Looking forward to a new generation without views like scooter's
You're kind of a dick lately

I don't doubt it. I'm just getting tired of the ignorance on here, man. There's just been a lot of bullshit on the boards lately for whatever reason. And I get it, I guess? It's easy to be comfortable and never have your beliefs/values questioned. If I'm the dick for calling out scooter for holding what I interpret to be transphobic beliefs, then so be it I guess.
Everyone is somethingphobic. Fact
People are not ignorant simply because they disagree with you.

What are you referring to?
The kinds of rhetoric that scooter is using about a transgender athlete are eerily similar to the types of rhetoric used to keep sports segregated. At some point, our society will reach a point where we view gender in ways similar to how we view race. The natural and social science is already there. It's a shame that posters would rather hold on to their ignorance on these issues instead of learning more. Maybe it's easier if you come into (knowing) contact with transgender people, idk.
Is it OK for an athlete to start identifying as transgender in order to excel in a sport they couldn't otherwise compete? Not saying that's happening, but it certainly could. And are you saying that there will no longer be men's and women's sports eventually? HS/college/pro leagues/teams will encompass both (all?) genders? That will certainly never happen.

We're like 314 generations away from being generally accepting of transgenders.

I'm sure there are TONS of people who are willing to go through the stigma of being labeled TG in order to play HS or college sports. TONS!
What OGB is referring to is your history of anyone who disagrees with you being assailed as being ignorant. On top of that, you almost never (I think I remember one) admit you are wrong. Even when definitive links are shown to you, rather admitting you are wrong you change the subject, become adamant and refuse to reply.
This is who you have been the entire time you have posted here.
I realize we're talking a very tiny number of people, but would you not think that a man competing against a woman in a sporting event would have an advantage ? Obviously some degree of training and skill is assumed in this case.
