  • The reason athletic sports are segregated by gender is because physically, cis men vastly outperform cis women. Like, if we got rid of gender divisions altogether, cis men would be the only ones competing. I think it’s unfair to both cis and transgender female athletes to effectively bar them from competitions altogether.

    For nonathletic sports, it’s more complicated. In chess, for example, the best female chess player in history is the 64th best chess player overall. The second best woman doesn’t break the top 140. I assume this is because of historical discrimination against women in the chess community leading to them being underrepresented at the top. Having women’s divisions is good because it encourages women to play.

    To be clear, trans women are women, so it only makes sense to have them compete against other women.











  • What a weird comment to downvote. Literally just factual information. Thankfully I saw this before the deletion, so I can still call you out for having the reading comprehension of… well, an average Lemmy user tbh

    So obviously I didn’t encourage people to leech. I was literally only talking about the legal aspect of streaming pirated content. I don’t actually know if avoiding seeding keeps you legally safe when torrenting, so I avoided commenting on that
