Part 1: Ima preface this by saying what anyone does with their life and their individual pursuit of happiness is their fuckin right and I will never stop fighting for your ability to do so… now the dreaded “with that being said…”
Name one transfem Olympian that this ruling protects against.
So I’m not going to spend a ton of time going through every story and source because there is so much toxic shit sources around this topic so I am going to keep the list simple and only guna list widely known sources of stories about athletes winning for Olympic sports. The list itself is pulled from a shitty source so fuck citing that source, I will only provide the sources for the articles each story was pulled from. I took tons of time to get the links formatted and checking the stories and sources so if the vernacular used in the actual list is not universally appropriate, please just disregard and read the story being linked. The linked sources for each story, I think are all applauding the trans athlete. *not Olympic athletes, just sports that are in the Olympics as far as I know.
Which of those girls are out there stealing medals?
Women’s basketball – A 50-year-old, 6-foot-6-inch man, who played on a college men’s team 30 years prior, played on a women’s junior college basketball team.
Women’s handball – A male athlete, who formerly played on an NCAA Division III women’s soccer team, now plays for Team USA Women’s Beach Handball.
Women’s bodybuilding – A male who had competed in men’s bodybuilding in the past started competing as a woman.
Women’s cricket – A male athlete competed on a women’s cricket team in England, and another male athlete previously did so in Australia.
Women’s cross country – A male runner competed on an NCAA Division I women’s cross country team and was named the conference’s “Women’s Athlete of the Week.” Running seems to be a talent where the gap between men and women is wider, even though I thought it was one of the sports where women had faster world record times than men but like I said not trying to spend tons of time researching cases because there are tooo many toxic as fuck sources for every good source. Including the story about the transgender runner who broke two women’s track and field records for New York college
Women’s cycling – A male athlete won gold in the women’s 200-meter sprint in both the 2018 and 2019 Masters Track Cycling World Championships. Another male cyclist first competed in the women’s category in 2017.
Women’s mountain biking – A male athlete who previously competed in the men’s open division won back-to-back national championships in the women’s elite division in 2018 and 2019.
Women’s power lifting – A male power-lifter competed as a female and broke several records before being disqualified.
Women’s skateboarding – A 29-year-old male athlete competed in a women’s street skateboarding competition in New York City and beat out a 13-year-old girl for first place.
Women’s surfing – A male athlete who previously won a Western Australia state surfing championship in the men’s division competed in the women’s division in 2022 and won two women’s state championships.
Women’s swimming – A male swimmer who competed on the men’s team for three years began competing on the women’s team and won a 2022 NCAA Championship in the 500-yard freestyle event. Another male swimmer competed on the men’s team for three years before competing on the women’s team and recording the fastest women’s times in three events at the 2019 Missouri Valley Conference Championships as an exhibition swimmer.
Women’s track and field – Two male athletes dominated girls’ high school competitions in Connecticut. A male athlete won first place in the women’s mile race at an NCAA Division I conference championship. And another male college athlete won the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA Division II women’s national championships. As well as the story of Ada Gallagher who set new records at Track Championship. This doesn’t even seem possible: trans high school track star sparks fury after winning girls’ triple jump by staggering 8 feet](aol.com/trans-high-school-track-star-174914172.ht…)
UN Report on balance of medals won by females vs females *If I read this correctly, it is fucking terrifying the UN could be so dysfunctional that a report done by a single person and no peer reviews or fact checking is able to get this much attention much-less even be released to the media by the UN.

- Comment on Meta to spend hundreds of billions to build AI data centres 1 week ago:
Are there any holes in the business plan that involves converting a dying social media platform thats already flooded with bots, troll farms and AI accounts into an entirely autonomous, isolated chamber of AI accounts, troll farm accounts and targeted ads? Zuck still fucks because of how horrible corporations are at applying KPI’s that show accurate ROIs between different advertising platforms. They have no clue if their ad blitz on Twitter was more successful than the investment in YouTube ads or if it was all a result of the current state of the economy at any point in time. It would take decades before the corporate whores finally pulled enough ads for Zuck to lose a buck. Im thinking Enron style minus the investing all employee retirements fraud.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 week ago:
Im not basing this comment on any research but even wiping out the entire .01% tax bracket’s carbon emissions, I dont think it puts even a dent in the industrial sector’s carbon emmissions. There arent many feasible options for producing food and goods for 8 billion people and reducing a significant amount of emmissions without having a plan that makes you sound like you are a evil villain out of the book/2006 movie “Angels and Demons.” Not implying that its futile or anything. Im just saying its easy to talk about but impossible when actually scaling any plan to account for prioritizing environment over keeping 8 fucking billion people fed, clothed and happy lol

- Comment on How do I start a crypto wallet 5 weeks ago:
All i thought reading this was, “Im super Hungary. I should do some cocaine to get rid of my hungar.”
Prolly outdated sentiment, haven’t checked crypto prices in prolly over a year. For all I know it could be more stable than the actual market and they solved the issues they were having with monster wallets pumping and dumping. So im not here to give any advice or comment on your decision but I will give you my experience in kinda similar situation.
I found that that the amount of work you will need to put in learning enough about crypto trading, asset managment, trading strategies and anything else it will take to turn enough of a profit to make it worth it, you will prolly in hindsight think, “it woulda been more efficient getting a second job and investing the paycheck.”
Like I said, never fucked with crypto but I did go through a 3-5 year phase of being balls deep in day trading and trading options contracts. Lost about $10,000 in the first 3 months I gave it a try before I ever saw a single penny and still dont think I ever made the initial lost money back despite hitting big a bunch of times. Including but not limited to the gamestop explosion, the AMC shorting among other meme stock swings.
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 5 weeks ago:
Every game that ever gets released when you check gaming forums within the first month of a game’s release lol /s
Im joking. I get the sentiment that a finished product should be fully complete and inspected by a QA team before release. But still, the fuckin extreme hatred ill see for the game and its studio, regardless of the company’s history, is soooooo fuckin wild. And almost everytime when I get to the point of buying the game, ill check the steam reviews and it’ll be mostly positive after like one patch release.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Id say every living president other than Obama has a record of supporting more deportations than Trump! Google says there were 17,000 deportations made last month which if expanded out to 48 months to cover his whole presidential term would give an estimated total of 800,000. Not sure what im missing here that is giving such a mismatch of totals but he is some how on pace for the least amount of deportations during any presidential term since before Reagan.

I get so pissed when I hear stories of the shit the nhl tries out in hopes of growing their fan base when all they need to do is strike a deal with a streaming platform that will allow local markets watch their local team. Ever since I got rid of cable, fuck maybe a decade now, I have all but gave up watching hockey. Yeah ill watch playoffs and yeah I know I can pirate a live stream for each game but for 82 games a year its asking a lot to search for a good streaming source.

So this is the type of discussion I was hoping for. I honestly didn’t even mean to trigger so many people by bringing up sports when the whole showerthought started cuz I missed my local team’s subreddit.
I can go on absolutely unhinged TED talks about how the local teams are trying to drain the city for taxes…
Don’t even get me started, we are in the same paddle boat when it comes to the ownership and the league’s use of tax payer dollars. The fucking Bills just set some sort of record I think for the new stadium they built by the belligerently small amount of money the owners are going to be contributing. The fuckin thing is costing billions and its just about entirely funded by 2 channels from the same source, the people of our our community. 1 channel is thru taxes and the other is thru some PPE shit where if you want to buy season tickets you need to give them like $40,000 as a one time fee into of the season ticket cost and also commit to like 10 seasons to even be able to buy a season ticket.
I know your reply will be “then why are you a fan still” so ill bashfully explain why in one word, community. The WNY community is my favorite part of the greater Buffalo/Niagara region and being apart of Billsmafia is such a huge part of it. We’ve never been a champion, until 5 years ago there were no bandwagons of fans looking to become Bills fans, its something you are just born into here. We put up with 8 ft snow storms, 17 years of missing the playoffs, losing 4 super bowls in a row, Damar Hamlin going into a freak occurrence of cardiac arrest and needing 10 mins of CPR to survive, and thats just the big stuff. At the end of the day tho, it forms a bond in the community like I’ve never seen anywhere else. When Josh’s Allen’s grandmother died, Billsmafia raised millions of dollars for his charity which came in $17 increments (his jersey number), now today there is an entire wing at Oshea’s Children’s Hospital dedicated to his grandmother’s name all funded by fans and member of the community. When we got dumped on with 6 ft of snow in 2 days, Bills players drover around house to house in skidsters plowing out people’s driveways. When Andy Dalton beat the Ravens against all odds and made it so the Bills would go to the playoffs breaking a 17 year long drought, Andy isnt even a Buffall Bills player he plays for Cincinnati but that didn’t stop Billsmafia from raising hundreds of thousands if not over a million dollars for Andy’s charity.
The idiots who own teams and run the league can get fucked, ill never argue against that but the men and women within each and every organization who have their boots on the ground, they are all amazing humans busting their ass off to make theirs and our community the best they possibly can.

We are in at the ground level of Lemmy. A lot of people like OP are passive consumers
For real? Im replying to almost every comment I get a notification, I made this post, I’ve commented on NFL posts among other comments in non-sports comms. How you guna just blindly call me a passive consumer lol? Not hating just couldn’t believe you coulld draw that conclusion while I felt I was borderline spamming the thread with replies hahah 🍻cheers tho, to your commitment to motivating any and all users to be more active.🍻

How original. Thanks for being the first reply to call yourself a nerd while grouping everyone who ever watched a sport a a bully. Sorry for triggering you with a shower thought about realizing the quantitative imbalance between % of world thst watches sports and the % of lemmy users who do not like sports.

Well have you considered the meat headed sports fans couldn’t figure out how to join lemmy? That maybe there are regular users on lemmy who might not all be of the same hivemind and there could actually be several multifaceted users who enjoy a wide range of stuff? Im not guna waste my time saving this reply as a draft to back out and re-eead my own post, but did my post even suggest a desire to expand the Lemmy community? I 100% thought it was a simple showerthought about how there are hundreds of millions of people accross the world who love their sport of choice so it blew my mind that there weren’t more users active in any of the sports communities I’ve checked out. I mean its baffling just from a pure statistical consideration.

My bad, i dont understand a lick of what his comment even says but it must make sense if everyone else can understand it if its obvious enough to throw insults as a reply.

This is exactly how I feel across all lemmy communities. Back in my reddit days id find myself writing out entire comments in full, only to delete them before submitting just to avoid a subsequent flood of replies. On lemmy I find myself leaving more and more comments even on shit I barely care about just hoping to drive more user discussions.im not complaining. I genuinely love lemmy and hated reddit, but I cant help feeling like im spaming posts with my comments.
