And that's it.
The era of Pep Guardiola as Manchester City manager has come to an end.
Words cannot describe the gratitude we have for everything you have done, making our dreams come true, and changing our football club forever.
Pep, thank you. 🩵
@DivineAxis177 @waveycals They are clearly mentally ill and need help. Instead she is posting here for attention instead. It works because most people in her comments supports her, saying she is beautiful etc. instead of being honest and saying she needs serious help and be accountable
@BL_DAEWN@BigDinoSpumoni @leto_hariz @meloniklol Women CAN participate in open but men are biologically superior so it’s extremely hard to make it. This is why we have women’s categories. Everyone can’t be pleased so let’s think in raw numbers here. Do you want to please the very few trans athletes or the women?
@BL_DAEWN@BigDinoSpumoni @leto_hariz @meloniklol We can’t please everyone. I prioritize women because women have no alternative category. Trans athletes can still compete in open/men’s categories. Not protecting women’s sport just makes it meaningless, and that means less funding and interest.
@BigDinoSpumoni@BL_DAEWN @leto_hariz @meloniklol I think we’ll look back on this era the same way we look back on things like lobotomies. Accepted at the time, later seen as harmful.
But regardless, my point is:
Sports rules exist to protect fair competition, not to guarantee careers or resolve social debates.
@BL_DAEWN@BigDinoSpumoni @leto_hariz @meloniklol I already listed several sports that have open categories if you scroll up an read again. I also said that just because not every sport has an open category doesn’t mean we can’t have one
@BL_DAEWN@BigDinoSpumoni @leto_hariz @meloniklol Regulations aren’t there to guarantee careers. They’re meant to protect fair competition. You’re so obsessed with accommodating trans athletes while also downplaying the impact on women who depend on protected categories to compete at a high level. They have no other choice.
@BL_DAEWN@BigDinoSpumoni @leto_hariz @meloniklol It’s not about domination though? Ask yourself why we have women’s categories? Because sex differences matter, period. Letting trans compete in open/men’s categories isn’t a punishment, it’s just keeping women’s categories doing what they were designed to do.
@BL_DAEWN@BigDinoSpumoni @leto_hariz @meloniklol Not banning anyone. The simplest solution right now is women’s categories for biological women, and trans athletes competing in men’s/open categories. That avoids new leagues and still keeps women’s sport fair.
@BL_DAEWN@BigDinoSpumoni @leto_hariz @meloniklol True, most sports don’t have an open class. But some already do, like motorsports, sailing, shooting, and chess. And just because something isn’t common today doesn’t mean it can’t be introduced.
A protected women’s category plus an open category seems like a fair solution.
@BL_DAEWN@BigDinoSpumoni @leto_hariz @meloniklol Oh yeah I missed that. Well in sports it is common to have a league for women, and an open class. So let the trans men compete in the open class just like they want to, since they don't identify as a woman anyways.
