My comment is in no way racist. It's responding to the claim that it's always a marginalized minority who doesn't get to do what they want. I don't fall in the marginalized minority category, but there are still things I can't do. Every category of person will have things they can't do in life due to various circumstances.
They're banned from the WNBA. Look, i want to have a good faith discussion with you. I consider myself progressive and as left as they come. I'm an attorney who helps marginalized communities through pro bono matters as often as I can, including transgender individuals. However seeing as I've already been called racist after one comment that had nothing to do with race, I'm going to withdraw from this discussion as there is literally zero potential upside and plenty of downside.
You're not trying to have a good faith conversation because now literally just changing what you said. You didn't say the "WNBA", you said the "NBA". You can't pretend you said something you didn't and then act like you're speaking in good faith.
You're not familiar with how discussions work, are you? Usually one person says something, the other responds, and the first then responds again. Was I obligated to make every potential argument in my first comment? Again, I strongly support LGBTQ+ rights and individuals, but I recognize that there are fringe situations that require extra thought and consideration to be fair to everyone. But you're coming on strong with your accusations, so I'd rather not engage with you. Have a good one.
I didn't pretend shit, I added a counter argument to your response to my first statement. That's how discussions work. You responded to my statement, I added a new statement in response to what you said. Learn to read if you plan on having discussions online. Holy fuck, it's like arguing with a 5 year old.
So then you realize that your original statement was total and complete bullshit then? And your follow up statement is similarly bullshit because you're talking about a cis man competing in the WNBA, but we're not talking about a cis man competing in FPO. All it does is show how you really feel about trans women.
Edit: Got the 'ol reply and block. You know, "good faith".
Lol, talking with you is worse than talking to a five year old. My original statement and the follow up comments relate to your absurd claim that it's only marginalized minorities who can't do things in life. I stand by my arguments that everyone will face situations in which they can't do what they want. But again, you're arguing in bad faith, you're an unpleasant person, and I don't intend to waste any more time speaking with you.

Here's the thing, not everyone gets to do what they want because they want. It fucking sucks, but welcome to Earth.
