yeahhhhh… hasanabi was right, targeting trans sports was the easiest and dirtiest way to bring transphobia to the normies. people that don’t even give a shit about politics and don’t think about trans people one way or another can say “well at least sports are fair now”
Trans sports is where the boundaries between what people do with their own body is crossed into interaction with others. This is why it has become the favorite point to attack for conservatives.
This meme is way less impressive for someone living in Europe. Ryanair will take to to either for like 19 euros.
Next you’re going to say insulin is only €10
No, that’s a university semester, insulin is 5€.
Jokes aside, for the 'muricans here, a semester in Germany is ~300€, so about 1800€ for a bachelors degree.
Insulin is free of course, or rather included in the public healthcare
So much? It was 42€ a semester last I looked. Do the 300€ include a public transport ticket for the semester or something like that?
Oh yes it includes the Deutschlandticket
Jesus, Mr. Oxford over here. Here in my part of Europe, they pay you a six-figure salary to attend university. It’s unheard of to pay for it yourself. Must be some school.
Fake. CEO’s aight choosing shit. They’re going to Paris and Barcelona
Badminton is criminally underrated
It might have better PR if they renamed it to “Goodminton.”
They really bury the lede with the whole “shuttlecock” thing. When I learned that shit, it gave it an immediate boost in my teenage brain lol
Why does badminton even need to be separated it’s not a strength contest
Men have better motor reflexes. Speed and strength is also a factor.
Idk man when I see professional badminton they are smacking the fuck out of the cock
So I work on a military base in a building with less than 5,000 people, of which three have confided to me that they are trans and wanted someone to talk to and I have a niece that is trans. I have a hard time believing only 1 trans person per state has a desire to play sports with my completely anecdotal evidence. I don’t know what the real numbers are and I get that it isn’t the point but I don’t think it’s effective to diminish the number of trans folks that there are. I’m very confident anyone not living under a rock knows and is likely at minimum a friendly acquaintance with at least one trans person, whether they are aware of that fact or not.
Holy shit, insulin is ~$98 on average over there!?
That is literally the most expensive place to buy insulin on this planet.
Most countries have insulin available for ~1/5th that price or less, with many selling it for less than 1/10th of the US price.I knew it was bad over there but that’s fucking atrocious.
At least you’re more free over there than anywhere else though, right?
Right?It’s absurdly actually come down significantly in the US since 2021.
That $98 is a major improvement.
Yeah. It’s literally against the law for Medicaid or Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices. They have the largest insurance pools, and therefore an incredible amount of leverage, but nope. Gotta pay those insurance companies!
Yeah CEO’s and shareholders are driving it to the extreme, but in the end everybody wants their interest on savings/investments, their yearly wage increases etc. The whole economic system is at fault and America is driving it to the extreme.
You might not have to pay $.02 in taxes every year to accommodate transgender prisoners, but at least egg prices are down…right?
…right?
Sure they can. But with the boys.
Truth sucks.
Loving all your truthful examples and sources!
lol. the claim was that transwomen aren’t allowed to play, period. Not true, they might not be allowed to compete against women, but open category (mens) is open for all.
Here is one example: https://www.badmintonengland.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Participation-in-Badminton-by-Transgender-and-Non-binary-Players-Policy-–-Frequently-Asked-Questions-FAQs.pdf
Who can compete within the open category?
All players can play within the open category. This includes, players assigned male at birth, players assigned female at birth, transgender males, transgender females, and non-binary players.
Forcing a girl to play against boys and use their changing room is pretty fucked up dude. Don’t make yourself look even more like a dick.
Nobody is forcing anyone. But saying they can’t play badminton because they are trans is false.
Oh, right! They can just stop doing what they love! I’m sorry, my empathy-riddled ass didn’t think about this obvious solution.
No? They can play with the boys. Changing rooms can be arranged. Why is it important for a trans-girl who went through male puberty to play with girls that are smaller and physically weaker?
I should probably clarify that i mean compete in competitions, dont care in the slightest who or how they want to practice. That’s just fair.
How would you propose women prove they are not trans and can thus play on the women’s team?
