Let’s not get into a semantics argument you know what I mean by “need”. We don’t need sports especially not women’s “sports”.
Not what I meant. We’re on the same page. I just think that to the extent it’s required, there should be a separate division. In most shit (like the Texas wrestling case) they ought to be able to compete with boys if they want to.
I never said I anything about what I think someone believes or think I can read people as a super power. I said the facts about how humans behavior from an evolutionary perspective which bleeds towards fitting in. Unconsciously it will lead some to thus agree with the majority given social circumstances. I don’t know who will or when it happens but I do know I am not winning any favors by stating my opinion, you may truly believe your opinion as well as I do but don’t be fooled that there aren’t people here that don’t consider there own position on things and go with the flow. I currently happen to not be going with the collective flow. In situations where I am I am sure I have virtue signaled before. I want people to like me, don’t you? If the answer is yes then you have probably went along with things you didn’t believe in before because it helped achieve that goal. When it happens and you or I may not be aware of that it is the basis of what we are posting for example. I have definitely virtue signaled and it is a real thing.
I’m not trying to be an ass here, but where did you get that virtue signaling requires being in the majority? Do you have any cite for that? I think we’ve been talking about different things.
How do you determine when someone is virtue signaling, like explicitly on this board, and be able to diagnose it as such an epidemic you whine about it
I’ll leave you with an example... men have different bone structures than women. They also have less body fat and more muscle. You can take a trans women that has been on therapy for a long time and let them live their life and die. When they are dug up by an archeologist in the future they will know it was a man.
Poster: I believe X og: No you don’t. You’re only saying that so people will like you. You’re virtue signaling. Poster: the fuck?
Let’s also not forget that only men are born with the clutch jean. Another unfair advantage for man->female trans athletes.
Fair enough. As I've said before, I agree with you guys politically. We have plenty of the same beliefs. My only issue is the way some of the board treats others because of differing beliefs. I'll try to cool it with the tone policing as it clearly just starts a whole other unnecessary argument.
would you say your lacking of caring on this matter is your paramount value? because that's compromisable.
It may be easier to suss out than I’m thinking, but if there’s a lot of fraud going on I guess it could diminish the division, so I could see somewhat stringent rules put in place. If there’s a demand though, why not?
I literally have never voted once in my life. I supported him against Hilary Clinton yes because she is unfit as well to be president and my views align more with trump on some issues. It doesn’t matter though because I never have spouted off about this stuff once other than the night he was elected. I don’t think he is doing a good job and I know he is giving us a bad preception I am not stupid. But when it comes down to it given candidates I consider both bad I will support a republican. And yes I know that people like Lyrtch pushed people to want to vote for trump because I know people like that which was all they needed to pull the trigger. Wrong or right a lot of the people that let us live comfortably in the Midwest and more rural states are tired of being shit on by the coasts. The internet has made this mocking much more apparent and people much more resentful.
Also what about these human/pig humanoids that Alex jones recently alerted me of on the rogan podcast, would the IOC let them compete? Would dominate wrestling, maybe weightlifting if they had proper coaching. Overhead mobility on some of the lifts might be an issue.
I am denying people’s humanity because I do not believe genetically identifiable men should not compete with women in an arena of performance that is visibly slanted? Okay
I might have been doing it there yeah. Because I want to disagree on this topic but I don’t want everyone to think I am a mouth breathing moron.
you realize how embarrassing it is to say you set aside all your political beliefs because someone on the internet was mean right
I don’t know, you’re probably right but then I think about guys that have gone all-in on training with a mission of going to the olympics only to fall short... you’re going to have a few bad apples but who knows for sure. I say do it and see.
If they cut their dicks off I say that shows a level of commitment not many have and they should be allowed to compete.
I didn’t say that is why I supported him if you would stop putting words in my mouth to just be a pompous ass. I said I know people who did this. Is it embarrassing? Maybe but most don’t really care because they don’t like being condescended which something obviously people like you are quite good at.
If people really want to have a better understanding of how hormones affect sex development and society affects gender identity they should read about androgen insensitivity syndrome. It’s fascinating and enlightening
sounds like a bunch of snowflakes need to toughen up but again, I can cite the best predictive measures of trump support if you want, really dig into this reactionary vibe you got going on
Are your feelings so hurt by internet trolls that you have just resorted to their logic in every thread I have posted in? Sorry you have zero empathy for people feeling disrespected by the silver spoon types.
I don't feel like this thread should go much further without bringing up the BME Pain Olympics, mostly because it crossed my mind, and I want all of you to have to think about it too.
Do you want to talk about what specific things people are mad about "the coasts" pushing on them? Being condescending about?
I didn’t say whose and I also said I have done it. What more do you want from me? I didn’t label any poster opinions as virtue signalling I said that it is obvious that it has become rampant on this board to the left. This site has a gazillion page trumpocalpse thread you are telling me that constant snickering in that thread isn’t a positive feedback loop? America is still a good place to live from what I can tell and there isn’t a reason to gang up on people over political views. I try to avoid doing it when I agree with the same group of liberal posters when certain unnamed righty posters are being weird. Being polarizing to an extent where you need to do it not to be devoured by the mob leads to apparently what I define as virtue signalling. If you guys think that is a made up bullshit term then that is your opinion but my opinion is it is real.
when people call the trump thread a "feedback loop" or "echo chamber" it makes me realize they really don't go in there, because realizing trump is trash is basically the only unifying thing and any time anything else gets brought up the knives come out
Do you not see the problem here? You won’t point to single post that you believe to be virtue signaling but you just know it to be a rampant problem with the board. How?
Don’t play dumb it’s just another form of condescension. Hillary Clinton literally labeled almost half of America despicables. Shocker people didn’t like that. And again it all goes back to the PC police perception. It may not be real and an illusion to people with differing points of view than yours but it’s a real phenomenon that a lot of people are seeing as infringements on their freedom. Again do I think that to some extent... maybe little I guess if I am being honest but not really? However a lot of people really feel like they are being deprived of certain freedoms because of the type of perceived propaganda. Personal opinion is that most people that feel this way are exaggerating the way they feel because they see it as the first step to liberties that they care about being taken away or threatened at the very least.
You don't have to be a douche. I was giving an honest opinion. If you think it is so obvious, I'd love for you to point me to the definitive proof that transgender women have an unfair athletic advantage over cisgender women due to their birth sex. This is a difficult topic, and my post literally said I'd be open to changing my mind based on other information.
As I don’t know what I am talking about in some things you most certainly aren’t well versed in the concept of a positive feedback loop. No one said anything about it not being unifying.
She didn’t she said half of trump’s supporters were that. Half the country didn’t vote. So at best that’s 1/4 of the country and it’s crazy to think that it’s not true.
