Alex Kaplan at MMFA: 

Right-wing figures and outlets — including Fox News’ Tucker Carlson — amplified a troll account and its deceptive tweet which used a racist 4chan meme to spread anti-trans sentiment following a mass shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.

On March 27, a gunman, who police have identified as a trans person, allegedly killed six people at a Christian school in Nashville.

Following the shooting, Twitter account @TNDtracker — which has since been suspended — used a meme from 4chan, used a 2020 image from a magazine of a person holding a gun, and added text seemingly advocating for a “#transdayofvengeance.”

Anti-trans commentators have used a Twitter troll account that posted a 4chan meme about “Trans Day Of Vengeance” with the purpose of discrediting the trans rights movement.

I saw Alana McLaughlin's UNFIGHTABLE and it was so good! The far-right pundits hating on her game are going to lose it over her brilliant comebacks in the film. It'll be streaming starting October 5th.

I googled "Alana Mclaughlin cracked skull" and found a few articles talking about it, and a Reddit r/MMA tread with a link to an ESPN article: [Spoiler] Transgender fighter Alana McLaughlin makes her MMA debut against Celine Provost

this article has no mention of mclaughlin cracking any skulls, so i think that was about fallon fox

Thank you, I’ll admit I definitely got a little too heated too. I’ve had a bad coughing fit all night and it definitely put me in a shittier mood, sorry.

To be clear, I’m not saying every veteran should suffer or anything. That’s not the kind of justice I believe in. I just think ultimately I have more sympathy for their victims than I have for them. And that doesn’t make them permanently evil. I agree that people can change. Aaron/Lily Bushnell is a great example, though obviously dying isn’t necessary for change, redemption, restorative justice, etc. I definitely know of some US veterans who made that change and have become a force against what they were once part of (Alana McLaughlin comes to mind), but that also doesn’t require reckoning with what they did.

Ultimately, I think what you want is best served by what op is saying. We both agree that the US military is bad for everyone. Mitigating that harm involves convincing people not to join, hence the meme at the start

Shouts to Alana McLaughlin on her MMA debut. Didn’t even know this was happening. Can’t imagine the reception she’s received from the most vocal parts of the MMA community has been warm.

Also shout to Celine Provost for taking the fight.

Was it something I said? 😯

No sympathy for men that beat on women. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[a-warhammer-nerd]

@yplk Thank you for being more cordial. I appreciate that. What you brought up with women having mental illness or fears surrounding men is a valid point, and one I was weighing too. I haven’t come to a full conclusion yet. One thing I know is that I’d prioritize women when it comes to them having intimate private spaces, including prisons, dressing rooms and DV an SA Victim centers. Those would be places to draw a hard line.

With events such as chess, that would be a different story. But taking a closer look on the question why chess is divided by gender, I see that the most prominent female only tournaments are highly esteemed: Women’s World Chess Championship and the Women’s Chess Olympiad.

In these particular events, yes, I will concede. What I was previously envisioning was something more local. My reasoning for concession is related to recognition of women.

The more important the event, the stricter the gate.

Now, on the other point you made about an under 15 division, that is different because of a basis of age. There is more in play and far heavy red flags of an adult wanting to compete against a child. It does not fully compare so I don’t consider it a strong argument.

What I do take in is your argument on intent. With how loose guidelines there are on the identification of trans people, yes, intent is difficult to prove. I do not deny creeps trying to use the trans label, or people even who are dysphoric and transitioning and still a threat. Such as Alana McLaughlin and Eli Erlick. Jeffrey Marsh is another can of evil. Then you have the rabid supporters. Evidenced by the crowd that kept Riley Gaines trapped in a room for hours after speaking out against injustices toward women by transwomen in the sport sector.

From that end, it would require an overhaul of who is passed through the medical system to begin with, and for the trans “community” to self police. But neither is occurring.

And on that speculation, it is asking a lot for a lot of patience from others who become collateral in this mess, even when asked by well intentioned transwomen.

@hyperdemona I do understand why women want exclusive spaces. And if you’ve chosen to read what I wrote previously in this reply, you would see where I will come to draw the line.

I didn’t elaborate yet because I want to keep that topic more in my address to you.

For one, I am a biological female. I have dysphoria surrounding my anatomy, and while on hormones I have had a reduction in various mental disorders. So I will continue.

That aside, I am also very aware of my vulnerabilities as a female, and I too am constantly on alert as I go on my daily life from a female perspective.

I know essentially nothing about you at this point of time, but I do read aggression in your tone. Venom is my perception. And I recognize that because when I am more passionate because something distresses me and the focus of my concern seems to be missed, I emphasize what it is I consider a threat. Given what I know from reading posts from other women with your stance, sometimes talking with them when there’s civility, I think it’s unfortunately very possible you’ve suffered greatly at the hands of men, and what you seek is a safe space across various settings, not just intimate spaces. On this end, the type of pain experienced here is greater than dysphoria. If transwomen are permitted, I would hope that for those who have trauma that accommodations could still be in place for them. But if there are mixed gender tournaments locally, then I see no reason transwomen should need access specifically to the female only tournaments.

What do you guys think about the recent ruling banning TIMs from women's chess? Was it necessary?

[coochiequeens]

This guy and Fallon Fox aren’t even ”ground breaking”.

At least when Andy did it people knew it was a bs publicity stunt. And he never beat a woman the way Fallon Fox did. Other men at the time wouldn’t put up with that.

“The fact of the matter is I’m at the beginning and 38,” McLaughlin said. “I want to go as far as I can, but I really want to help normalize trans people in sports. This [fight] will start my contribution.”

She did won her debut against Celine Provost.
