As a black same gender loving black man, I can see things that you cannot just like as a black woman you can see some things that I cannot.
Right. And you let your views and observations be known and in response, I take issue with how you are seeing and interpreting things regarding this matter / subject.
I am seeing things from not only a Black woman's perspective, but I am seeing things that are grounded in facts and reality that are not distorted by outside agendas, which are based on emotion / feelings (and in some cases, fantasy), that are still being pushed by lobbies (such as big pharma, the healthcare industry, corporations, media outlets, and Hollywood), rich private donors and lobbyists, and special interest groups.
Once again, the fact is that males are physically and biologically stronger and faster than females. Human males are physically built for war, hunting, fighting, and protecting others. Human females are not, we were made for softer tasks to maintain balance and harmony within our species. Exceptions (such as intersexed people) are not the rule.
We are aware that sexuality can be a spectrum and that not every male is a super hyper macho man and not every female is a very soft, delicate, meek woman.
A femme gay male, non-binary person born male, and a transwoman could compete with straight males... Just like an AG lesbian female can compete with a non-binary person born female, a transman not on hormones, and straight females.
You don't have to like facts and reality, but just because someone is gay/bi, feels masculine, feminine, non-binary, or a different person / gender altogether doesn't mean that we have to allow them to compete with or share the same spaces meant for the opposite sex. The fuck I look like pissing in a urinal for?
You may be able to "change" your gender, but XX (female) or XY (male) are the only two sexes. Anything else is an exception such as a disorder, syndrome, or anomaly.
That's "I'm Gay and I Say So" talk.
More like "I'm a Gay Man and what I say goes and if it doesn't go, then it needs to ASAP. Not everything is about you or Black or White!"
The problem is we do not want to modify tradition to accommodate reality. We do not want to adapt to new information. Dividing by sex worked well enough in the past, but obviously it's not working anymore. The cat's not going back in the bag, adapt.
That's basically what I've been saying the whole time. Adapt. Develop a new metric for divisions.
The new metric is that if you are not born female (XX, unless you're a female born with something rare like Turner's Syndrome), then you cannot and should not compete against females. Do you agree with that?
Pandora's box keeps staying open and the cats keep staying out of the bag because TPTB along with the dense fools and selfish tools that drank the damn Kool Aid won't press the damn "Restore to Default" button and enforce responsible order. Instead, y'all keeping saying "stay mad", "shut up and deal with it TERF", "suck my
girldick b!tch", "die cis scum die", "why don't you do some research and stop being ignorant and transphobic", and "adapt!"
Adapt? I am not adapting to lunacy, buffonery, disorder, more forms of systematic racism, more sexism, and more inequality and injustice. I'll be damned. I'm not fucking adding stupid freaking pronouns to my damn bio or profiles either. Have you ever heard of a thing called "Reasonable Accommodations"?
Allowing transwomen to compete with women is
not a reasonable accommodation and this Liam Thomas story proves and confirms that once again.
As a reasonable accommodation, would it be okay if I told you that you have to sit at the table with the Proud Boys and allow them to call you the n-word for shits and giggles in order to make them feel "more welcomed" and for you to do nothing in order to not "sour the party", your personal feelings be damned?
How about allowing exhibitionists and nudists to shop at stores nude?
Allowing public sex in transportation centers to help combating kink shaming? (Already happening in places like NYC because "anything goes" there)
Allowing an adult that identifies as a transaged "5-year-old" person to date and compete against underaged minors?
Allowing a transracial person to identify as Black and benefit from things made for only Black people?
Or telling you to use a wheelchair so that other people confined to wheelchairs don't feel alone and out of place?
Or dumbing down the entire class to cater to 2 slow people in the class?
Or teaching a whole college course to a class of 1st graders to cater to a genius in the class?
Or taking away more funding from already impoverished Black students to cater to Latino immigrant students that need to learn English and whatnot in order to surpass you in opportunities, jobs, multilingual abilities, and leverage in society?
Lift all boats right?
Just adapt, learn to accept everyone at the expense of yourself, and learn some Spanish.
Even though you learned full English in grade school for free while I only got some half-assed Spanish courses in that same grade school for only 3 years.
Even though Latinos generally alienate themselves from and discriminate against Black people, including Black Spanish speakers, in places such as the job market in various ways.
There is probably a better way which doesn't involve women being subject to accusations of being male.
Pause. Full Stop.
This is braindead foolery.
You are clearly invested and have bought into this new age nonsense.
Put the styrofoam cup of Kool-Aid down and come back into reality.
It's
not an accusation, it's a fact.
Transwomen are male and transmen are female.
It's the inconvenient truth.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Transpeople and their existence shouldn't supersede non-Black women and their existence, and Black people and our existence.
Transwomen are transwomen.
Women are women.
Grapefruit is Grapefruit.
Grape is Grape.
If the current method was good enough by itself, this conversation would not exist anywhere. Humans are still evolving and the current method is showing cracks as evident by this very conversation. We're only at the beginning of this debate. Maybe adding gender divisions is the best that we can do at the moment. That's fine.
I just see the beginnings of a pattern. There is a spectrum that is genderless. Just like there is a spectrum of sexuality. We know now that people are born in between the sexes. We know now that people fall somewhere in between the absolute binary of sexuality. I think it better suits us to create models modeled after reality. Humanity is not going to get less complicated.
Yes, it is the best that we can do.
Transwomen are a type of male.
Transmen are a type of female.
Non-binary persons are born male or female.
They can either compete amongst the sexes they were born as without any hormones, or make their own groups and competitions with or without all the hormones they want.
Also, just because humanity is complicated doesn't mean that we have to make shit
even more unnecessarily complicated. Spirituality, Philosophy, and Science are all separate from each other. They all have their purposes. Not everything needs to be met with a philosophical approach.
"
Who is Black? Who is White? Are colors even real? Maybe what we see isn't actually as real as we like to think? Are we all taller in a different dimension? Maybe short people are actually tall and it's all subjective, you know. Think Bigger!"
You know what’s truly sad in all of this? We have a Black man on here advocating for White men to be able to trample on the rights of others because he shares a commonality in them being LGBT.
I noticed and suspected that with his responses in the other threads such as the one about the new
Profiled: The Black Man series by Tina Knowles as well. I'm wondering if he ever dated or slept with a white or non-Black guy and afterwards, he got "confused" as Nelly Fuller put it. But in his mind, he's not "confused", but more "open-minded" to the world at the expense of compromising his B1 stance (if he ever had one to begin with).
Then you still got racist white LGBT talking about they share a commonality with us because they are "being oppressed" like Black people too, are "one of the girls", or they are a "Black woman in a man's body" to justify any guttersnipe, ghetto, wretched, uncouth, slutty, disrespectful, drama-loving, and repulsive behavior that they have. Basically thinking they are "Black women" because they adhere to the tired ass, toxic "Black women are loud, angry, ghetto hoes" stereotypes while being extra as fuck on top of it. I think the fuck not. Put some fucking respect on Black women's name.
