Woman injured as feminists and transgender groups fight at Speakers’ Corner

Something weird is going on. I do not recall reading or hearing a collective of words sequenced in this way 10 years ago. I seem to be caught in some bizarre rapid social pseudo-evolution. I feel quite inadequate!
UK, 2017.
 
I think that transgendered men being able to compete against women in sport is absolute ********. If I was a professional sportswomen i'd be absolutely ****** off. They're generally the types of people who are super competitive too, i'm surprised I haven't heard any of them kick off about it, surely it's already happened.

transwomen not born with a womb, therefore they are male rights activists is a **** argument.

Yep, but technically... they are biologically men... and they're activists for peoples rights, so you could take that wording as meaning they are men who are rights activists... Long shot I guess.

Do you mean transgendered men or transgendered women? Switching hormones mean you either gain or lose a lot of muscle strength very quickly.
 
There is a reason why the most oppressive states with the highest body counts are from the left.
Wow, is the banging really loud in your echo chamber?
I always assumed evil people in power are capable of using any ideology to justify what they do, that said, there are and have been many rightwing totalitarian states so I'm unaware of strong evidence to support the claim!
 
<SNIP>
the Alt-Left/identity politics loonies have taken the 'punch a nazi' thing even further
<SNIP>
Yes, quite, I can entirely see now that this is all to do with the Alt-Left and Nazis. Thanks for pointing out what might so easily have been missed.

However, I do feel that you should also point the finger of blame at Remoaners. illegal aliens and the Catholic Church, I am certain that they are also involved in some way.
 
It was the same kind of thing back in the 80's/90's with animal rights activists and Green Peace hippies. They all start off with decent intentions but often it decends into a fist fight or threats and the occasional attack.
 
There is some overlap in all metrics afaik!

yes but we're talking about athletes and the tail end of the distribution not the population as a whole... once you're going to the extremes there is often quite a gulf in plenty of areas between men and women

Sorry I missed the switch to athletes specifically. My understanding is even in adult populations there is an overlap, for those swapping gender (in either direction) Ill wager the overlap is greater than typical/average population but the topic isn't simple or clear cut, to my knowledge!

there wasn't a switch, the issue raised/mentioned was athletes from the start - see post #43

point is that while world class professional female athlete can no doubt beat 99.9% of men in her field she might also be dominated by say a good amateur male who competes at the local club level

It's great to see you are at leat open to widening this discussion to transgender athletes (a pretty small demographic) if not people taking a punch (a pretty large demographic)!

Still no agender (see what I did there) :)

someone highlighted an area where he'd (legitimately IMO) not treat trans women in the same way as women, you then didn't follow the conversation and a few unnecessary posts were required...

what agenda exactly?
