New Rant Thread X

It occurs to me that today's society is ****** full of bigotry and hate. Yesterday I was watching YouTube and I heard a transgender teenage girl was stabbed to death because of transphobia. This is what pissed me off and yes I know that this isn't new but I don't give a flying **** anymore. Bigotry is getting worse than ever and I'm just sick and tired of this hateful society in which we lived by.

It is unfortunate about that. There will always be bigotry in some form. We can only change it by making people aware of it.

Well, today there has been some drama in the Dragon Facebook Group that I was in. I post the Dungeons & Dragons Dragon Deity Pantheon a few days ago. Someone commented and ask me if this is Dungeons & Dragons. I said yes. Then she went off one me and asked me why am I using this D&D as misinformation. Some people are here for the truth. I said what are you talking about. This has someone to do with dragons. I didn't misinform anyone. It's just ridiculous for some people to start drama with me.

Hello everyone. I don't ****ing get people these days. A friend of mine on Facebook told me that someone is bullying him because he thinks that my friend is faking autism. I told my friend to block him. I believe that my friend got autism because I should know, I also have autism/ADHD. This is also a reason why I got fewer friends on Facebook. People are ****ing jerks.

People can be jerks. I've had epilepsy all my life which is a neurological disorder and it always affected my learning. People were really cruel because they thought I was dumb and this was even teachers too. It was because of my issues of epilepsy that caused my slow delay with learning. So some people can doubt all they want. You don't have to show them a damn certificate of illness. Just let them go ahead and act like butts.

Today I was watching the news about the Olympics banning transgender athletes from their sports and I was very upset about it. This is pure discrimination at its finest.

It just occurs to me that most people on the internet are total bull**** and fake people that turn out to be bullies, bigots, crybabies, and creeps. I don't want to associate with these types of people at all.

I understand your frustration on this, but the Olympics committee is not being against transgender people for any type of hatred or biased reason. When say a man wants to become a woman, he still retains his man body in some perspective. He doesn't get a woman's body. He won't have a woman's bone structure or muscular structure. So it's not fair for a transgendered man to race in the same race as a woman. He's still stronger than her. That's their reasoning. It's not because of hatred or bias. It's because of fairness. I know it seems that way but they are trying to be fair to others.

I heard both sides of the argument that transgender women athletes have a huge advantage over cis-women athletes. I get that but in my eyes, I feel it is unfair to ban transgender women athletes to compete in sports. If they identify as women then they have every right to compete in sports just like cis-women athletes. Same thing as transgender men athletes.

I understand what you're saying, but even though they identify as women they still have bodies of men and that is not fair sports-wise. I agree it isn't fair, but you have to understand that it isn't fair to the other athletes as well. Would it be fair for one woman group to go against another who has taken drugs to help with performance? That is something that is essentially the same thing. Men grow up with different body types and they can't change just with estrogen and surgery unfortunately. Maybe they could do something about it in the future, but now we have to respect the Olympic committee's decision. I wish the world could be equal, but unfortunately it's not.
