Of course, the intent and meaning is clear from the wording alone to anyone looking at it in good faith. It isn’t just talking about sports but trying to discredit and delegitimize trans people and especially trans women.

However the foot in the door is allowed because there are people whose purpose for being came to be preventing the very few trans people in sports which comes up again and again repeatedly in any competition now including of course against cis people.

This is just vile. It is so difficult to witness a state’s whole weight utilized to persecute and disenfranchise the few trans people involved in sports this way.

Entire state wielded just to serve the compulsive thoughts of some who are obsessed about trans people and want to take it out on them by not only stealing joy from the ones who want to participate in sports but also word it in the most insultingly self-satisfied way possible.

This is just romanticizing suffering for purpose of anti-intellectualism. Nobody is capable of contextualizing all they go through let alone formulate that into a coherent worldview without prior cumulative analysis and knowledge. Even those who believe they do like this romanticization do so because they had some prior familiarity with the ideas, probably through second-hand knowledge, to relate it to theory or communism.

I agree instinctively, is there a reason why this is the case?

It is natural conclusion of orientalization with cultural hegemony of West that the orientalized will adopt the orientalist perspectives. This is especially true for arbitrary and inauthentic attempts at culture like Saudi monarchy does with its pseudo-revivalism.

Writing scripts have a tendency to shape the languages that are used by them, this is even true for the spoken language in low literacy societies in past. Even if English could not be written well enough with Chinese script now if it was used for a while it would be influenced by it as more of its rules would diffuse to the language and conventions or new meanings would develop. If anything the fact that there are similar features in languages as different as Chinese and Japanese or Arabic and Persian is all the proof one needs one could see this happen in just a few generations in English and Chinese which are similar in many ways despite the different language families.

Luck is the only stat that matters New Vegas can’t believe people would play with less than 7.

It’s very strange to me to see how people now seem to be using death of author to completely disconnect the artist from their work in terms of culpability or consequence. I used to never see it as anything but meaning of a work is not beholden to author intent, whether due to author intent being unknown or the meaning transcending author’s own intent or even it betraying the author.

I didn’t even know there were other places connected to this I came here because it’s an extraordinarily welcoming leftist space that is fun to browse.

It’s another symptom of alienation. People try to reclaim agency by acting out against what seems to fall out of control of industry and media. America is an urban, developed society so things like raw milk and meat only diets seem both authentic and transgressive. There is a certain level of glamour to these things because they are out of sight for most almost all their life, even if they buy their raw milk in a carton and their meat prepackaged in a grocery store.
