Tokyo.

...

While women with high testosterone and transgender women must prove they are “woman enough” to compete in the women’s category, no men — including transgender men — are required to medically alter their bodies to be deemed “man enough” for the men’s category. There is a lot of effort to uphold the binary structure of sports competition categories, and the burden of that effort falls on competitors in the women’s category.

Surprised they let something with so many facts even get published in their far-right rag, normally they prefer their readers stay ignorant of the world.

Oh, so they weren't really progressives.

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

I always wonder what examples they're thinking of. And how many of them would get attacked by others like Nepenthe.

There's a lot of dumb shit in that thread, but especially the entire framing of it from Messofanego. (By way of some shitty YouTuber of course.) It's not the GOP admitting anything, it's campaign consultants hired by one Republican candidate saying there would be increased turnout in a single media market, Milwaukee, because that's the base of her campaign. They're not talking about "socialists", especially everywhere in the country, they're talking about this one specific candidate in Wisconsin versus the other Democratic candidates in Wisconsin.

Moderate dems aren't moderate, because they think that's what you want. They're moderate, because that's what they want.

Then shouldn't they have lost every primary ever?  

Oh, they know. They've known for awhile.

They've known since 2016 when they submarined Sanders.

Oh, so that's why they win anyway.

The idea that independents, swing voters, and such are centrists or moderates has never really held up to scrutiny. Sure some people are there because they're genuinely in the middle, but most are vibes based and lack any guiding ideology. The stronger an actual political stance you have, the more likely you are to heavily favor one party or the other because even if you're moderate one side will land closer to you.

That's how "moderate" and "centrist" is defined. You're under the illusion that "left" and "right" are objective things guided by ideology and perfectly represented by the parties rather than entirely relative and vibes based.

Candidates who are real people with popular positions who bring enthusiastic voters into the process instead of nominating Holden Bloodfeast Jr. (he's less of a war criminal than his Republican father, we swear!) and hoping he'll get people out to vote for him because he's 1% less awful than his opponent, The Literal Reincarnation of Adolf Hitler?

Could never work. Would never work. Certainly hasn't been working lately. Don't try, just succumb to the imperialist shitlibs. And if Holden Bloodfeast Jr. doesn't actually work out, well, you know, it would have worked if it weren't for those goddamned leftists.

Ironically, this was the argument Hitler made.

Also, this is the woman who called the police on anti-genocide protesters. Yet Era is stanning for her. Sounds about white. That's how you know Era isn't remotely progressive. Exactly why the non-binary community fled.

 User Banned (1 Week): Concern Trolling, Previous Ban for Trolling

Fibromyalgia is no joke and I would not wish it on anyone even my worst enemy. This guy might be an edgy asshole but he doesn't deserve to go through that. I won't say I don't have selective empathy, because I didn't care when Charlie Kirk died but I can't say you shouldn't have empathy for bad people. It's just its possible to be so evil, it becomes impossible to extend empathy to you.
Based on the quote here, if this guy has gone that far I think half the planet should also in turn be without empathy and that's too far for me. We should try to be empathetic even when it's a challenge because empathy is a virtue.

To me this is the same as being against the death penalty. Because sending murderers to death is the easy thing to do, it's a self-righteous response. But if we are to say we are above murder, that is is a sin worthy of punishment, I think you need to walk that walk and be against state use of murder as justice. That's not to say that we cannot use lethal force to protect others, killing someone trying to kill you or your family is virtuous.

I'm thinking too much about this. Most of you will just say "fuck him" and never think about this so why should I even bother.

fyi, the term "biological make" is terfy bullshit. I know it's not what you meant, but a lot of trans women are, in fact, biologically women. "Biological male" is a bizarre redefinition that far-right transphobes have been trying to get into the general parlance, sadly, with some success. But it's a term that should be avoided, unless you're referring to either cis men or post-transition trans men.

Era has always been far more conservative than they think.



Hell, I remember the general consensus in threads about tattoos at work was the typical right wing "it's unprofessional to have them on display and would make me think less of you if I saw them".



It's centrist city here and any suggestion that they aren't as left as they think they are is met with anger and accusations of you actually being a right wing provocateur.

What a fortunate coincidence that everyone who disagrees with me is secretly conservative. Life would be much harder if I ever had to do any self-reflection.
