Very bad man
Fairness? What’s that?
As far as I can tell the guy calls himself Anne Andres and stars in this story:
The Canadian Powerlifting Union’s trans inclusion policy says athletes can self-identify into the category of their choosing.
“At both recreational and competitive levels, an individual may participate in their expressed and identified gender category,” reads the policy.
Anne Andres, the transgender powerlifter who won the bronze medal during the event, said all but one fellow competitor was supportive of her participation, and that the presence of the ICFS group had little impact.
“I noticed there was a bunch of signs there, but any time I approached the platform, the rest of the powerlifting community held up bigger signs to block out everything,” said Andres. “Nobody was tolerating their malarkey.”
According to Blade, the ICFS action was meant to draw attention to policies that they say elevate transgender women inclusion over other considerations.
Or to put it more bluntly they let men cheat women.
His rant is the rant of a disgusting entitled bully of a man who is busily ruining power lifting for women. Notice his hope that all of us who object to his theft of women’s sport “die painfully.”
Unhinged is right; everything after his first sentence (in the text shown, I don’t need to listen to another angry man ranting) is entirely hateful projection.
Any bets on whether CSIS will get involved?
Et tu brute!
What’s ICFS?
He claims the arguments against trans inclusion are the same that were used against black inclusion. The difference? Black people are people; Black women are women. Male women are not women; they are men.
Black people, women and men, fit comfortably into the categories they were being excluded from. Men do not fit, comfortably or otherwise, in the female category. That’s why they are being excluded, not because people hate trans, but because men are not women.
Biology 101.
ICFS=International Consortium of Female Sport.
Another difference? They’re not the same fucking arguments at all. “Men aren’t women” is not the same as “Black people are inferior and need to know their place.”
Claiming they’re the same is an egregious erasure of history. It’s an argument so fucking racist it infuriates me every time I encounter it, and I encounter it a lot.
These people are idiots.
Well said, Lady M.
