A record number of athletes openly identifying as LGBTQ+ are competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Activist groups see it as a massive leap for inclusion during a competition that organizers have pushed to center around inclusion and diversity.
A record number of athletes openly identifying as LGBTQ+ are competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics, a massive leap during a competition that organizers have pushed to center around inclusion and diversity.
There are 191 athletes publicly saying they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and nonbinary who are participating in the Games, according to Outsports, an organization that compiles a database of openly queer Olympians. The vast majority of the athletes are women.
That number has quashed the previous record of 186 out athletes counted at the COVID-19-delayed Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, and the count is only expected to grow at future Olympics.
“More and more people are coming out,” said Jim Buzinski, co-founder of Outsports. “They realize it’s important to be visible because there’s no other way to get representation.”
You're viewing part of a thread.
Your own quote tells me that people with chromosomal abnormalities tend to be sterile, so no. XX makes you a woman. XY makes you a man. Abnormalities are just that, abnormal. Trans people have problems and cutting them up is not the solution.
That is not how science works. There is not "exception to the rule" in science. That's not how it works. If you can't come up with a scientific definition that biologists agree with you on, just admit it. None of you seem to be able to. You think you know the science, but you can't back it up.
that's rich coming from the side that consistently fails to define what a woman is. I gave you a definition that can be used on 99% of the global population.
I can define a woman very easily. You just won't like it. A woman is a human who expresses the modern gender traits we associate with women.
Of course, 'woman' and 'female' are two very different things.
And you still don't understand how science works.
Also, my "side" is the one where you treat people the way you want to be treated.
Speaks about science and then says that a woman is whatever I want them to be. How the fuck is that supposed to be scientific.
I don't want to be mutilated, so that doesn't hold any water either.
I literally did not say that. At all. You clearly didn't read what I wrote.
Gender is not scientific, it is cultural. You just don't know the difference between gender and biological sex.
Also-
I don’t want to be mutilated, so that doesn’t hold any water either.
That is not what "treat others the way you want to be treated" means, and I think you know that. Also, most trans people do not have gender-affirming surgery (which is not mutilation and that's why surgeons are willing to do it). Also also, I hope you're not circumcised or have any body piercings or tattoos.
I doubt we'll get any common ground here lnd I'm starting to realize that this is a waste of time
True, we will not find common ground since you think that gender and sex are the same thing, that doctors mutilate a small number of the trans population, and you oddly won't tell me how you've been "mutilated," which makes me think you are, at the very least, circumcised.
I've not been circumcised. I'm not even american. I literally never claimed that I've been mutilated, you just made that up out of nowhere. Docs mutilate trans folk by cutting off their dick and sack, drilling a hole between their legs and dismantling their penis trying to imitate a clitoris. Their victims then need to weekly insert a stretching device into the wound to prevent their semi-vagina from closing over time.
I don't care if gender and sex are the same thing or not either, that has nothing to do with this debate.
