The rest of your post is the same old senseless, tired old gibberish... so I'll only address this part.
Why indeed.
Let's pause for a second Beanz, and I'll give you a moment to reflect on that question..... as I ask
anyone reading this to reflect on that same question.
(reflective pause)
So basically what you're saying is..... that it's a majority thing. That if there are some brave women out there who don't mind fighting transgender women..... that it should be ok then..... and all others (women boxers I'm talking about).... the ones who don't want to face transgenders in the ring..... should just shut their mouths because there are a few women out there who don't mind.
Is THAT what you're saying?
I want to make sure I understand correctly,
because this is where your stance, argument, credibility, and the whole ball of wax comes tumbling down like so many pins in a bowling alley.
Again, I didn't post the quotes of the "pro-transgender" women boxers.... so (according to you) it's automatically ok to have transgenders fight women boxers, no questions asked.
If just ONE of those who DON'T want to fight transgenders is at some point a champion in her division.... and her mandatory is a transgender..... if she refuses, she gets stripped. If she says
why she refuses she'll be ridiculed and ostracized, because society and those erudite people such as yourself have ruled that transgenders have every right to fight women in the ring.
Ironically, it's the same damn bullying you accuse others of. The only bullying here is your own, and you reflect it onto others with your remarkable skill.
Notice, there are no insults in this post.... no name calling. I don't want to dilute the question/statement you've posted
because I want everyone to see exactly what the crux of this argument is.
The bottom line here is:
I and a few others do not agree with this because we care and fear for the safety of women boxers. Transgenderism in itself
isn't being attacked here, just the notion that if "X" fighter wants to change from a man into a woman and fight women, it's potentially dangerous and shouldn't be approved carte blanche. The definitions of "transitioning" aren't even clear, and the rules are loose and flimsy at best.
You and a few others take this as an affront to the rights of others, and you fall back to your predictable
"Oh you're trying to tell others what to do" stance. You care more about the conflict than about seriously talking about the safety of women boxers. You fail to see the forest for the trees.
I'm not going to claim some funny thread victory, like Miles is wont to do....... but in this very serious subject, and judging by your question above...... you haven't got a damn leg to stand on.
In fact, if Alpha was still here, I'd buy HIM a beer (like you'd do with Swanson), and tell him it's ok. That claiming the world is flat is relatively harmless..... next to the ridiculous claims YOU'RE making on this topic.
