BlueTigerLion 08/14/24 11:34:53 AM #1:	https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-13743107/espn-star-transgender-athletes-womens-sports.html ESPN broadcaster Kirk Herbstreit has claimed he 'doesn't give a shit' about any pushback he may receive for his view on transgender athletes competing in women's sports. Herbstreit answered 'of course not' last week when an X follower asked him: 'Do men belong in women's sports?' And the football analyst expanded on his thinking on 'Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich' this week, saying he had been 'biting my tongue on a lot of topics for three years.' 'I'm done giving any shits at all about any of it,' he said, via Fox News. 'It's almost like there are two different sets of rules, and if you have a view that's a little more traditional, or I'm a Christian guy, it's like there is a different set of rules for that viewpoint. It's hard to just turn the other cheek time after time after time. 'So, yeah, I didn't really care, and I don't care at all. Which is a good thing, I think it's good and healthy to get to that place compared to, 'Oh gosh, I don't want to get canceled. I don't want to get people upset.'' I don't give a s*. I'm just going to say certain things. My problem is I have a temper, and so if I get to that point, if that fuse gets lit, I let it go, and then I'll explode and say something. That I have to be careful of.' The remarks come after an extremely charged Olympic Games in Paris, with gold medal boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting at the heart of a fierce gender debate. Both boxers, who competed in the women's divisions, saw their eligibility to compete questioned by critics after they were both disqualified from last year's world championships. --- Hey now. <cite>BlueTigerLion posted [p:981711479] in ESPN star ...

ClayGuida 08/14/24 11:43:55 AM #5:	Reminder, people have looked into trans kids participating in school sports and the number is less than 100. Country wide. Not even 100. In 2022, there were 49.4 million students. Less than 100 of those were trans kids active in sports. So for this to even be an issue is fucking stupid.
