      I thought I made it clear I had no problem with that. I just don’t think she should sink to their level, but instead stick to the actual choices her targets make.

        Not sinking to their level got us here in the first place. Calling people out on their bullshit is not only necessary, but crucial in forming a civilized society.

        Always call out assholes and liars.

          Again, calling them out isn’t the problem. I’ve already explained this multiple times.

          Oh, fuck it. Go be just as shitty as they are. Screw trying to make a better world for all, let’s just fight each other to the death, & whoever wins gets to have their way with whatever’s left after all the destruction.

          Y’all seriously need to grow TF up.

            If you play in competitive sports publicly, you are openly allowing people to criticize your performance in said sport.

            That is quite literally how competitive sports work.

              Which has nothing to do with the shitty attitude towards trans people. Conflating the two like they did makes you no better than them.

                It directly has something to do with it though. She has claimed, again and again and again, that she would have been the best in her sport if not for trans women, when she came fifth behind four other cis women. Her activism actually got the NCAA to strip all titles from all trans women that have competed in the women’s division, including Lia Thomas’ fifth place finish against her. Let me repeat that, she is such a sore loser that she got the woman who tied with her for fifth place’s title stripped.

                Also, did you even read the article and watch the linked video? A senator literally says she would have been the best without Lia Thomas competing, and she goes along with that. https://youtu.be/WZDYue_p2lo

              Irrelevant. I never said their shitty attitude should be tolerated, just that the wrong thing was being attacked.
