I'm no fan of the first two Kelvin films but even I think that's a ridiculous statement. Regardless of personal enjoyment, they kept the flame going for years between the dearth of Trek media on television, and proved it was still commercially viable.

I knew at least one person, likely many, many more, would post this. What else needs to be said here? Other than he needs to be forcibly ejected from that building already?

I am frankly flabberghasted. How the hell are we HERE?! What the hell is that senile old idiot DOING in that office when he should be in a damn nursing home?!

My wife and I are in this picture and I love it

Uh-huh, because you have personally looked into the chromosomes of every single athlete to ever compete since the Olympics was founded to come to that conclusion? Or are you just trying to justify exclusion which is proven to be unjustified?

Also, minority is not a reason for exclusion.

It's blatant transphobia, against a group who -- in 20+ years -- have won precisely ONE gold medal. And it wasn't even a trans woman, but someone identifying as non-binary.

That alone should show you how absolutely moronic this is.

Again, that definition of "males" is scientifically incorrect, bigoted, and against consensus. So the fact they've made that determination isn't proof of gender vs sex, it's proof of bigotry and unscientific methodology worming its way into another institution.

That's the only way I can really cope with that insane decision. I consider the Smallville sequel comics to be the "real" continuation and the Crisis Smallville-Clark to be some weird off-shoot.

That would terrify the crap out of me. Do you reckon it did some kind of internal damage there?

Before you come to a conclusion like that, perhaps you should at least find out the real scientific consensus on the topic, rather than the false narrative pushed by TERFS.

If you don't want to read the whole thing where they site every source and study, at least see the conclusion:

In other words, the Olympics committee, as I stated, are anti-science and ignorant, having ignored scientific consensus.

So my first point stands.

That's the TL;DR version if you don't want me to continue taking the anti-trans position apart with non-cherry-picked facts. I can easily continue.

So she was RIGHT that people "misattributed" her success to her decades-ago history. And transphobes never talk about morphological aspects of transgendered people when they discuss this topic. They only focus on the "But they were born male!" part, which is to ignore extremely important factors.

On the topic of exceptionalism in athletes, Anne Andres has been taking HRT FOR TWENTY YEARS. It was already concluded that trans athletes on HRT are considered within the range of their chosen gender, so the fact that she managed to win is a testament to her training, NOT the fact she is trans.

This isn't getting into the sheer amount of complications concerning how we define gender in the first place, and the number of variations on chromosomes such as XXX, XXY, XYY, XXXX, XXYY, XXXY, XXXXY, or even XXXXX, any combination of which could ALSO potentially be a factor in performance.

who perform various athletic feats both before and after their transition, compared with cisgendered people in the same field. And after looking at hundreds of cases worldwide, it was determined that being exceptional isn't exclusive to trans people, and that isn't enough to justify exclusion.

"While sex differences do develop following puberty, many of the sex differences are reduced, if not erased, over time by gender affirming hormone therapy."

The study is extremely fair and balanced, comparing the performances of trans athletes, military members and others,

A meta-data study from the Department of Exercise Sciences and Recreation, overseen by numerous accredited professionals, came to this conclusion at the end of this study in 2023:

"Individuals should not have to make a choice between being their authentic selves or being athletes."

Thank you for doing at least some leg-work and actually linking things, that's much more than your average transphobe does.

Unfortunately for you, none of what you linked actually proves anything, and I can break it down for you pretty easily

First, let's talk about the scientific consensus:

You are objectively incorrect

You cited zero actual facts. Come back with something concrete to prove your claim. Chances are you won't, because you don't have any.
