‘Not fair’: World cycling bronze medalist cries foul after transgender woman wins gold
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/not-...-cries-foul-after-transgender-woman-wins-gold

Now that it's women vs transgender, wonder if any liberal MSM sites report on this.... Are these women complaining now LGBTiphobe? Think of all the medals Bruce would have one had he transitioned earlier. Can't wait to see this in Tennis and Gymnastics....

They should create a TG category for them to compete in. Problem solved.

Read the replies. Ffs. Gender reveal parties are stupid AF, but this ain't it.

Remind me never to read that crap again.

This is just stupid. Razek should not have apologized. He spoke the truth. You can't satisfy everyone. Focus on your brand, and core audience. The runway show is a fantasy geared toward a segment. And that segment is not plus size and trans. Surprised we don't have a "Bruce's Secret" yet with bulge forgiving panties. I'm fine with all trans stuff if that's what makes them happy, but don't expect the rest of the world to cater and mainstream you into every facet of society.

I think you might be onto something.

Ben Shapiro spoke at Ohio State, and they lost their collective minds. This was sent in an email by a scholarship program at Ohio State:
Shapiro’s rhetoric has the potential to threaten the emotional and mental safety of much of the campus community. If you do not feel comfortable around a climate that will be created by Ben Shapiro’s presence, we encourage you to seek a safe environment for yourself. Knowing the hostile environment that can result from these kinds of events, we encourage you to seek an inclusive environment and reach out to talk with someone. If you do not have a safe space or prefer not to be alone, please feel free to join other Morrill Scholars and our staff on the MSP learning community on the third floor of Blackburn House tonight from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thank you and stay safe.

Meanwhile, they protested outside against Shapiro's "hate speech" by yelling obscenities at conservatives and chanting things like "John McCain's Dead!"... which I dunno even how to start unpacking that.

It cracks me up... Shapiro can be blunt edged at times but he’s really nothing more than a well spoken conservative. He’s not hateful, he’s not dangerous, he’s just a Republican... and they burn shit, protest, smash stuff all in protest of him, it’s unreal how far down the rabbit hole you have to be....

Mother of God...

I'm so sick of of this crap. I'm the most "progressive" of my friends, hell I've voted for Democrats ohhhh. However, to do this kind of shit because a conservative speaker is coming to your university, and you disagree with his stance is asinine. Ignore him, invite an alternate speaker for another time (even same night different building), shit you can even do a silent protest against him. Yet these people just honestly believe that anything someone from the right argues is just TOTALLY out of hatred, racism, sexism, etc. If you argue these dumb college kids you somehow risk losing everything too.

That's ridiculous.

They should make the kids sell them and give the money as alms.

Being outraged over a couple dozen people being outraged is pretty much this entire thread.

i think it's a broader case of small groups making every thing in society about them, and using the victim, sexism, racism, or fill in the blank card to force corps and gov into changing policy, marketing, law, etc. to fit them instead of them the masses.

If you are a trans, and VS isn't marketing to you, don't buy from VS. I'm not demanding VS strut 40 something guys down the catwalk to make me feel better. things are just getting stupid. you have the "boy scouts" bowing to pressure and now becoming just the "scouts"... and then you have the "girl scouts" pissed... absolutely nothing is safe from the silliness.

Andrew Zimmern starts his own Chinese restaurant.

He calls out the shitty mock-Chinese places that midwesterners eat at, in an attempt to give credit to actual, authentic Chinese cuisine.

Andrew Zimmern is then lambasted as an insensitive cultural elitist.

THE DUDE WAS MAKING A JOKE THAT AIMED TO TURN PEOPLE TOWARDS AUTHENTIC CHINESE FOOD. THE REAL THING. HE WAS ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE THE REAL CULTURE THROUGH FOOD. HE WAS DOING A GOOD THING.

But because he called out the shitty versions of Chinese-American restaurants and their food, he's insensitive.

They have unlocked his account. LMAO.

And now they're lying about what they did. They said it was "temporarily suspended" and in the email that they sent the user before they started getting heat from senators they said it was permanently suspended and would not be restored.

Twitter trying verrrrrrrrry hard not to have more hearing on the hill.

Hard to justify or rationalize their reason for freezing the account.

Hardship is problematic,... the real world is problematic... basically it in a nutshell.
