      Tennis has allowed transgender women in professional women competitions for decades now. By your theory all the major competitions should have been swept by trans women. Can you try to guess how many big tournaments were won by trans women since then? (Hint: it’s a very round single digit number).

      And it’s not like it’s a sport where women have a fair shot in a match with men with a similar amount of training - in 1998 Serena Williams and Venus Williams both got completely obliterated by Karsten Braasch who was the 203rd in the men’s ranking back then.

      Yay censorship!

      I wish lemmy had a feature to allow users to see censored posts without having to sift through the modlogs.

      Yeah. His comment was literally removed for saying “If you have dudes, it is easier to win against girls.

        Fuck transphobia, and fuck anyone who screams censorship at even the mildest content moderation.

          This isn’t mild content moderation.

          It’s censorship to serve an agenda.

            Our rules are clear. We remove all content that is reported if it breaks our rules. That means I’ve removed some comments by you, as well as ones against you. Just because you would rather we kept things you agree with up, that doesn’t mean we are performing “censorship to serve an agenda”

        His comment was removed for being transphobic, as it should be. If your idea of not having censorship is being free to harass people, you can go to 4Chan

          He wasn’t harassing anyone.

          I don’t think you know what that word really means.
