Making friends in the Youtube comments; a two part story.

Guy: "Everyone knows this, testosterone is a hell of a performance enhancing substance, we ban it as such accordingly. And the advantage doesn’t just disappear, you can get years ahead of schedule in performance, and not in a way that just disappears once you’re no longer taking it."

[anarchoninawrites@jorts.horse]

Me: Everyone does not know it. In fact there's a ton of hard data saying the opposite; that trans competitors actually tend to have LOWER levels of testosterone than cis-women competitors and do not have an athletic advantage over them. Which stands to reason because the biology of M2F transition is about suppressing testosterone levels down to nothing and then adding estrogen instead." (ct)

Me: "Cis-women aren't taking pills to suppress the natural amount of testosterone in their bodies. You do know women have testosterone in their bodies right? Or are you just a guy who feels a way?" (ct)

Me: " After that, all you have is the height and size of skeletal frame and if that was enough to ban people, than Brittney Griner, a 6'8" muscular woman who would knock your dick in the dirt Geek, should be banned from the WNBA because she's clearly dangerous and unfair to all the not 6'8" sized women on the court. Do you see how absurd your position is yet? Cause everyone else does.

Those are the facts, Geekswithfeet. Where is your data? Sounds like all you have is feels to me."

I don't think I can exist in this society much longer. These people are so fucking stupid you can't get to a point where we can establish an agreed on set of facts.

That more than anything, is why I'd be okay with just running them into the sea. Because you can't teach someone not to be a piece of shit when their entire belief structure is about how they feel a way.

@AnarchoNinaWrites This is the basis of my "anti incarceration, pro GULAG" position.

[anarchoninawrites@jorts.horse]

@rubinjoni I gotta be honest - I never understood the gulag thing, even as someone who studied fascism, until I started encountering open fascists in my life. In my twenties, I just couldn't rationalize how ppl who'd wanted worker self governance and to share everything, ended up building gulags.

Now? I get it.
