@sykesJbrayden I mean again, your position is/was that trans people shouldn't be able to participate in sports, which is inherently a discriminatory position, and Bluesky users tend to have *very* little tolerance for transphobia.

@captainwonkish This is such a relatively newer issue, and I think over time it will become much easier to see what the proper path is. I am not for discrimination of any kind. And I’m always open to new ideas and perspectives. Someone on Bluesky called me an idiot for saying that.

@sykesJbrayden While there's potentially some sports where it might make sense to not gender them, letting trans people participate doesn't mean you're doing that, especially with the regs in place, and especially pre-puberty.

@captainwonkish The part I struggle with is the actual sport side. I feel like men and women sports are too different for me to feel comfortable mixing the two in a competitive setting. I don’t think one “better” than the other, I just acknowledge them as being very different.

@sykesJbrayden Aside from how an issue polls doesn't determine bigotry or not (interracial marriage was only supported by most Americans in 1993), here's the thread I wrote for you to answer the question you asked me, before you deleted your entire account before I could post it:

@sykesJbrayden 3rd, ironically if you're concerned about trans women theoretically having an advantage in terms of sport, you should be a fan of kids being able to get gender affirming care, including puberty blockers, because that means trans women won't have gone through male puberty.

@sykesJbrayden 2nd, while it is possible to do gender affirming care if you've gone through the wrong puberty, puberty causes changes to the body that are much more difficult/sometimes impossible to fully change after. No amount of testosterone causes the breasts you grew to just fall off etc.

Congratulations, never heard of that one, not saying it is not an important agency, but @elonmusk and @VivekGRamaswamy and @DOGE thinking all these Trump appointments are a great segue into figuring out the necessity of all these obscure agencies and figuring out what all the people who work there are doing.

@benryanwriter 1. You're literally not even on that list. Definitely consistent with the quality of your "reporting" though. 2. That list doesn't say everyone on it is a literal Nazi. 3. If you don't like that Bluesky has moderation lists that you can be added to, maybe just don't use it..

It is defamatory and deranged for anyone to claim that I am a literal Nazi. I appreciate people who go to the other app to file complaints against blacklists like this, which in my own case is intended to prevent me from reporting inconvenient truths. Please go to this guy’s page and complain about his defamatory block list.

In his Fauci book, RFK reveals himself to be an AIDS conspiracist too. He repeatedly quotes "AIDS activist" Christine Maggiori, *never mentioning* that she was HIV+, believed HIV harmless, refused antiretroviral treatment & died of AIDS at 52. Oh and her 3 yr old died of AIDS too

Found new depths to my naïveté (what’s new) because I thought the celebrities just did the endorsing for free as like a present.

@BlondeMAGAinNJ @RadioFreeTom If that’s true, then it would be easy for you to provide medical evidence of that, right? The real virus is covered in spike proteins, and unlike the ones your immune briefly sees then destroys via vaccination, the ones from the the real virus are used by it to infect you.
