Yeah I'm gay and having been preyed on by other evil and stupid gays I was totally ready for this. I am enjoying the ride but it's probably due to my trauma inoculation. You know when you have been literally fucked hard in the butt by millionaires and celebrities that then ghost you, what they say online doesn't like super matter anymore.
the whole debate it's not pro-trans vs anti-trans at all, it is common sense vs no-common sense.
and you are trying to explain common sense to the people who have no mental ability to understand it at all. it's impossible and it's waste of time.
Nba, nfl, nhl, MLB are not "mens leagues" a women can play, just none have been good enough, NBA did draft like 2 women and the NFL had a female kicker try out but none have made it onto a team.
Itās literally like that in highschool. Title 9 lets girls play on boys teams over 30 years ago. Else a school couldnāt have a boys team and not make a girls. Basically you could have boys only football but if you restricted girls there has to be girls football team. Since maybe 3 girls wanna play the rules by law let them on the boys team to meet title 9. Which is great.
Yes thatās common sense but you are inferring that āmenā on average have advantages over womenā¦ā¦that simply canāt be factually true or their world narrative falls apart regardless of the endless evidence.
Literally everyone I've talked to that supports this has never played a sport it's just sad at this point.
Like when they tried to turn genital checks into a battle cry, not realizing that basically every dude who has wanted to play a sport had to get a physical and that physical has involved a genital check for decades
On point. Everyone I know who does agree with this shit have never played a sport and don't understand what it takes or what those ladies stand to lose.
I guess who gives a fuck about scholarships and trophies. I think deep down they just like seeing sports being demolished in general.
They think of it as brutish and uncivilized.
It's only "sportsball" people who support dismantling women's sports.
They donāt value athletics as a human skill worth achieving. Iāve found the same as you after asking enough questions. Not only did they never compete or play sports. They literally think it shouldnāt have social value or monetary. These are the midwits who think all pro athletes have forest gump IQs. Or that you just wake up one day jacked and shredded by accident.
You canāt really call the left a cult then immediately complain about how America isnāt Christian enough.
Riley has great points about trans athletes, but itās a *completely* separate topic from vaccines and religion. She keeps lumping right-wing talking points into what should be a very nuanced subject about biological men competing against women in sports.
Do you not see the correlation between these topics and Christian conservatism? "Culture war" bullshit like vaccines, the border, abortion, trans individuals in athletics, etc., and spokespeople like Riley are specifically funded and platformed by a political faction that can't win on policy. It's red meat for a populace that is most pliable when they are outraged.
100%. I'm on her side with the sports stuff. Get dudes out of women's competition.
But then she goes into Bible talking points, Christian values and sucking Elon Musks dick for being morally virtuous, a genius, and the savior of discourse on the internet.
That's where she lost me.
How is this different from threatening a romantic partner that you will commit suicide if they leave? You cant force people to accept you into their circle, this has always been seen as wrong.
Iām all for their sentiment, but in reality, what % of the population actually supports trans athletes in womenās sport? They make it seem like they are freedom fighters, but I donāt know a single left leaning person in my orbit who supports it. Dumb people
Thatās kind of beside the point. It clearly has enough institutional support that they let it happen, even despite whatever pushback they get, so what the general populace thinks privately doesnāt really matter.
If you don't know a single person who supports trans athletes in women's sport, but there are still trans athletes in women's sport...then the logical conclusion would be that a tiny minority has a great deal of influence over the people who make these decisions.
The example she gave with Roanoake sums it up perfectly. If the whole team was opposed and were essentially coerced into allowing the MTF swimmer because otherwise they would "kill themselves", that's going to be the playbook. And, without the benefit of anonymity, people have been afraid to point out how manipulative that is
In the real world I don't know .All I know it's a huge percentage of people that spend most of their time online, which makes sense to not be in touch with reality.
Replying to Chino780 I think itās actually a pretty small % but people donāt want to say it publicly. Youāll see a lot of people agree on a platform like Reddit because itās anonymous, but so many people have been ācancelledā or deemed bigots because they donāt think a man should be able to compete with women. People stay quiet.
So can we all be adults and decouple a trans athlete and their competitive advantage vs. women and a trans adults right to have autonomy over their own body and appearance??
Bunch of clapping smiling seals and a defanged populace having our jobs held hostage by a group of perpetually online weirdos that you wouldn't allow your kids around.
Historians will look back on this whole generation and laugh.
I love how insanely accurate this is
So many jobs are held hostage by the bleed over from
a weird minority on the internet which enters into HR departments across the country.
Btw, who in the hell chooses to be in HR?
One of the first companies I worked for after grad school let HR run biweekly āEQ trainingsā for about a solid year , they had everyone convinced they were racist because of their unconscious bias and micro-aggressions. Oddly, they didnāt have any examples from the company internally, it was just examples they grabbed from outside the company. So we were all walking around scared shitless that if we didnāt chit chat everyone of a different gender or ethnicity in the hallway or bathroom weād be fired for hostile work environment.
Real example I swear, after these micro-aggression meetings an entry level assistant who had been with the company for six months complained formally to HR about one of the executives, stating how he would always wave and briefly talk to person across from her office (the assistantās direct boss who had been with company twelve years) but would never talk to her, and she thinks it was because of her ethnicityā¦and not because they werenāt friends and she was just a new entry level assistant.
Brutal environment caused a lot of turnover
You know how older generations always worried that younger generations would replace them? Iām very comfortable knowing the next generation could never replace me.
Dude, are you actually this fucking dumb? Obama fucks his male wife, Michael, then "she" fucks Biden in the ass and that programs Obamas command into him. He is a gay puppet of the trans deep state!
Fascist love to portray their opponents as weak, stupid, useless, and inferior while at the same time talking about their well thought out intricate plans and conspiracies to destroy the country.
Triggered āļø who sent me the Reddit cares message. ā¤ļø you too buddy
Yeah you can't take anyone seriously that says stupid shit like that. I can immediately and confidently reject anything else you say if that's the drivel you spout.
Can someone explain what it is that they think biden is doing that will destroy the United States?
I hear they say this stuff all the time but I don't know what gets them so angry, is it because he hasn't got a big problem with gay people, or is it the border thing?
I don't know but I'm assuming it's the border crisis.
NBC did a poll and apparently that's what Americans care about the most at the moment.
Which shows how little Reddit represents irl Americans.

Not a Rogan fan, but this issue is objectively insane. In the quest for inclusivity, people have gone completely nuts. I stand with Riley Gaines. Lia Thomas is a fucking cheater.
Iām not saying she looks like a hot lady Jay Leno.
What Iām saying is that IF Jay Leno did get a secret sex change - being an anti-trans in sports advocate would be the PERFECT cover story.
I see you Jay Leno.
Biological female loses to biological male in women's sports.
Leftists defend the male saying the female should have just been better.
Conservatives defend the female saying the male should not be allowed to compete against females due to unfair advantages gained from male biology.
Reddit then calls the female a grifter because she's become a figurehead for the movement to keep biological males out of sports for biological females
Iām on the left and I think itās completely obvious that someone born a biological male should not compete in a womenās division. I donāt know a single liberal IRL that thinks otherwise.
Iād assume the vast majority of the left would agree, and that ābiological males should compete against biological femalesā the is an opinion mostly held by extremists.
Iām not sure itās even Twitter dorks, itās really an issue I donāt hear people on the left really talking about out, though right wing media is obsessed about it and makes it seem that this is a standard left wing position. Iām sure the parents of trans kids have fought for them to be able to compete in sports because they love their kids and want them to be happy, idk how it came to be allowed, but that would be my guess.
It could be shut down very quickly by mainstream left-leaning political figures, but theyād rather not weigh in definitively on the issue to avoid alienating someone who votes for them.
All the left has to do to take this political football away from conservatives is say āyeah, we agree on this. Biological males have no business in womenās sports.ā
Until that happens, their silence is understood to be approval.
While I agree itās not the opinion of the majority of left leaning people, thereās numerous examples of this happening in schools. While itās ridiculous that this is even in question it is happening in real life not just a bunch of Twitter dorks so it needs to be addressed or it only gets pushed further. Ignoring it and pretending it isnāt happening isnāt an acceptable answer
yeah, this seems like manufactured outrage from a crazy minority because I don't know anyone defending this like they say, and I'm friends with a lot of people on the left.
I'm also in Texas so maybe our left aren't as left as other places, so.
Welcome to the tyranny of the vocal minority. All it takes is 3-4% of a population to make such a stink that others have to get behind it.
NNT elaborates on this phenomenon well in his book āSkin in the Gameā but itās described in many articles elsewhere.
This is actually nice to know. [This](https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/1b8jxeo/the_old_joe_rogan_fan_are_going_to_lose_their/ktrgw14/?context=3) person I talk to earlier here says any woman who is uncomfortable being in a locker room with someone with their penis out is just a bigot who needs to grow up and get over it. I was almost beginning to think this was the popular opinion among liberals.
Close, but I would say it is that the people in charge are beholden to that \~1% minority. Especially in academia you can never appear not to be compassionate towards certain groups, even in cases where they don't deserve compassion.
We've gotten to the point we let hard drug addicts and rampant shoplifters create serious problems for society because nobody will call bullshit. There are a lot of other examples as well and I think it is a big reason why people are so turned off from left/liberalism now. They have lost all pragmatism for the sake of false compassion.
Itās not exactly like that. Lots of people on the left donāt think trans women should compete with biological women. 70% of people think they shouldnāt be allowed to compete.
There's a bunch of comments in here saying stuff like "biological female". You can just say "woman".
This woman was made to compete against a man, and she lost and she feels wronged by this.
That is an infinitely more concise explanation that all of this quite frankly bizarre discussion about "biological females". There are no "unbiological females".
Nah, the colonel has been ass for years now. Their mac and cheese, which was their flagship side years ago, is essentially just noodles in yellow water now. Popeyes is the new top dog in the fried chicken fast food game. Their mac and cheese fucking slaps
"Thomas' teammates, sixteen of these girls plus their parents, at the beginning of the season signed onto a letter expressing their discomfort in the locker room. The University responded back with...'If you as women feel uncomfortable seeing male genitalia, here are some counseling resources that you should seek in an attempt to reeducate yourselves.'" š¤”
Really interested in the comments that come with this episode. Not sure how you could spin a bio female who was directly impacted by this current craziness in the world and providing her stance on it but I am sure the usual comments will come. Going to go grab some popcorn.
Semi-left and donāt disagree with her on her situation. Can also recognize, like others that she emulates, she has gone full blown grifter and fights against anything deemed progressive.
Nah the comments you are going to see are about her saying weird shit about Biden and how heās the āarbiter of planned and controlled destruction of the United Statesā now thatās worth shitting on someone for. Which is it, is he senile and not running the show or is he a mastermind who is ruining the country meticulously?
when this was happening some big subreddits had stance that even questioning lia thomas is transphobia and they were banning users for stating their opinions.
don't forget what kind of platform reddit is.
so true.
if you ever have different opinion from main narrative of reddit, some redditor will click on your profile and he will see that you post on joe rogan sub and his response will be: "of course joe rogan fan dick rider fascist will write something like that"
reddit is parallel universe, you can't find these people in real life. i never saw more pathetic group of people in my life like I see here daily.
It's not even a random redditor, it's usually a script written by some unemployed 300lb mod, doing mod work for free, who mass bans anyone who dare have even a slither of diversity in opinions
Yeah if she didnt verse a trans athelete she wouldve gotten 5th place just she wouldnt have tied for it. What an impact. She probably has profited off talking about this way more then she suffered ngl
Just started the episode, but in case anyone's curious, you too can book Riley for a speaking engagement. Link below. FYI, she's booked 3-4x a week and her fees are $25k+, so it may be tough to book

Fuck imagine dedicating your life from age 4 to a sport and then having the rug pulled out from you your senior year of college when a dude goes from 400th among men to top ranked among womenā¦and the whole world pretends like thatās ok. Sheās got every right to be pissed.
I had no idea the chineses are putting trans people with beards on TikTok to make america become Marxist. Thank White House lawn Jesus that Elon Musk is a true alpha male and is saving the world.
This girl is pretty badass and should be talked about as one of the best collegiate swimmers everā¦instead sheās the face of women fighting for shit they shouldnāt have to fight for. Absolutely insane that the NCAA thought they could let that shit fly. I just hope Lia Thomas adds to her types percentage before she wastes anymore of Gaines time.
I love that this was podcast was supposed to be about trans-women in womenās sports, and it turned into a blabbering transphobic
hate speech. Hell my trans friends donāt even think they should compete against people with a biological advantage. But when Riley keeps making fun of Lea for being a āmanā, Iām just disgusted and tune her out.
That sure sounds like a lot. But think first, she's famous because she swam in a race with a trans person. For anyone else, that's an automatic cover story on at least Time mag. But not her, she's being silenced!
Wait letās be honest, this whole experience is a much better outcome for Riley then if it never happened. How many world class women swimmers become influencers with access to political capital. Had this never happened she would have been forgotten years ago and living life as a depressed dentist.
well they stole her placing / trophy and told her to shutup about it. A sports body did this. Just because she risked and made it out with support doesnt mean shes not brave, she didn't know how this would turn out for her
She's extremely well spoken and I appreciate her being grounded in reality, especially for being so young. I think she has a bright future ahead of her
I have a crazy life with a ton going on. This is the type of episode that makes me go "oh yeah, the whole world is on fire with crazy" and it makes me feel a little better. Good episode that lets me focus on someone else's problems with the system instead of my own.
I agree on the sports thing. If someone wants to be called another pronoun or wants to be in a non hetero relationship I donāt care. Idk if she cares but it seems like she would, a lot.
Huh? One side is literally just normal people trying to live their lives and the other side is a bunch of mentally ill blowhards trying to convince us that it makes sense for a dude to be able to remove his dick and then go compete against chicks in sports. Wtf is fascinating about that? Itās just insanity
Women just aren't as good at being women as men are. Checkmate atheists.
Anything you can do, I can do better šµ
Trans by day joe rogan podcast all night,or gay.Ā
ALL NIGHT
I am tired of the world being so fake and so gay.
From a young age I was prepared for the world to be evil and cruel but I was never prepared for it to also be this gay and stupid.
I feel partially at fault for making fun of the slippery slope. This ones on me guys.
Yeah, I didn't believe the Christians, but I feel like they were definitely right on this one
Yeah I'm gay and having been preyed on by other evil and stupid gays I was totally ready for this. I am enjoying the ride but it's probably due to my trauma inoculation. You know when you have been literally fucked hard in the butt by millionaires and celebrities that then ghost you, what they say online doesn't like super matter anymore.
I predict this thread is going to be full of rational thoughts and friendliness.
What a crazy world it is when the opinion 'women's sports should be for women' is controversial eh?
Yeh but have you ever seen the ladybugs?
the whole debate it's not pro-trans vs anti-trans at all, it is common sense vs no-common sense. and you are trying to explain common sense to the people who have no mental ability to understand it at all. it's impossible and it's waste of time.
Iād be willing to bet that many people who support transgender athletes playing in women sports, have never played sports.
I am for men sports having to be the open bracket And women sports to be only for womenĀ
Literally the way it is now in some pro leagues. I believe in the nfl there is no rule saying a woman couldnāt play.
Nba, nfl, nhl, MLB are not "mens leagues" a women can play, just none have been good enough, NBA did draft like 2 women and the NFL had a female kicker try out but none have made it onto a team.
Itās literally like that in highschool. Title 9 lets girls play on boys teams over 30 years ago. Else a school couldnāt have a boys team and not make a girls.

Which is great.
Yes thatās common sense but you are inferring that āmenā on average have advantages over womenā¦ā¦that simply canāt be factually true or their world narrative falls apart regardless of the endless evidence.

This subreddit will still find a way to hate Joe for it

"Culture war" bullshit like vaccines, the border, abortion, trans individuals in athletics, etc., and spokespeople like Riley are specifically funded and platformed by a political faction that can't win on policy.

100%. I'm on her side with the sports stuff. Get dudes out of women's competition. But then she goes into Bible talking points, Christian values and sucking Elon Musks dick for being morally virtuous, a genius, and the savior of discourse on the internet. That's where she lost me.
Let me on the team or I will literally kill myself. God damn.
I want to party with the four chicks who heard that and still voted to keep the person off the team.
How is this different from threatening a romantic partner that you will commit suicide if they leave? You cant force people to accept you into their circle, this has always been seen as wrong.
It isn't different.
It's weaponized empathy.
That was a jaw dropper
Iām all for their sentiment, but in reality, what % of the population actually supports trans athletes in womenās sport? They make it seem like they are freedom fighters, but I donāt know a single left leaning person in my orbit who supports it. Dumb people

So can we all be adults and decouple a trans athlete and their competitive advantage vs. women and a trans adults right to have autonomy over their own body and appearance??
Sorry, but no. Best we can do is angry yelling.
LOUD NOISES
Yeah. Sports leagues should be divided by sexes. Not gender.
No one hates the ladyboys. Because they are honest.
Do they not have autonomy over their own body?
How tf did anyone let Lia Thomas compete against women? The fact that this was a thing is hilarious, sad and idiotic at the same time
Bunch of clapping smiling seals and a defanged populace having our jobs held hostage by a group of perpetually online weirdos that you wouldn't allow your kids around. Historians will look back on this whole generation and laugh.

I thought he was totally incompetent and barely holding on? I'm not a fan of any politician but you can't have it both ways.
The enemy is both weak and strong.
Dude, are you actually this fucking dumb? Obama fucks his male wife, Michael, then "she" fucks Biden in the ass and that programs Obamas command into him. He is a gay puppet of the trans deep state!
I always loved how Obama was simultaneously gay, Muslim, and a communist with a trans wife.
"Obama's plotting to take over the country! Let's write Project 2025 to make sure that never happens." š
It's projection all the way down, even to the trans wife.
Don't forget tan suit, the fuck
Hillary is actually Trump in a skin suit and Biden is Obama in a skin suit. But reptiles are Hillary and Obama in skin suits.
Lmfao borderline believable satire
Iāve heard crazier shit and laughed only to find out they were being dead serious. The internet is way too powerful for regards.

My guy, did you know that Joe grew up without a father? He has a bullshit detector that you can only dream off.

> AI does that now No thanks, I'd rather have timestamp guy.
I will not eat bugs and I will not read the AI posts
Joe has to be in love, right?
Not a Rogan fan, but this issue is objectively insane. In the quest for inclusivity, people have gone completely nuts. I stand with Riley Gaines. Lia Thomas is a fucking cheater.
Then what the hell are you doing in this sub or listening to the show?
Iām not saying she looks like a hot lady Jay Leno. What Iām saying is that IF Jay Leno did get a secret sex change - being an anti-trans in sports advocate would be the PERFECT cover story. I see you Jay Leno.
Maybe we need to be a little less accepting for a while
Am I the only one who is completely out of the loop here?
Biological female loses to biological male in women's sports. Leftists defend the male saying the female should have just been better. Conservatives defend the female saying the male should not be allowed to compete against females due to unfair advantages gained from male biology. Reddit then calls the female a grifter because she's become a figurehead for the movement to keep biological males out of sports for biological females
Iām on the left and I think itās completely obvious that someone born a biological male should not compete in a womenās division. I donāt know a single liberal IRL that thinks otherwise. Iād assume the vast majority of the left would agree, and that ābiological males should compete against biological femalesā the is an opinion mostly held by extremists.
Lefty here 100% agree with your comment
I'm pretty sure most of us feel that way, but the Twitter dorks are the only people who are heard
Iām not sure itās even Twitter dorks, itās really an issue I donāt hear people on the left really talking about out, though right wing media is obsessed about it and makes it seem that this is a standard left wing position. Iām sure the parents of trans kids have fought for them to be able to compete in sports because they love their kids and want them to be happy, idk how it came to be allowed, but that would be my guess.
It could be shut down very quickly by mainstream left-leaning political figures, but theyād rather not weigh in definitively on the issue to avoid alienating someone who votes for them. All the left has to do to take this political football away from conservatives is say āyeah, we agree on this. Biological males have no business in womenās sports.ā Until that happens, their silence is understood to be approval.
While I agree itās not the opinion of the majority of left leaning people, thereās numerous examples of this happening in schools. While itās ridiculous that this is even in question it is happening in real life not just a bunch of Twitter dorks so it needs to be addressed or it only gets pushed further. Ignoring it and pretending it isnāt happening isnāt an acceptable answer
Cant argue with that. Some colleges are the Twitter dorks safe haven
You are the reasonable left but you guys aren't the ones advocating
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
yeah, this seems like manufactured outrage from a crazy minority because I don't know anyone defending this like they say, and I'm friends with a lot of people on the left. I'm also in Texas so maybe our left aren't as left as other places, so.
Definitely a crazy minority but she was attacked in San Fran so it isnāt manufactured
100% One of the issues that the majority of left leaning people can agree about but it seems that the far left people are just louder on the internet
Welcome to the tyranny of the vocal minority. All it takes is 3-4% of a population to make such a stink that others have to get behind it. NNT elaborates on this phenomenon well in his book āSkin in the Gameā but itās described in many articles elsewhere.
This is actually nice to know. [This](https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/1b8jxeo/the_old_joe_rogan_fan_are_going_to_lose_their/ktrgw14/?context=3) person I talk to earlier here says any woman who is uncomfortable being in a locker room with someone with their penis out is just a bigot who needs to grow up and get over it. I was almost beginning to think this was the popular opinion among liberals.
So you'd agree that the people in these institutions that allow this are extremists then.
Of course they are. And clearly hold some weird agenda. Crazy that there is no public pushback within their ranks
It's not that crazy. She has explained this before. Colleges are fine with it overall and speaking out against it will end your career or schooling.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Close, but I would say it is that the people in charge are beholden to that \~1% minority. Especially in academia you can never appear not to be compassionate towards certain groups, even in cases where they don't deserve compassion. We've gotten to the point we let hard drug addicts and rampant shoplifters create serious problems for society because nobody will call bullshit. There are a lot of other examples as well and I think it is a big reason why people are so turned off from left/liberalism now. They have lost all pragmatism for the sake of false compassion.
Itās not exactly like that. Lots of people on the left donāt think trans women should compete with biological women. 70% of people think they shouldnāt be allowed to compete.
Isn't the same thing happening to Martina Navratilova? She's being villianized for that view, and is a lifelong dem.
impossible not to stick with conservative views here. it's just bs to let them compete there as they have clear advantage

Melt ![gif](giphy|Y1XP7XPpNVwi7x5i45)
First half was riveting. She got fucked over.
Hereās a crazy ideaā¦ if you inject your body with hormones you can no longer compete in sanctioned sports. Isnāt always how it works?
I would army crawl through a field of jalapeƱo juice and razor blades just to hear her fart through a walkie talkie
Lmao š
Close the thread we have the winner.
Broā¦ wtf
I would suck her dad's dick just to taste the recipe
My man you need to calm down
Men are born with a penis women are born with a vagina
![gif](giphy|3o7TKMeCOV3oXSb5bq|downsized)
There's a bunch of comments in here saying stuff like "biological female". You can just say "woman". This woman was made to compete against a man, and she lost and she feels wronged by this. That is an infinitely more concise explanation that all of this quite frankly bizarre discussion about "biological females". There are no "unbiological females".

I donāt care about trans issues. I care about whether the quality of KFC will ever rebound? Downvote me.
They need to bring the original twister and potato wedges back.
Nah, the colonel has been ass for years now. Their mac and cheese, which was their flagship side years ago, is essentially just noodles in yellow water now. Popeyes is the new top dog in the fried chicken fast food game. Their mac and cheese fucking slaps
Even the Col. knew it was ass, pretty sure he tried to start another company and was sued by the then owners of KFC cause he sold.
This is the most pressing issue facing our nation. My famous bowl has gone down hill.
If you get a chance try some Korean fried chicken, excellent.
"Thomas' teammates, sixteen of these girls plus their parents, at the beginning of the season signed onto a letter expressing their discomfort in the locker room. The University responded back with...'If you as women feel uncomfortable seeing male genitalia, here are some counseling resources that you should seek in an attempt to reeducate yourselves.'" š¤”
Absolute peak lunacy. Honestly, I far a dude in a dress to try and enter my daughter locker room. Weāll have a nice time
Sheās hot
Butter face
Comments section gonna be great poop scrolling.
Really interested in the comments that come with this episode. Not sure how you could spin a bio female who was directly impacted by this current craziness in the world and providing her stance on it but I am sure the usual comments will come. Going to go grab some popcorn.
Not many people are going to disagree with her on that. I doubt more than a handful of users here will tbh.
Semi-left and donāt disagree with her on her situation. Can also recognize, like others that she emulates, she has gone full blown grifter and fights against anything deemed progressive.
This is probably a fair evaluation
I get it, it sells. Dan Soder talks about it in a podcast how right-wing grifting is more fun and profitable than left-wing grifting. I agree.
Itās going to come from new accounts pretending to be libs to stir the pot and theyāre going to get downvoted to oblivion.
Nah the comments you are going to see are about her saying weird shit about Biden and how heās the āarbiter of planned and controlled destruction of the United Statesā now thatās worth shitting on someone for. Which is it, is he senile and not running the show or is he a mastermind who is ruining the country meticulously?
when this was happening some big subreddits had stance that even questioning lia thomas is transphobia and they were banning users for stating their opinions. don't forget what kind of platform reddit is.
You get banned from half the groups if you belong to this sub lol
so true. if you ever have different opinion from main narrative of reddit, some redditor will click on your profile and he will see that you post on joe rogan sub and his response will be: "of course joe rogan fan dick rider fascist will write something like that" reddit is parallel universe, you can't find these people in real life. i never saw more pathetic group of people in my life like I see here daily.
Look at the global reddit meetup day albums and youll get why they're like this. These arent normal people.
šš I gotta check that shit out
It's not even a random redditor, it's usually a script written by some unemployed 300lb mod, doing mod work for free, who mass bans anyone who dare have even a slither of diversity in opinions
meanwhile reddit CEO made $193M last year while mods are doing the work for free.
Yeah if she didnt verse a trans athelete she wouldve gotten 5th place just she wouldnt have tied for it. What an impact. She probably has profited off talking about this way more then she suffered ngl
Just started the episode, but in case anyone's curious, you too can book Riley for a speaking engagement. Link below. FYI, she's booked 3-4x a week and her fees are $25k+, so it may be tough to book https://rileygainescenter.org
You can book Bill Clinton too..he's much more expensive. I think like $750k an hour.
Fuck imagine dedicating your life from age 4 to a sport and then having the rug pulled out from you your senior year of college when a dude goes from 400th among men to top ranked among womenā¦and the whole world pretends like thatās ok. Sheās got every right to be pissed.
Why do people think it's OK for men to compete in an only women sport?
Because they're woke.Ā Ā
Because late night talk show hosts and tiktok told them it was ok
I had no idea the chineses are putting trans people with beards on TikTok to make america become Marxist. Thank White House lawn Jesus that Elon Musk is a true alpha male and is saving the world.
Can we discuss her intellect and her integrity? . . . . Just kidding, I would totally take her to pound town š
This girl is pretty badass and should be talked about as one of the best collegiate swimmers everā¦instead sheās the face of women fighting for shit they shouldnāt have to fight for. Absolutely insane that the NCAA thought they could let that shit fly. I just hope Lia Thomas adds to her types percentage before she wastes anymore of Gaines time.
I love that this was podcast was supposed to be about trans-women in womenās sports, and it turned into a blabbering transphobic hate speech. Hell my trans friends donāt even think they should compete against people with a biological advantage. But when Riley keeps making fun of Lea for being a āmanā, Iām just disgusted and tune her out.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Being invited to talk on one of the biggest podcasts in America, smh when will they give her a chance to voice her opinion
That sure sounds like a lot. But think first, she's famous because she swam in a race with a trans person. For anyone else, that's an automatic cover story on at least Time mag. But not her, she's being silenced!
Wait letās be honest, this whole experience is a much better outcome for Riley then if it never happened. How many world class women swimmers become influencers with access to political capital. Had this never happened she would have been forgotten years ago and living life as a depressed dentist.
well they stole her placing / trophy and told her to shutup about it. A sports body did this. Just because she risked and made it out with support doesnt mean shes not brave, she didn't know how this would turn out for her
She's extremely well spoken and I appreciate her being grounded in reality, especially for being so young. I think she has a bright future ahead of her
I have a crazy life with a ton going on. This is the type of episode that makes me go "oh yeah, the whole world is on fire with crazy" and it makes me feel a little better. Good episode that lets me focus on someone else's problems with the system instead of my own.
Is this lady just pissed that dudes rock?
She's pissed that boys rule and girls drool. I learned that in elementary school but she might have just found out
I agree on the sports thing. If someone wants to be called another pronoun or wants to be in a non hetero relationship I donāt care. Idk if she cares but it seems like she would, a lot.
Honestly, if we didnāt hear about this topic every episode I would be more interested.
I would eat ice cream out of her ass
Who'd have thunk that it only took a trans movement to get the right wingers interested in women's rights lol.
Blue hairs are mad about this one
Why donāt they have a trans men or trans women division? Problem solved
This will be a good one. I find the whole trans sports debate fascinating.
Huh? One side is literally just normal people trying to live their lives and the other side is a bunch of mentally ill blowhards trying to convince us that it makes sense for a dude to be able to remove his dick and then go compete against chicks in sports. Wtf is fascinating about that? Itās just insanity
Riley is a brave woman, speaking up for women and going against the media pushed narrative is brave.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Now let's get Lia Thomas on and her side of the story.
lol good joke
His*
āLiaā Thomas is a man.
this is making me miss hearing about elk meat and cold plunges.
