I think I addressed that in the part you snipped...also I really don't think anyone that's looked into her and the situation can seriously call Rousey a TERF in anything but the most superficial way...not saying you said that, for the record.thaluikhain said:
Fair enough, I just wanted to say that being a TERF requires one to be a feminist, much as lots of people would like to think otherwise, for reasons I totally understand.Redryhno said:
Was trying to get out the idea of how far it is. Nationalists can honestly be people really looking out for their country, Nazis gets the idea of how far they're willing to go to keep their idea of how the country should be across. Much the same with TERF. And transphobia has largely become a "LOOK AT ME" type word for me because the situations it's used in are largely benign and amount to the majority of it being accidental misgendering and calling Jennie Johnny because that's what they've known them as for the majority of their life than anything actually serious.thaluikhain said:
I think people draw a pretty distinct line between being egotistical, even arrogant, and just straight up being a jerk and having zero sportmanship, and Rousey crossed that line a while ago. Not touching gloves, talking trash, disrespecting her opponents, starting weird feuds (at some point she randomly started this whole feud with ring girl Arianny Celeste, who I don't think had ever even talked to her before), and just generally coming across as borderline childish.lord canti said:

The problem is that the bone density and bone structure debates are generally made by people whose knowledge of anatomy would make a high schooler scoff. When it comes to grappling, women actually have an advantage of a bone structure that's meant to be more stable, but the differences are mostly marginal. Bone density is pretty much an average thing that also has rather marginal effects. The one point Rousey could have made in this debate is muscles, but as most trans women know, FTM hormone replacement therapy obliterates muscle faster than starvation. So it's purely the stereotypical transphobic bullshit line of; "that's really a man!", being used here, nothing more. The bone density, structure, along with muscle structure, and density argument is said to be why males can't ever dance on pointe. Well I'm trans and I learned to dance on pointe so... Yeah. Those arguments mean less than nothing to me.Redryhno said:
