It’s not at all controversial among normal people. But many universities in the English speaking world, and some critical sporting authorities, are under the control of a managerial class representing a powerful cult. One of its central dogmas is “trans women are women”; if that is true, then there is no basis to exclude trans-identifying men from women’s sports.
- okareaman 5y agoTo me it feels like another example of men making rules for women that women have to abide by. From what I read on Twitter, a lot of women aren't having it.
- leephillips 5y agoThat’s exactly what it is. An insidious resurgence of a vicious strain of misogyny that we probably thought had been stamped out. But I feel the pendulum is swinging back, as you’ve noticed on Twitter.
- garbagecoder 5y agoMisogny is moving further down the oppression pyramid towards antisemitism, which no one cares about at all.
- okareaman 5y agoI don't think people don't care. I think it's very hard to talk about. For example, are antisemitism and anti Israel policies the same thing or is it a spectrum?
