I'm done here, had a few weeks to think about it down and I can't think of a good reason to stay in a forum where a guy can make a bigoted insult towards my disability/illness casually in a current events discussion and get defended by most people there including long standing members and most...

I can't be arsed to go back through the pages now but there's some dodgy stuff from various people along those lines. At the very least it's quite insensitive in my opinion, to me at best it's like saying an important medical treatment is just a choice when it's a necessity for many. I think...

One side of the debate has also compared trans athletes to men putting on a bra and knickers and competing against women and said that its a small price for trans athletes to pay to be excluded from elite sport because they are lucky enough to be trans, whilst the other pointed out that trans...

:wenger:

And all the others!

It's not baseless when you've got people like marukomu posting his bollocks about men just putting on a bra and knickers and competing, whoever said being trans is a choice (not you), and multiple people directing ableist insults at me and being backed up for it.

In the context it was backing him up and what he said was vile. It's not my fault you didn't read the post of the person you were backing up and find out that it was actually bigoted. If he'd said the n word or something I think you'd be a bit more apologetic but I guess angry disabled people...

In my eyes biological women without gender dysphoria as you put it are not missing out as much with trans competitors being included. as the trans people would miss out by not being able to compete as the women they are. I didn't mean to say that women's careers in any sense are immaterial so...

I called him a bigot because he used a bigoted insult against me and you backed him up. Did you miss the "or"?

You're still wrong. Or lazy and unfocused compared the top competitors in your sports.

You said it was purely down to hard work and mocked the idea that privelige had anything to do with it.

Do go on

Well we went off on a little tangent about top level athletes already being quite priveliged, whereas you seem to think that has nothing to do with it and all success comes from hard work.

I'm just curious that you had no privilege or natural advantage to get to where you go to and it was just hard work. But if that's true then you didn't work hard enough to make it to the top which must have been something you wanted as a self professed competitor. If you didn't work hard enough...

But you didn't make it to the top. Did you just not want to?
