2024 Paris Summer Olympics

I'm not going to fight with you, if that's how you see it, your emotions are valid. Drag Queens are actually getting quite popular and are on day time TV (Drag Race is on MTV for instance) and youtube.

At least you are not one of those who think it was a parody of the last supper be mad at the French who are making a mockery of your greek heritage

and do you think this is normal?

 

[wera]

and do you think this is normal?

Yes, it's just entertainment. I do wonder what horrible deeds Drag Queens are doing to the world except making some people uncomfortable? The whole point of Drag Race is to promote acceptance, love and talent. Same with the show that does renovations - Queer Eye? Are Drag Queens weirdos? Sure, I think most of them would even claim that word as a positive thing. I'll just say this - the bigger the outrage, the stronger their community becomes. The outrage gives them attention that wouldn't be there if some people wouldn't make a big deal out of them. I think having 60% viewership of straight women helps in this regard, because gay people and straight women have been having alliances for a few centuries now.

I'm sure I can name a lot of horrible things that some [redacted] church did in the name of God or what US/Japan Army did in the last 200 years that Drag Queens can't compare at all

So. Let's. Not. Go. Into. This. Everybody would get banned. Drag queens are not going anywhere, I'm pretty sure about that.

 

[ADRossi]

Correct. Let's not get into this. Stick to the sporting events. Next post about anything other than sporting competition is getting an infraction. @wera you know better.

 

[Il Drago]

Let's not go into this after making a big ass post about it seems hypocritical to me in the least.

 

[Kenny]

Let's not go into this

I answered what he asked.

The What I do not want to get into part is really how some other groups compare to Drag Queens, because the debate can last for weeks. Whoever wants to talk about it, send me a private message.

I read that this Olympic is also poorly organised as well.

 

[crzdcolombian]

so not trying to be funny or political or anything but are trans athletes allowed by other countries? In the US a few were sueing to get in to the olympic teams. I think the whole event is BS any way. No way China, Japan, US, and Russia have the best athletes in 97% of every sport out there.

I think if a woman is good enough to play with men she should be able to. Not the other way around tho. Not to say hey I can beat every woman at every sport. Since that is their argument most the time. It's just someone who is bigger, stronger and faster has an insane advantage at almost everything.

In the US the women always say they can beat the US mens team because they were rated #1 and the US was rated #10 haha. They got more WCs and trophies

same argument Mexico makes to say they are as good as Argentina and Brazil and the real #3 of the American region

 

[ADRossi]

Good win over Australia today for SGA and the crew.

In what sense?

The police was overwhelmed by the poor planning of the river banks on the Opening ceremony, but apart from that, it feels like everything is smooth.

Ticketing process was a bit awkward and you don't really know what you're getting till you get there (in the temporary arenas that is, for everything else there's google), but apart from that it feels like a great event all over.

Just waiting for Stade de France events of course before getting all pumped up, since that could end up being a debacle.

Canoe event wasn't even in Paris...

Also, London is nice and dandy but when their transportation strikes hit, the whole thing just stops working.
Whereas in Paris, sure, an inconvenience, but there are more ways to go about it

 

[ADRossi]

So the Canadian women get docked 6 points for spying on their opponents, and still end up qualifying because they won every group game.

Now they're effectively unpunished. It really feels like they should have just been sent home.

Algerian boxer wins bout amid eligibility row as rival abandons

Chad move to force your testosterone down to beat up women

 

[Darth_Ausilio]

A reminder gentlemen, discussions of a political nature are not allowed here. I understand there are plenty of other websites out there if you are interested in trannies.

 

[Lui]

It's not political, it's sociocultural.

I think this is one thing where the whole of FIF is on the same side. WTF is this
