Best I can tell, the number is more in the 20s, and 0 in the Olympics.

Those that did win competitions, did not "steal" them from anyone. Shame on this news article and shame on the Department for Education Misinformation for spreading garbage like this.

Shame on this news article

Calling NYP news is like calling Vanity Fair news. It's tabloid garbage.

LOL. The only time Americans "care" about women's sports.

and its usually men voicing thier concerns, with a little bit of terfing.

It's not natural if a man doesn't want to control something to do with women. Must be all the new government mandated testosterone injections.

Can we see the list?

That needs to be branded on everyone who demands it of us. They're your enemy and should be treated as such.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Lyndon B. Johnson

Nothing ever changes except which marginalised group they target. But its always... ALWAYS the same strategy; get them fighting a culture war so that they are too distracted to notice the real enemy.

"A trans woman won an Ultimate Frizbee event! They're robbing women of their Gold Medals!"

#10 on their list, for anyone who cares.

Witchfire@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 8h

As a trans woman, I make sure to steal a medal with my coffee every morning. I have over 300 confirmed Olympic golds, as well as over 400 silvers and over 1000 coppers. I can steal a medal just by walking into Planet Fitness. I melt them down and turn them onto Estrogen injections that I then distribute at your local high school

Remember folks, this isn't about trans people, its a fresh new avenue for them to hate women.

If a trans woman succeeds, its only because they were amab, and they should be forced to play in men's sports. If a 5'8" 195 bearded dude succeeds but was afab, does he have to play women's sports? Of course not. He's a man.

Saying that blatant transphobia "isn't about trans people" is certainly a take. Them also being misogynists doesn't mean this isn't bigotry directed at trans people.

Edit: Also, trans men are routinely forced to join women's teams. Saying trans men are allowed on men's teams by the same people that want trans women to not be in women's sports is a lie. There just aren't many trans men who can join any sports teams, as almost all sports state that you can't take testosterone for any reason.

Story by this gem of a reporter:

"Natalie covers everything from weird news to crime and courts. She once helped expose the coverup of a cross-dressing groundhog who died after she was dropped by former Mayor Bill de Blasio"

So is that every Olympic Gold in the 21st century?

Deadeyegai@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 18h

Maybe not Olympic specifically, but still completely outrageous. What else from a bootlicker rag?

superfes@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 19h

Try to math that out...

My town gives out a little medal to every kid who participated in Little League, so I think they are counting that.

I thought this was part 2 of the onion. I guess it’s not.

theneverfox@pawb.social · 1 pts · 17h (3 replies)

Might as well be at this point... Mainstream media is cooked

aceshigh@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 17h (2 replies)

The onion had an article about a trans girl who transitioned solely to win medals at swimming events. The article ended with her saying she didn’t know how to swim.

theneverfox@pawb.social · 1 pts · 16h (1 reply)

That's not funny... Just like, satire done badly

And I understand it, no way in hell I'd be an onion writer right now.... The truth is so satirical that their job is impossible

aceshigh@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 9h

It fits with the absurdity of some folks obsession with trans in sports.

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 17h

Could someone in the US send them an freedom of information request for their sources?

ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net · 4 pts · 11h

I'm pretty sure most of them were not even gold plated, just painted gold.

lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 9h
