There are a few subreddits I check out from time to time because Lemmy doesn’t have the volume of users required to keep those niche conversations active.

Wow, what a pain! There’s so much hostility and byzantine rules. It’s just not worth it.

                I think you make a fair point. And regarding sports it really isn’t fair if people have an unfair advantage. It also takes away the fun others have.

                I think it’s a hard decision to make because you don’t want to be labeled as transphobic, but you also don’t want biological and trans women competing in physical competitions. Now if it was about chess that would’ve been something else.

                The big question is what is fair. And I think fair is when we all have an equal chance and it’s no one has an unfair advantage over the other. And this might also disqualify biological men and women if that so happens to apply to them. Because it needs to be fair.

                I’m a trans woman myself btw and I would feel terrible if I were to compete with biological women in something physical. I just can’t imagine how that would be fair. Even if my muscle mass is mostly gone now, we are built different. Not better or worse, just different.

                P.S. does baard mean beard in your language too?

                  Baard is Bård (my name) anglicized. The norwegian word for beard is skjegg. But I’m aware baard is the dutch word for beard.

              Hey, someone who says what I’m thinking.

              And I agree, you find these people everywhere. Not just on Reddit. And they’re even on Lemmy.
