Agreed. I was just pointing out that technically democrats have a modicum of power right now even though it's almost certainly going to get squandered while Trumpists declare the left at fault of everything and prepare more attacks

He is a Nazi but democrats can filibuster budget bills so controlling the entire government doesn't mean everything in terms of budgetary actions. He is right that Democrats blocked the bill. Just not right in the slightest amount about the reason why.

Bigger is the introduction of some sports where research is actively being done and still inconclusive such as disc golf which contributes 181 of their medals and biological advantage is still being debated.

Anyways have a great day and thanks for listening to my rant

However, one section that can be talked about is the inclusion of some sports that there is no evidence men have any biological advantage in. Poker is included? (Admittedly only 3 medals are reported lost but still) Snooker and Billards?

Huh sorry still learning bluesky. Did not realize that's how that worked

Actually nevermind. I can acknowledge where I messed up. The section about small events versus elite sports will not happen because while many of the reported events are extremely small and local, most often Shewon.org only cites the championship of the local event which I had missed.

This isn't a lie or anything and I do fully understand why they might want to do this but it severely inflates the number when most competitions where a trans athlete wins are multiplied by three.
The next matter that needs to be discussed is small events and elite sports

Now for my big problem with the data: They over represent the number of awards the may be lost by a AFAB athlete to an AMAB athlete.
This is done through placement awards. If a trans athlete gets first place then 3 medals are counted for first second and third that were knocked down

Last thing on the organization before we get into my problems with the data:
They simultaneously misgender every trans athlete and say the right name. They will say Stephanie and he in the same sentence. I honestly don't know how to react but I'll leave that up to any readers of this thread.

Firstly let's check out the about page:
(I'm paraphrasing)
"Run by a team of volunteers who accept submissions to the page then review them to make sure that the winner of the award was trans and check the official records."
Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they do this.

Ignoring the biases of the organization that submitted it, let's look at the actual source itself.
Shewon.org
"Dedicated to archiving the achievements of female athletes who were displaced by male athletes in women sporting events."
Interesting source but I need more words so onto the next

This website is dedicated to archiving the achievements of female athletes who were displaced by males in women’s sporting events.

So what actually is this organization that submitted it? The organization is Women's Liberation Front a well known trans-exclusionary radical feminist organization.
Very unbiased organization submitting this source. (I have attached the actual UN document and this is 29 in the footnotes)

Firstly, they cite the UN source in order to provide legitimacy to their arguments because which liberal wants to dispute the UN.
The thing is many UN posts are filled with submissions by independent but relevant organizations who want to add detail. That is the case here.
