Well yeah, you don’t care about either side of the issue, you just care about inclusivity. The meme is making a point that most people that make these comments aren’t caring because they actually care about both sports (which would be the opposite of your situation), but because they are just bigots.
Solid point, applies to abortion too. I don’t know anything about the process and I’ll frequently see a reason for abortion and think “that’s another good reason”, and that’s why I believe in pro choice, things aren’t simple and banning abortion doesn’t help anyone.
It’s the total unwillingness to have any conversation that gets me. That’s only driving more and more supportive people away.
Athletes take steroids with life altering effects All. The. Time. But considering that even one person might be using support of the trans community to act maliciously is complete and utter bigotry.
Even if we assume everyone is acting in good faith… doesn’t this discussion go both ways? Don’t we want trans men able to compete with peers of their physical abilities?
There will never be a one size fits all solution. But “lol they want to discuss it fucking transphobe”… you don’t need me to state how unproductive that mindset is.
I’m not into any sports at all, of any kind. I dont think I could even name 10 athletes in total - either male or female.
I’m also pretty sure that wouldn’t be a blocker on me having a meaningful discussion about trans inclusivity in sports
