Ask a stupid question, get ratioed

Peter Tatchell again nudges us to applaud his hostility to women:

Preventing trans women from competing in sport is denying their human rights. Most athletes have some form of advantage, such as fast-twitch muscle fibres, large hearts & lungs or extra long legs. Why single out trans competitors? https://cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/preventing-trans-women-competing-denying-human-rights-transgender-athlete-rachel-mckinnon-returns-defend-track-world-title-440713#YcXIv2c8K4qvKXlm.99

As a professor of human rights, I say you are talking bollocks.

    If Tatchell can’t understand the difference between a child and an adult, should we be surprised he can’t understand the difference between a man and a woman?

    The ratio is now 487 to 31.

    What is this “ratio”?

    If there are far more replies than likes, that’s being ratioed. It means everybody is telling you you’re full of shit.

    Tatchell has been trolling against real women ever since real women caught on to his pro-pedophile agenda and started calling him out on it.

    Now it’s at over 1100 to 74. These numbers are heartening. People are beginning to wake up!

    Is McKinnon’s dishonesty infectious, or can people genuinely not see the difference between:

    [Preventing trans women from competing in sport] and [preventing trans women from competing in the female division (of a sex-segregated sport)]?

    It looks like about 94% of people can tell the difference.

    But this is not about fairness. It’s about compulsion and fetishism. The autogynephilic fetish demands completion. Completion is unattainable – dudes like Rhys will never actually 100% be women – so the demands of the fetish to pursue completion never end. Preventing transwomen from competing with women is denying that they are women. That’s the most important thing. Rhys isn’t even competing because he loves to compete; if he really loved to compete, he’d do so on a level playing field. Rhys is competing because it’s a way for his fetish to act out its demands to be not just treated as a woman, but considered to be an actual woman. Detractors must be pursued to the end of the earth and exterminated. Only if nobody anywhere tells the truth will his fetish be happy.

    That could be it. Or part of it. But it’s hard to deny that McKinnon also loves to win. Rhys McKinnon was not winning in a field of males. Rachel McKinnon is winning in a field of females. While the transition and desire to be a woman may very well have been genuine, and perhaps even the initial impulse to join women’s sport, from some recent tweets, I suspect the percentage of the time that he wins, and not just wins but breaks world records, has at least as much to do with the insistent “transwomen have a right to women’s sports” shoutiness.

    I think it may have been genuine initially because why take steps to reduce your testosterone and take drugs with medically unknown side effects just to wind gold medals? Oh, wait, this could be like the steroid-enhancing drugs, that have known negative side effects, and athletes still take them? Still, I do suspect that he was genuine in his desire to become a woman, but I suspect there is a lot of narcissism underlying the fight to race against women.

    And what about the men who are competing as women where there is no requirement for testosterone reduction? Very handy.
