This is how group-based thinking works and why it’s always anti-liberal and always divisive, usually destructive. We can recognize the group-based ideological mindset at play when the main metric being applied to people for position on the allied/enemy scale is morality: an activist ideologue committed to framing the world through this group-based lens is highly moral, whereas everyone else is on a graduated scale into evilness based on how far from a full on True Believer one may assigned by the ideologue. The ideologue sits in perpetual judgement of all other lesser beings and uses the tools of accused thought, cherrypicked words, and labeled deeds to justify the vilification of these bad people.

Off topic, but did you see International Rugby League had to actually bother issuing a ruling to not permit trans women playing.
For fucks sake. Honestly. Don’t these trans have ANY common sense when it comes to sport???

The ruling by the International Rugby League (IRL) is to “ban transgender women from participating in sanctioned women’s matches until further notice.”
And it relates to biological males playing and dominating women’s rugby games like shown here.
So none of these transwomen competitive athletes care in the least about fairness or reality, which is why all sporting organizations need clear biologically based guidelines.

I just have to throw my arms up in the air. I don’t care if someone wants to transition to becoming a zebra. The simple fact, though, is this: if you’ve been through MALE puberty you are going to be bigger, faster, stronger than most woman… even if you don’t try. It’s just common fucking sense that you CANNOT fairly compete against women in sport.

JZ, I think there has to be an unusual level of narcissism to be a male, identify as a ‘woman’, and then go into competition against females. Puberty in these cases is the ultimate performance enhancing drug one can take while pretending any criticism of unfairness victimizes you!
