ESPN ‘Celebrates’ Women By Denying Their Existence


Instead of celebrating the hard work and skill of female athletes, ESPN is dead set on erasing them and replacing them with men.

There are hundreds of thousands of talented female college and professional athletes in the U.S. who deserve recognition for their hard work, skill, and talent — but ESPN chose to celebrate this year’s Women’s History Month by boosting the resume of a man.

Over the weekend, ESPN ran a special segment recognizing Lia Thomas, a male swimmer who invaded women’s sports in 2021. What did Thomas do to land a spot as poster child for ESPN’s supposedly pro-woman campaign? He was the first man to clench an NCAA Division I women’s championship.

This is why I'm considered too little lgbtq supportive, I have some disagreements within the LGBTQ community, this is one of them. If trans women wanna compete in sports they should have a trans women competition group. Or else it's not making any sense.

@Queendragonfly I skipped over the competitive sports thing and went straight to it doesn't make sense - right from the get go.

@Budwick I respect that people suffer from body dysphoria and is born in the wrong body. I don't know how it feels but I can only imagine, no one should have to be a prisoner in the wrong body.

I respect that people's sexual orientation isn't always heterosexual, all love is love.

I respect that there's people who identify as queer

I respect there's people who prefer to be called they /them

No one should be abused or harassed on the streets on in a group, that includes all people.


What I don't support is that you only have to be 18 to start with hormone treatments I think that's way too early for someone to decide such a life changing body changing decision considering our brains aren't fully adolescents until age 25.

I've seen the detrans community. All people who regret their hormone treatments who regret their transitioning who hates their body even worse and can't ever get their original parts back. It's gotta be so extremely traumatic. And yet the only one they have to blame is themselves, but society isn't exactly helping to be careful with impacting someone with all the LGBTQ attention. Which is my other concern.

I'm not as black/white as you regarding it all, but I do have disagreements.

@Queendragonfly Thanks for your explanations - I respect that!

I am indeed black and white on this.
To me it is a binary thing - boy/ girl.
