Why have lopsided bigotry?
I posted a story a few days ago about a professional boxer who is trans male that has not been able to get a fight since his first professional win 2 years ago.
Are boxers avoiding fighting him just based on their garden variety bigotry? Or based on bigotry and ignorance in a different way? Are they are afraid of people saying ignorant shit like they were beaten by a girl?
I suspect both things are true. He has proven himself a worthy opponent, but can't get a fight.

Are the idiots in the GOP so ignorant that they think a trans boy would not be competitive in boys' sports?
Nothing these idiots do make any sense. I don't even know why I bother to try to make sense of their nonsense.

Lauren Boebart was properly roasted online a few days ago when she lamented about how wrong it is that, the top US Olympic female weight lifter will have to compete against New Zealand's weight lifter who happens to be trans.

Facts be damned of course.
The US weight lifter has lifted heavier weights than New Zealand's athlete. So the only thing that matters to this nincompoop is the other athlete is trans. Their stats - which gives an edge to USA's athlete means nothing.

That's the other part of this silly argument that has bothered me. Not only is it offensive to trans athletes. I find it offensive to the female athletes that work hard, train, are skilled at what they do. These idiots diminish their talents and hard work.

Its also troubling in that they think of youth sports as only winning and losing vs all the other benefits that children get from participating in team sports. Perhaps if more of the GOP played team sports in their youth, they would have developed a sense of responsibility, team work and positive self esteem.
