I don’t understand why people are complaining about a women’s world cup player being trans

It’s still a biological female, playing against other biological females, which is completley fair? Why does gender matter? I don’t think trans females should compete in female sports due to the physical advantages - it’s not fair on biological females. But there’s no difference here?

Also, imagine if this was a biological man coming out as trans. Would we start persuading them to go be a female footballer? No, since we know that’s unfair on females.

This whole incident just shows in sports that instead of having some acceptance of trans people in sports, we whine and complain saying they’re in the wrong category.

but what did he say that was false? also, what downsides do you think he should have mentioned? also, have you ever seen a pro-capitalist video essay that says that capitalism is flawed???

idk, I’m too lazy to do any research on it. The video was just raising some echo chamber red flags.

Also, about the capitalist video essay, I don’t watch video essays for that very reason.

i just think that overall, a socialist system provides better benefits to the ordinary people/workers :)

without the socialist aspects of the american economic system, it would be an awful place to live and a terrible place for workers. capitalist countries brag about the high quality of life which is provided by their socialist systems, which is just contradictory and hypocritic. the actual video version shows some images/videos/screenshots of articles, etc. which do help support some of his points too.

also, the whole point of the red scare and the anti-communist/anti-socialist propaganda you still see today is to create an echo chamber that blocks out messages that the government fears would be appealing to workers/the people. so if you're worried about an echo chamber, it's better to start there.

also, the successful socialist countries that have been suppressed by the United States and other capitialist countries serve as great examples of this. When they see a successful country implementing Socialism, they suppress it so that they can say “No socialist country has succeeded”. The other thing is that most countries that try Socialism are poorer, meaning that they have fewer resources to fight against this influence/military action from countries like the U.S.

Yeah idk much about economic systems, I was just skeptical of the video.
