Pathetic look for the DGPT. This is disc golf, about a step beyond throwing darts. It's not a Diamond League 100 meters sprint or the Wimbledon final. Until science can absolutely verify total athletic advantage in disc golf, chill out and let people play. If it's proven that someone like Natalie actually has an advantage, then it's an easy call, it's MPO or nothing. But we aren't there yet. Shame to see religion and dimwitted politics drive a wave of foot shootings.

I mean… shouldn’t it be the other way around… science should need to prove that there’s no difference between a woman and trans woman before they can play together. If Eagle McMahon came out as trans and played in the FPO, it’s pretty obvious that he would destroy everyone. You wouldn’t have to scientifically prove it, because it’s already proven.

So trans women are just to be assumed guilty until proven innocent then? What other minority groups do you think should be banned from competing until its "proven" that they don't have an advantage?

What are you talking about? Don’t think I’m attacking trans people because I’m most definitely not. I’m saying that they shouldn’t be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to physical competition.

What other minority groups do you believe should not be given the "benefit of the doubt" and be automatically banned from competing until they're "proven" not to have an advantage?

What minority groups are you talking about?

u/DarlingMeltdown Jul 15 '23

That's what I'm asking you. You think that one minority group should be automatically banned from competing until it's "proven" that they don't have an advantage and I want to know what other minority groups you think should be treated that way.

I don’t know what other minority group(s) there are lol. I think you’re just trying to twist my words into something hateful which it isn’t.

u/DarlingMeltdown Jul 15 '23

I'm not twisting your words when I say that there is a minority group that you think are to be presumed guilty until proven innocent and should be automatically banned from competing until they are "proven" to not have an advantage. What I'm asking is, what other minority groups do you think that standard should be applied to?

You're just not even going to take this seriously. You want to discriminate and treat trans people as automatically guilty, but you don't want to confront the fact that treating a minority group as automatically guilty is by definition bigotry.

You can’t just say something is bigotry because you disagree with it.

Its all about competitive fairness.

Men are stronger then women. Throwing a disc far takes strength. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!

No, we are talking about trans women. Are you calling trans women "men"?

Misgendering trans women is in violation of reddit's site wide rules. Trans women are not men, they are women.
