Do you allow transphobic mods? (europe.pub)

Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn't going to result in any action, so I'm wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?

Replace 'trans' with any other group, does it sound bigoted to you now? It reads like 'we can't have black girls compete with white girls because of the clear advantage in physicality' you know, the common racist talking point of old?

OK let's replace trans with another group let's use men as an example. "We can't have men compete with women because of the clear advantage in physicality" is this sentence fine?

It's just so mind-boggling to me that you can respond to my statement with no critical thinking at all. Do you not even consider the possibility that you could be wrong? I can't even process that level of arrogance.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee -1 points 5 months ago

I absolutely contemplated the the situation that I could be wrong I then went and read a bunch of peer reviewed journals on the subject including ones sent to me by people here on Lemmy. Then based on reading those articles concluded that I was not wrong.

You my friend are the one too arrogant to contemplate if you are wrong.

What clear advantage? Men and women on average have different body structures, yes. That might favour one in one sport and one in another. The blanket statement "men have a clear advantage in every sport over women" is BS.

That would be a stupid thing to say. Except your the only one who said it cos I sure as shit didn't say every.

Nice strawman.
