Did blahaj miss that the same government is going to block transgender athletes from competing in women's sports at the same time?

"You can have a few rights, as a treat. Just don't look while we continue to discriminate against an even smaller percent of the population!"

Go back to jacking off to russia. You know, where being anything but heteronormative is PERSECUTED at law level.

But sure, lie about being worried about trans rights.

Spain was the world's 3rd country to legalize gay marriage. It's an extremely LGTBQ+ friendly country. The trans sport issue is super complex, due to the natural physical advantages that physical constitution can make in a sport. Don't go the simplified route. If I were a woman competing in a purely physical sport, like weight lifting, or any other sport that emphasizes power, I'd be all for the ban. Archery, or horseback riding, or any sport that emphasizes skill, no. I believe it has to be approached on a case by case basis. We can't trample biological rights over a trans rights. As I said, a really thorny issue, but Spain is not by far, very far, suspect of trans bashing. Nature can be a bitch.

what do you mean "miss"? i think everyone decent is on your side that the trans discrimination needs to stop. but this not happening at this point doesnt make this news bad. As a queer activist for many decades i can tell you that queer rights sadly come in baby steps. And that we need to fight together and celebrate every advancement.

Here I was about to make a sarcastic comment about Catholicism to make a point of how progressive this is... 😢

So you're homophobic and misogynistic? Because this news has nothing to do with trans. It has to do with gay couples and women.

So if you're twisting these good news into bad news you must be a nazi.
