Many female athletes understand why the pay is less, and so for them, it ceases to be a concern. This is a simple economics/demand issue that many people have no problem grasping. Some people struggle to understand the basics of economics, and for them, they think there is injustice in the pay for women’s sports. This same mentality would argue that every meal everywhere on the planet should always cost the same amount. However, the vast majority of people are able to understand why this wouldn’t make sense. It is just when emotional issues get mixed in with this basic concept that some people lose their ability to reason logically.
A separate and unrelated group of female athletes would prefer to compete with other people who are genetically similar to themselves so they can see how they rank amongst their peers, and for them transwomen in sports is a concern.
These two issues are not directly connected, and there is no solid reason to bring up one issue to try to downplay the other. While it may feel like changing the subject is a way to win an argument because it moves the focus elsewhere, it doesn’t actually work against people who are paying attention. This is the sort of tactic that can be used on children or people who don’t really care about a topic, but it does nothing against fully mentally developed people who are genuinely interested in understanding.
Hi! You seem to be under the impression that I’m going to engage with your argument fetish, but you’re going to have to find someone else to take the bait. I do not engage in debate in which minorities are fine to remove from sports, and unfortunately for you since I have been on the internet for more than five minutes I am not swayed by claims of “just wanting to understand.” If you’re so concerned about understanding the issue of trans people being singled out for exclusion from sports you can RTFA ❤️
Well, no worries, before you are at any danger of having an argument or productive conversation with someone, you will first need to learn how to form a coherent point of view. Nobody has said anything about excluding minorities from sports. Sorry if that’s not what you are claiming, but I read your last comment several times but was unable to figure out what you were hoping to convey. I’m not sure if the issue was a poor combination of mistyping and autocorrect or what, perhaps you’re just sleep deprived or otherwise inebriated. 🫶
That actually isn’t what they are talking about. What they are talking about is whether transwomen(genetic men) should be allowed in genetic women’s sports. I’ve yet to see anyone saying that genetic men should not be allowed to play in genetic men’s sports. There is no exclusion from sports happening to any minorities here.
In case you are genuinely interested in this topic and not just mindlessly latching onto a cookie-cutter point of view, here is a different way to think about this issue that I have seen make some headway with people in your situation before:
If LeBron James came out as identifying as a 10 year old boy, would you want him playing against your son? Why or why not? If you answer this question honestly, it just may be enlightening. I won’t respond any further unless I see genuine effort on your part.
Give a reasonable alternative if you don’t like it. Unless, that is, your strategy depends on trying to pressure people into not expressing ideas in a clear way.
“Female athletes are more concerned about equal pay than trans people in sports.”
“Ah yes but you see, nobody watches or cares about women’s sports so equal pay is impossible.”
Yes, thank you for illustrating why female athletes are more concerned about that than a manufactured hysteria from the right, lmao.

literally everyone is talking about whether or not trans women should be allowed in sports. gtfo with your disingenuous rhetoric

oh God the genetic men phrase again.

Google is free! I am allowed to criticize your hateful language! And I don’t owe you shit! Hope that helps!
