And the author of that report? Robert F. "RFK" Kennedy.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

The worst is that there are millions of stupid people believing this made up statistic

As a trans woman, I make sure to steal a medal with my coffee every morning. I have over 300 confirmed Olympic golds, as well as over 400 silvers and over 1000 coppers. I can steal a medal just by walking into Planet Fitness. I melt them down and turn them onto Estrogen injections that I then distribute at your local high school

Best I can tell, the number is more in the 20s, and 0 in the Olympics.

Those that did win competitions, did not "steal" them from anyone. Shame on this news article and shame on the Department for ~~Education~~ Misinformation for spreading garbage like this.

That one transwoman athlete has all Bruce Jenner's medals

[-] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 days ago

Shame on this news article

Calling NYP news is like calling Vanity Fair news. It's tabloid garbage.

[-] Malica@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

I expect no better from the post

[-] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 29 points 3 days ago

Remember folks, this isn't about trans people, its a fresh new avenue for them to hate women.

If a trans woman succeeds, its only because they were amab, and they should be forced to play in men's sports. If a 5'8" 195 bearded dude succeeds but was afab, does he have to play women's sports? Of course not. He's a man.

Saying that blatant transphobia "isn't about trans people" is certainly a take. Them also being misogynists doesn't mean this isn't bigotry directed at trans people.

Edit: Also, trans men are routinely forced to join women's teams. Saying trans men are allowed on men's teams by the same people that want trans women to not be in women's sports is a lie. There just aren't many trans men who can join any sports teams, as almost all sports state that you can't take testosterone for any reason.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 38 points 4 days ago

LOL. The only time Americans "care" about women's sports.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 4 days ago

and its usually men voicing thier concerns, with a little bit of terfing.

[-] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

It's not natural if a man doesn't want to control something to do with women. Must be all the new government mandated testosterone injections.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

1984, by George Orwell

That needs to be branded on everyone who demands it of us. They're your enemy and should be treated as such.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Lyndon B. Johnson

Nothing ever changes except which marginalised group they target. But its always... ALWAYS the same strategy; get them fighting a culture war so that they are too distracted to notice the real enemy.

No comment on how accurate it is but yes

"A trans woman won an Ultimate Frizbee event! They're robbing women of their Gold Medals!"

#10 on their list, for anyone who cares.

Story by this gem of a reporter:

"Natalie covers everything from weird news to crime and courts. She once helped expose the coverup of a cross-dressing groundhog who died after she was dropped by former Mayor Bill de Blasio"

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

pick journalism

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

The real crime is that none of those tournaments gave a trophy to Trump. None of them.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 days ago

My town gives out a little medal to every kid who participated in Little League, so I think they are counting that.

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Doesn't it take few months for HRT to remove practically all muscle advantages anyway?

[-] Yew@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

So is that every Olympic Gold in the 21st century?

[-] Deadeyegai@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Maybe not Olympic specifically, but still completely outrageous. What else from a bootlicker rag?

[-] superfes@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Try to math that out...

[-] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Think that’s bad? Imagine the number of partipation trophies they have stolen!!!

[-] Maelvie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Last time i checked it was 4637, usual sloppy journalism at work, damn leftists

[-] azimir@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

I had two stolen this morning!

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

I did the research and the number was -4

[-] klugerama@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Huh, I thought it was 8647

[-] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Git gud bitches.

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I'm pretty sure most of them were not even gold plated, just painted gold.

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

I thought this was part 2 of the onion. I guess it’s not.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 4 days ago

Might as well be at this point... Mainstream media is cooked

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The onion had an article about a trans girl who transitioned solely to win medals at swimming events. The article ended with her saying she didn’t know how to swim.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 3 days ago

That's not funny... Just like, satire done badly

And I understand it, no way in hell I'd be an onion writer right now.... The truth is so satirical that their job is impossible

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

It fits with the absurdity of some folks obsession with trans in sports.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Could someone in the US send them an freedom of information request for their sources?

[-] CrimeIsLegalNow@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

Well, no, because that's not how a FOIA request works and because even if it was the system was sabotaged so there's like a six month waiting period despite the law requiring twenty days.

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

i just love stealing shrug-outta-hecks

[-] GreenBeard@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

Well that's a crock of BS.
