Good for her. An explosion of popups scared me away from the site, but still - good for her. There are enough FtM dudes out there that I wonder if these reactionaries really thought out the "bathroom of your assigned-sex-at-birth" thing

Trans men have already been assaulted and arrested for complying with those laws. The purpose was always to drive trans people out of public life.

And their assailants were arrested and found liable for damages, right? Right?

Which shithole legalized workplace discrimination against trans people? Florida?

Pretty soon, bigots will be a protected class, while lgbt will not be.

No, they never do. They don't actually care about logic, they just want an out-group to discriminate, and all of their arguments are in bad faith.

The point is to simply make public spaces as inaccessible as possible for trans people in the hopes they stop existing outside of the closet. It's never about a consistent worldview.

One of the worst censorships I've ever spotted what even is this website

Clearly this is referring to one's 'biological sfx' as opposed to the fake and unnatural cgi.

Threat of injury. Because swimming is a famously and aggressively contact sport.

I mean it definitely isn't, but plenty of us managed to injure ourselves anyway. Thankfully the worst I did was mis-time a flip-turn and whacked my ankles in the gutter. Shit hurts. Several of my teammates tore stuff in their shoulders.

Still complete BS. At her age, competition is not what it once was. I seriously doubt you'll see sub 50 second 50 meter freestyle/ butterfly in that age bracket. Hell, I doubt there are many 45 year olds (my age) who can do sub 50 seconds.

Made me wonder if they are using AI to censor stuff

If they bother you so much, turn them off in your browser! You won't have to trust that the site implements the opt-out correctly.

Thanks for this comment.
Now I don't need to open the site before adding it to the blocklist.

Holy shit, this site is selling your data to every scummy company on the planet

I can't believe there's no photos

Shame.

GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 220d

There's a photo in the article? Her chest is blurred out but there is a photo.
