We’ll know something’s gone down if the PRIME sponsorship has been abruptly removed from Summerslam.

I’ve typed up like 7 versions of my thoughts on this, and I just don’t think there’s a way for me to post what I think without running afoul of the board’s rules against political posts. I’ll just say that the fact that Logan Paul and others of his ilk have taken the opportunity to spread blatant misinformation regarding a boxing match in France between an Algerian and an Italian to make some sort of hackneyed American political statement does not surprise me in the slightest. We are living in sad, scary times. It makes me really scared for women who don't fit the "ideal" of american values when it comes to attractiveness too. I think it was Mothman who mentioned this earlier but can you imagine how awful it must feel to literally just be going about your day, getting in some good ass reps at the gym doing some sets and have to deal with people like that who yell at you or worse, try to harm you? Sometimes I think it all goes back to them wanting all women to be some pin up idea of what's attractive to them and if they don't get it, it will be hell to pay. It's also what makes it so frustrating to see other women be like "yeah f*** trans people" because at least to me, it feels like they're fighting the wrong person. These guys are actively going at you if you do not have the body they specifically desire or think makes them feminine. Like they're going after you, they just can't outright say it even if some of them do. I wish people could just be kind to each other, joke about whatever shit, be goofy and focus on the fact we're all getting f***ed over one way or another. Life is already hard enough, we should try to be kind to each other. Katie Ledecky is already being transvestigated for being "too good" at sport, and over here on TERF Island, England Rugby Union player Heather Fisher has spoken of her fear of using public toilets because she's lost her hair through alopecia: www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/56311912.amp

It's like people automatically assumed this boxer was trans and in their raging foaming at the mouth fury can't even sit down for a second and be like "hey what the f*** am i doing?". That article is just heartbreaking.

Just to be perfectly clear as well, trans athletes deserve to play the sports they excel in just as much as cis athletes. There are too many people who put in no research and think that trans people have some kind of innate advantage, and every bit of actual scientific evidence or even just a basic knowledge of endocrinology will tell you that's not the case, which is why the Olympics have allowed trans athletes for decades, and to date only a few have made it to the Olympics and none have ever won a gold medal. That idiots and bigots like Logan Paul are so phenomenally bad at this that they're targeting a cis woman is just the icing on the cake, really.

There is a real scientific dialogue that is needed, I just think the internet is far too hostile of a place to ever really do that. People would get tribal and just default to their pre-existing beliefs This is not a matter of tribal nature and both sides. This is not a real pressing issue where we need to address a wide swath of trans women entering sports. It’s an angle pursued by those who want to further demonize trans people. A trans teenage girl was murdered about an hour away from my city last month and I’m real tired of any attempt to act like this is a topic of discussion in any way.

I looked up this boxer’s record. She is 9-5 (which is pretty good but hardly great) and got destroyed in the quarterfinals at the Olympics last time.
So what “advantage” is she meant to have?

She’s ALREADY COMPETED IN THE OLYMPICS IN 2020 to absolutely no fanfare, where, I might add, she did not even win a medal. This is entirely manufactured faux outrage by a bunch of American grifters.

He should be stripped of the title and just never spoken of again. No need to give him his payday on Saturday.

I love how this could be either a piss take on what Sasha Banks and Bayley were accused of doing or something that actually happened. And both are believable.

Disappointing, albeit unsurprising, news to wake up to today.
Also, side note since I don't follow anything or have Twitter, what did Pat McAfee say/do?

Knight needs to squash this dickhead and send him packing.

I feel like there's an ever shrinking divide between the anti-trans clan and flat earthers in that both only rely on what they think they see as evidence to their entire thesis.

I feel like the trans hate is hitting a fevered pitch. Just seeing how Penguinzer0 Charlie got attacked for defending trans but the creep Sneako who said a 12 year old could marry a 21+ because they went through puberty was insane to me.
These people aren't even looking for reasons to be angry anymore, they just hear something and run with it. They don't want facts, they just want blood. And dipshits like Logan, JK, and Pat are just fanning those flames.

He had a five minute show where he did the Pat McAfee thing of saying something and then going “maybe I’m wrong I don’t know all the facts.” He kept saying the female boxer was “genetically male” and it “wasn’t fair” but would then say “I need to read more about it” and “experts would know better than me.” So maybe just shut the f*** up and don’t talk about something until you know all the facts?
