In a culture that cultural appropriation is a thing. And a women’s choice of earrings is open to being racist. (Not sure where “my body my choice” is in this, and “body shaming?” What a clown world)




Are hoop earrings cultural appropriation?

metro.co.uk...

Native American war bonnets, bindis, nose rings, kimonos and henna are all examples of things that white people have been asked not to play with. And now Australian Latinx writer Ruby Pivet suggests in Vice that hoop earrings should join that list.



How is biological males taking the place of biological women in various things such as places of honor on international women’s day and women’s sports not cultural appropriation?

Especially for women’s sports.




For example, in 2017 alone, well over 5,000 males, including some under 18 years old, ran 400-meter times that were faster than the personal bests of U.S. Olympic gold medalists Sanya Richards-Ross and Allyson Felix.

adflegal.org...



If you are for fair competition in women’s sports, how is allowing biological males fair. How is it different than cheating with hormone therapy?

How is forcing women and shaming them for not wanting to share locker rooms and women’s sports at the expense of their sense of well-being and safety (for them and their families) not the ultimate act of misogynistic behavior?

Let’s take this to the next logical step. A family of smaller physical size has a son that wants to be a NBA center at some point. Is it now ok to give the son operations and hormone therapy to give him a better chance?

Maybe it’s time to do away with women’s and men’s sports. Just break everything into weight classes like boxing and wrestling?

As in the white stereotype?

Yep the liberals adore a flamboyant transgender. They think transgenders are "real women". Liberals have made more transgender women "women of the year" then they have biological women this past year or so .

Transgenders perpetuate the stereotypes that "real woman":
biological women dress like pole dancers, strippers and prostitutes
biological women should fix their hair like they did in the 1980's, puffy and perfectly coiffed
biological women should always wear 5 inch heels unless they are playing sports
biological women must strut around and reek of sexuality at all times
"real women" who are out to win must tuck their scrotum and tape it down when playing sports

Worst of all, liberals in the US have bought into the fact that these ugly gross stereotypes are actually how women ought to look and behave by embracing the transgender mocking stereotypes of biological women.

If we did this gross and demeaning stereotyping of anyone else other than biological women, we'd be thrown in jail for racism and cultural appropriation.

But liberals love it and insist it is not only ok but something we should encourage in pre-pubertal children. This is a parody of biological females, who now have fewer rights than biological males with a penis who say they are women and liberals embrace women with a penis having more rights to safety from rape and more rights to bodily privacy than do biological women. Mostly we see this parody a cultural appropriation of "white biological women strippers and prostitutes" and it is normalized as normal womanly behavior by the liberal left and we are told to embrace and accept it OR ELSE by Democrats. Disgusting.

I see a lot of openions on this subject. Almost all from people not of the culture said to be the ones being appropriated.

Could we actually get an opinion from some of the ones being appropriated for once? I mean most Latinos and Latinas think latinx is an insult.

No no no no no!

You clearly don't understand how this works. While operations and hormone therapy would not be off the table, the first step would be to make sure that those professional players aren't any better than anybody else.

Harrison Bergeron audio book (15 minutes, a suggested listen).


Or read the text.

Or this short, only 28 minutes

Transgenderism has been weaponized against women to cause more division. Politicians refuse to define what a woman is because if they did, it would take the wind out of the sails of all this lunacy.

Enhancements
which include not approved
-Drugs
-Surgical
-Equipment

BAN

Even the
Romans went as far as banning male athletes
having ANY bodily mutilations,
since athleticism is about the NATURAL human form.
or it defeats the whole meaning.

None of this is supposed to make sense, it's pure psychological warfare. If you accept that men can be women and children can go to sex shows and take puberty blockers, then there is no level of tyranny you won't accept.

It's called psuedo-journalists being desperate for clicks so thus they are generating nonsense headlines like "are hoop earings cultural appropriation?"

No no no no no!





So? A person under 18 can take hormone therapy to play women’s sports? But it’s wrong for a person of smaller build who wants to identify with top performing athletes to take hormone therapy?

Why is one supposedly acceptable, but the other isn’t.

I’m against either by the way.

Your mistake is in assuming there is some reason in all this.

There is none. There is no reason. There is no logic.

Did you read the story, or listen to the audio book, or watch the short video?

"Transgenderism" (more accurately cross-dressing and gender dysphoria) is in itself simply a weapon against normality, healthy human relationships and existance. It is a product of nihilism. And nihilism brooks any objectivity, any definitions. It is an existential threat.

You cannot reason with this. You cannot shoehorn it into healthy humanity. It is destructive and dangerous. You cannot take the wind out of its sails; if the ship is not sunk, you've done no good.

Well Coke was grilled for their "Be Less White" seminar, but every time white folks take an interest in something from another culture, we also get grilled for cultural appropriation. We can't not be other cultures and not be ourselves at the same time.

I guess we could be if they just slaughter us wholesale.

Neither should be.

Any kind of hormone is pretty much a performance enhancing substance, but trans athletes can magically get away with it.
