International chess federation FIDE: a trans woman "has no right to participate in official FIDE events for women"
  • Zander Zander Now 100%

    This argument is irrelevant in the end because trans women are women. Even if it were true that some trans women have a net advantage due to having gone through a male puberty, It's okay to have biological advantages in sports. That's kind of the point of sports, no? As long as they're taking hrt to get rid of the bulk of the advantages a male body brings I don't see what the issue is.

    The second you exclude trans women, it is no longer a women's division.

    Just blocking the community doesn't prevent the users in that community from harassing minorities and generally spreading disinformation and hate. It's offloading extra moderation work to every instance who federates with them. Unless that instance is also okay with fascists interacting in bad faith, of course.

    Impeaching Biden over nothing while at the same time censuring Schiff for impeaching Trump. Wow

    Conservatives here have a different definition of "freedom". They want to be free from being bound by the laws yet still be protected by them, whereas minorities should be bound by the laws, but not protected by them. This is how conservatives in this country are both the party of "law and order" at the same time as being the party of "personal freedom".

    One resource that helped me get started is Shifter, a youtube channel that focuses on bike commuting advice and gear recommendations. A link to some Park Tool basic repair help playlists might be good as well.
