@TotalSeasons It's even funnier when you imagine this haircut with his original hairline

The only trans athlete photo Ben Fordham Live could find was a trans athlete who came dead last at the Olympic Games.
Trans women athletes have not won a single one of the 7,500 Olympic medals that were awarded since 2003, when trans women were first eligible to compete at the Olympic Games. Not even a solitary relay or team bronze medal has been won by a trans woman athlete.
If Kirsty and the International Olympic Committee genuinely prioritised protecting women's sports, they would allocate 50% of Olympic funding to women's sports and dedicate more resources to investigating doping & sex offenders, which is a widespread issue in female sports.

This is a huge win for women's sport. The International Olympic Committee has banned trans-athletes from female events. The rule comes into effect for the 2028 Olympic games. Listen to the details HERE. 🎧omny.fm/shows/ben-ford…🎧

At the first women-inclusive Olympics in Paris in 1900, 22 women competed. Since then, about 62,000 women total have competed in the Summer and Winter Olympics.
Only one of them was a trans woman. Just one. She didn't medal. She didn't even rank.
One trans woman out of 62,000 women athletes over 126 years of the modern Olympics, and no medals.
This ban on trans women isn't about fairness. It never was. It's about politics and pandering. It's about the IOC needing to get in good with the Trump admin.
It's about a needless "solution" to a problem that didn't exist in the first place, and history will not be kind to this embarrassing abdication of morality and ethics.

i don’t recall a single trans athlete participating in recent games, but i do recall steven van de velde being allowed to compete in the 2024 paris games a few years back AFTER being convicted of raping a 12 year old girl in 2016

The leading Israeli scholars of the Holocaust and of genocide - Omer Bartov, Daniel Blatman, Amos Goldberg - all agree that Gaza is a genocide.
So do Israel’s top human rights groups Btselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel.
Give it up with the antisemitism smear.
American Jewish Committee@AJCGlobal
Mayor Mamdani’s repeated use of the “genocide” accusation against Israel is not just wrong - it’s dangerous. It distorts reality and fuels antisemitism at a moment when Jews are already under threat. Leaders who claim to stand for human rights should not use rhetoric that puts Jewish communities at risk. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

Don’t let it ever escape you that it is by a mere twist of fate that you are not the person being subjected to colonization and genocide and the entire world being at best indifferent to your existence if not actively hostile to it as you sit on your perch judging the words and feelings and souls of someone who has lived through and is still living through things you cannot and will not ever comprehend.

“If a white man wants to lynch me, that's his problem. If he's got the power to lynch me, that's my problem. Racism is not a question of attitude; it's a question of power. Racism gets its power from capitalism. Thus, if you're anti-racist, whether you know it or not, you must be anti-capitalist. The power for racism, the power for sexism, comes from capitalism, not an attitude.” -Kwame Ture
