Why? It’s because Gay Scare no longer works so they have to try and panic people about a different “other” group.

Where exactly do you see yourself "on the spectrum"?

So, I wonder, if you're opposed to trans kids competing for the team they feel is the right one for them and want to stop them doing exercise and destroy their mental health... If you really hate children that much... then how do you police something like this?

I'm opposed to trans kids.

Young black swimmers are "disappointed and heartbroken" by a decision to ban a swimming cap from the Olympics that's made to cover their hair.
Soul Cap say the international governing body for swimming rejected an application for their caps to be certified for use at competitions.
They say Fina told them the caps are unsuitable because they don't follow "the natural form of the head".
So, a very slightly different swimming cap is an unfair advantage but it's ok for a man who's recently had an op to become trans can compete as a women weight lifter - and that's not an unfair advantage?

That is also a nonsensical ruling. There seems to be no evidence that it offers an advantage of any sort. FINA are saying they're banning it because nobody wants to use it. It's nonsense. It's like banning wearing baggy board shorts.
The only consequence of this is removing something that would keep kids in swimming when they drop out now because they're worried about their hair.

Yeah, I don't think I ever seen a blackie in the Olympics. But then again, I don't see colour, just the athlete.
Are they often there? Maybe in the 100 yard dashes?

No actually the swimming cap would be a DISadvantage which is why the ruling is even more bizarre. But anti-blackness is the rule and it seems normally to discriminate against those who have Afro hair so… The comment about them not being away that any swimmers would ever require this though was funny. It’s like they are so wrapped in their bubble they could not fathom that different people have different hair types. |

And in more prejudice against women with natural advantages: www.google.com.au/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/two-namibian-sprinters-banned-olympics-165218368.html“ Namibian runners Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi were disqualified from the 400m event at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo for having testosterone levels that surpassed International Olympics Committee regulations.” These testosterone rules again and sporting committees trying to define what is a woman Even the anti-trans crowd must think this is extreme. From all I can see these are just cis gender women who happen to have naturally high testosterone levels and they are being penalised for it. Yet Michael Phelps is praised for having an extraordinary body that keeps give him a natural advantage. Make it make sense |

Aaah it's that old racism thing again, apparently. You wouldn’t see racism if you were beaten over the head with it. This is discrimination in the basis of hair type which is almost exclusive to one racial group so…? |

I'd have thought a massive afro would slow you down in the water.
