Why do you "hate to generalize?"

I know, I know. We've all been morally conditioned to reflexively feel that and say it, but it's a trap.

If you can't generalize you can't think. If you can't categorize, you can't think, you can't detect patterns, and you can't communicate to other people.

Generalizing is not a moral sin.

The non-West is not pushing this perversion. This comes solely out of the West.

As J.K. Rowling said, "The emperor is naked. He might be wearing lipstick, but his balls are swinging in plain sight."

Originally the story of the Emperor's New Clothes ended ambiguously. Modern versions added a happy ending where everyone realizes the kid is right. But in early versions it was left open whether they might instead have turned on the kid instead.

The entire IOC should be charged with aggravated assault. How fucking sick of a 'man' do you have to be to want to participate in women's sports, let alone pummel them. Back in the good ole days, my Father almost went to jail for kicking the shit out of a guy for hitting my older sister. However the deputy thought all was well. Fucking sick bastards.

Unforgivable. This is insanity. I want to rage and cry for this athlete- worked so hard to get to the Olympics and then been put in this position.

There's an excellent analysis of The Exorcist that explains the film is really about sexual abuse dynamics. I never would have seen this myself without the explanation in the video. I also think a lot (Some? Not all. ) of transgenderism comes as the result of abuse as well. Our society has been harmed by the normalization of hard core pornography, widely available for free, which has programmed the minds of vulnerable viewers to fetishize unhealthy sex roles and acts.

The trans athletes who like to beat up on women are transferring their trauma on to real women and enjoying it on another level, I'm convinced.

The "wokes" don't care, and I don't think there's anything that can make them care ... too many of them hate athletes.

When I was in a deeply "woke" MFA program, I was hired to TA a comics writing class by a queer female professor (because she liked my work). During one of the first classes, she pointed to a row of boys sitting near the back and told me not to give them that much time or attention. "They're on the rugby team", she said, "They don't care about this class."

I told her that I was on two dodgeball teams and two ice hockey teams and she hired me to be her TA, and I wasn't going to ignore students for being *athletes*. She looked at me with DIGUST.

This is a pattern I've noticed among many of the "creative" "woke" types at least. Complete contempt for athletes, especially those in team sports. A tendency to vilify them.

They might see Angela Carini (and others like her) but they'll never see her as someone worth caring about.

We saw this during the collective psychosis. It was revealed on various platforms that many lockdown supporters were delighted that gyms were closed, because they saw gyms as bad places where bad people went, and they wanted the government to torment the “meatheads” guilty of wanting to work out. Others suggested—completely seriously—that gym habitués “go for a walk” instead. You’re right, the woke hate fitness.

They hate these people because they know they can't compete, at any level.

Harrison Bergeron got it right.

*The Olympics has just made doping LEGAL.*

Here's a man beating a woman -- in a ring for sport. And all these Olympic "officials" are going along with it.

What's the difference in a female taking steroids (hormones) or a biological male going up against a woman?

This shit has got to stop.

I feel like all we can do is wait for the tsunami of law suits from astonished lil' trans darlings who discover all of their problems didn't go away like their teachers, doctors, shrinks, and glitter family and friends promised. The detransitioners are coming.

Doping is always legal for these gladiators. It's just became more morally reprehensible, via women.

Not one sport is untouched by the economic drive to get on top.

This is just an absolute case of possible killing with impunity. Let's look at the funding and sponsorship to understand why this will go on until someone says no to the whole model!

Expand full comment

I agree to an extent. People will always be competitive though.

The issue now, is that they are trying to remove the barriers between men and women.

Even with doping, there was always an attempt to keep things "fair." Weight classes, age and such.

This is like someone doping to train for the Olympics, and someone who was doping -- literally from conception. There's not even the illusion of fairness.

Everyone knows this.

Hey I disagree that this is the first time they tried to "change sex" to satisfy what you call competition drive.

Remember what the Russians did and "perfected" during cold war? They literally doped their females on anabolic steroids and testosterone (much higher doses than the freaks give bow to males or females!) to make them a gladiator par excellence! Several of these women are still alive, but most died young and sick.

Now you have a different process, now this competition is highly capitalistic, if literally pays millions to the most successful ones.

The corporations that advertise trough these trans males who now smash sculls for profit in front of the whole world DO NOT, let me repet that, THEY DO NOT see sex as important to their business. They don't see sex and that's why they're all pushing the trans "inclusion". It's a marketing scheme for them.

You can't turn the blind eye to that and say, hey, they "haven't done this before". They always did.

Also, in the case of Russia the drive was to technologically beat the US - it's ongoing - and their wast country still, to this day, dopes their males and females.

Do you know which sport blocks natural puberty in girls? Russian ice skating!

So, letting these men crush women's sculls happens because people were so propagandized thoroughly in every aspect of their social life that they can't see a smug man beating up a woman.

In the world of profit driven sports there's no sex differences. Or 'human rights'.

So yeah, greetings from Serbia.

I wrote one piece on Substack about those skaters robbed of their femininity in childhood because "the drive to compete is radically human". :)

Steroids and hormones don't change sex.

This is a biological man fighting a biological woman.

People will always cheat.

However, the cheating, doping, or whatever, was not institutionalized and signed off on by the Olympic Committee.

I'm sure there was a wink and a nod for the Russians, 😉👉 but this is different.

Cheating is literally being institutionalized, to such an extent that it's absurd.

Not as many people will pay to watch a one-sided fight. This goes beyond a profit driven model.

This is about driving "change" not profits.

Interesting... I just happened to be in the middle of a "what is a woman?" argument on another forum, about to write a longish response to address various claims including the "ethics" of denying a transwoman the right to claim true womanhood.

But then I came across this despicable story on ZH. So instead I just linked to the ZH article and said "here's your ethics".

This morning after seeing the footage I thought to myself, “will this be people’s breaking point?”

I doubt it.

The roots of demoralization are too deep.

I'm making this comment in many places today, that are talking about this deranged activism in the olympics and the larger sports world.

You will understand this Josh, because the mechanism applies across the boards (all ideological battles). You do not defeat the f'ing batshit crazy ideology/agenda by participating in it, even if your against it. Gays who are against the queer/trans/pedo pride evolution cannot fight and defeat it, by marching in the parades. You opt out and then protest. Marching with them, gives them credibility and legitimacy - while destroying your own position.

"The equation is simple. It will stop when the women refuse to compete along side these mentally deranged, opportunistic perverts.

Now I know the argument has been/will be “that’s not fair’. No it is not, however, fairness doesn’t play into stopping this. When women compete with and beside these men, they legitimize the men being there. Even more so when the women on the winning team - accept the victories of the man, that put their team on the podium.

College athletes are starting to understands this concept of delegitimizing this gender hustle/lie by opting out and it’s working.

Do this on a mass scale and this trans idiocy, in sports, will die on the vine. Otherwise, it’s just spinning of wheels and grousing about a situation women should not have to deal with, but one they continue to put themselves in. You don’t have to wait for a death or two, or regulators to stop this.

Walk away today and start the process and protests."

100 percent correct.

She really should have refused to participate. Breaks my heart after all her training and hard work.

Expand full comment

They all should have.

And yes, it's a shame about the training and hard work.

But women allowing this to continue, has demonstrated a few things:

- The oft touted "women's solidarity against male dominance and 'the patriarchy" seems as hollow and fake as the men competing, as women. As soon as the first woman stood up and refused to compete, they ALL should have stood behind and next to their sister and said, "We refuse to compete as well, until women's sports are only for women". But they didn't.

- The radfems are supporting the trans woman beaters - hmmm how is that possible, since their stock in trade has always been the "girl/woman power, men are the problem" garbage???

The radfem mantra is now "Power to the Penis sisters". It would appear that all you "cis" women are now bigots and expendable.

How are the radfem heroes not calling for mayhem in the streets over this??

Answer: Power and money!!

So women never mattered to them, past what they could use them to get or scam.

- Female competitors care more about the loss of training and chances to gain accolades, trophies, medals, sponsorship deals/money and yes scholarships - than they do about women being erased and replaced, as a whole.

The actions of the majority of women in sports, sure don't match their complaints and protestations.

As these incidents continue, the women who participate are literally telling the world - “I agree with and believe in this idiotic mania so much, I am proudly competing with this man and showing he belongs in my female sport category”.

Fighting a war comes with loss, sorrow, sacrifice and setbacks, but those have to be secondary considerations, to the goal/objective. In this case it's women regaining the unique and special place and status they've always had in the world - not just sports.

You women are in a war, whether you know it or not. Rally the troops and get them to all march in the same direction, against the same enemy.

Don't believe in god (because a loving god would have intervened a loooong time ago). I sure as hell believe in evil though. There is material proof of that.

I do not understand the level of insanity that makes people claim that someone using the wrong pronouns when referring to a trans person is LITERAL VIOLENCE, but a male-bodied individual actually punching a woman in the nose (and breaking it) is BEING INCLUSIVE.

So... "Lia Thomas" isn't allowed to compete but the rest of this bonkers insanity is permitted? Deranged Days. And it isn't going to stop. Not if the World Health Organization has anything to say about it. Which it did and does. In 2019 WHO reclassified "gender identity disorder" - then classified in the mental health section - as "gender incongruence" - and moved it to the sexual health section. Reclassifying it as a sexual disease/medical pathology turned psychotherapy into conversion therapy (gasp) and created the diabolical medical/pharmaceutical machine that has all of us paying for this "care." Mad, mad, mad, MAD world.
