TIM university basketball player Harriette Mackenzie criticized for playing on women's team; female player pushes him

submitted by CeruleanCarbon from self.GenderCritical

An opposing coach protested that this TIM was playing on a women's team, and one of the female players pushed him to the ground during a game. That was illegal in the game, but I feel proud of that woman for taking action. This fight is going to get worse before it gets better.

“I believe all trans people should be included in sport. But it’s especially infuriating to me because I’m playing — and being forced to play — at a major biological disadvantage,” she [sic] said. “I never went through a male puberty. I only went through a female puberty. And I don’t have ovaries, I don’t have testicles, so I have zero way of making any testosterone.”

First of all, no he did not go through a "female puberty". And second, he is male. Testosterone is just one part of that. Lack of testosterone does not turn him into a woman. And third, "trans" people are already included in sport. He can go play with the men.

He (or rather his parents) started intentionally damaging his body when he was 6 years old. That puts him at a disadvantage relative to men. That is something that he unfortunately has to live with for the rest of his life. But he does not get to compete in the women's category as a consolation prize. He should be restricted because he is (still) male.

I do believe this is the very first report I've read of the genocide we're committing and I've been at it since 2017. Someone was going to get fed up eventually; women aren't a nonviolent monolith even if we are vastly less violent than males.

We're just rlly good at hiding the bodies. And at bluffing/covering for those of us who hide the bodies.

Whoops, I probably wasn't supposed to say that

It all stems back from our days as witches, stealing all those penises and keeping them in jars... we've had centuries to perfect our techniques of covering up our crimes

I'm infuriated that his parents did this to him as an innocent 5 or 6 year old.

That doesn't give him the right to play on female teams, but he's been gaslit into believing he's female his whole life. It's like poor Jazz Jennings. How do these kids even begin to deconstruct this once they've grown up? It's like having been raised in a cult. They have no frame of reference for anything else. And doctors also removed his testicles and penis, likely before he was a legal adult. There's no way to resume the life he would have had if his parents had left him the hell alone.

As far as shoving him in the game, that's not okay. I hope everyone here can agree on that. You don't win by attacking the other side.

Pro players shove each other all the time on the court. It’s either a regular foul of which a player can have four before they’re benched, or the ref deems it’s egregious, in which case the player is ejected. The less penalties, the more likely you win the game. Thats the whole reason any team is even competing. Coach needs to reinforce that with his players.

"Radfems don't condone violence against Trans people!"

Hey, if that's the worst violence we got that's pretty good, compared to the tsunami of rhetoric about them raping and killing and beating us, which has been put into action more often than women shoving them in games.
