    Male Trinity student comes second in women's race

    “I registered online and clicked a box saying I was female. When I came to collect my race number from the Trinity Sports Centre, the lady there said “So you’re male?” as she went to make an adjustment to her spreadsheet. In a slightly triggered tone I said “No, I am female”, and that solved the matter.

    “Seeing as it was a once off I don’t think Trinity Sport would risk incurring the wrath of the woke in their very heartland.”


    Brilliant!

    Its the hypocrisy of the social left that really grates.

    If Trump does something, its always spun in a negative manner by the MSM or the wokists.
    If a Democrat or Trump hater does the same thing its spun in a positive manner.

    Trump charged with impeachment for inciting a riot whilst numerous Democrats fail to condemn BLM riots that caused 2bn worth of damage, and the deaths of over 30 people.
    Certain Democrats made incendiary remarks, but thats ok, they were peaceful protests you see.
    If Trump says those things its inciting a riot though.
    His supporters are terrorists whilst the BLM thugs are peaceful protesters.

    Nancy Pelosi getting her hair done.
    Just the other day she fined 2 Republicans for the exact same thing she was guilty of .
    https://nypost.com/2021/02/06/gop-wants-pelosi-fined-for-ignoring-metal-detector-rule-in-capitol/


    I could go on and on, the hypocrisy is widespread.
    Biden calling for unity now when his party have been stoking the fires of division for the last 4 years and saying that the 74m people that voted for Trump need to be reprogrammed.

    How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

    Is the New York Post not an “MSM” publication? I can’t fail to notice that many of those who complain interminably about the MSM don’t mind believing it when it’s to their benefit. You can’t have it both ways. Do you distrust the MSM or don’t you?

    Except they don't.

    Every movement has an enemy. Someone they can point to, and say these people (or whatever) don't fit in, aren't acceptable or work against us. There's always an enemy. For feminism, it was (is) men. For the woke crowd, its anyone who doesn't agree with them, although men are still the preferred enemy.

    The point being that equality under the woke system is selective. It's for everyone.. except those who don't fall into line with their beliefs. There a host of broken careers who have fallen foul to the woke agenda.. those who didn't agree, and those who didn't agree fast enough, or simply those who were needed as an example for what happens to those who don't fall into line.

    Equality as a realistic aim is dead. Feminism doesn't want it. BLM certainly don't want it. And neither do the woke movements. Nor do most government agencies. (The UN and other organisations are firmly focused on feminist ambitions and don't spare much attention for boys/men around the world)

    He will be dismissed as a bad actor acting in Bad Faith.

    The article mentions he is involved with the Irish Freedom Party so the woke and Media will focus on that.

    The point being that equality under the woke system is selective.

    What is equality exactly? Does it mean equal opportunity or does it mean equal outcome regardless of ability, work ethic, life choice etc?

    If the latter then you are creating a destructive and inefficient system that is inherently unfair and unjust.

    It should be equality of opportunity.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    I turned around to my 20 year old son when we were walking through Dunnes stores the other day.

    I said son are you woke ?

    He looked at me and laughed, then said the woke crowd are angry unpopular and nobody really cares.

    Imagine if we had the WOKE culture in school in the 90's ?

    But I think that wokeness shoite is losing traction and the next generation of kids are starting to get interested in reality rather than identity politics etc

    My nephew and his friends leave their phones at home because they have an excuse to be home late and be out of touch with their parents.

    If they want to watch something on YouTube they can do that in the evening time, there's more interesting things to do in the woods and down by the river..

    Thank fck, kid's are getting back to normality and not reading and listening to propaganda on the internet..

    All this wokeness and liberal lefty ****e has ruined a few generations, kids and teenagers are getting bombarded with so much shoite these days.

    Identity politics and liberals can go way out of it...go on now piss off with your victimisation and get some therapy or create a band draw a picture or build a campfire somewhere...

    Woke ffs

    Kids will generally reject what the establishment imposes on them, the real kicker for the left is they can't accept that they are now establishment, they're not fighting the maaan anymore.

    The real funny thing is I know women in their 20s and 30s now who are too embarrased to call themsevles feminists anymore :o

    I wonder if I could identify as female for 20 minutes after a women's soccer match and go shower with the ladies?

    Who's to tell me I can't?

    Imagine this has been brought up already but I reckon stuff like this is more likely to attract a mix of ridicule, laughter and incredulity towards those promoting it and trans people by extension even though I highly suspect many of them would be embarrassed at things like this. I don't see how these things do any favours to anyone.

    Just skimmed through an article in the Guardian today relating the ways in which Darwin was not really advanced enough in his thinking when it came to race or the differences in sexes. Umm.. surely this surprises no one? Dude was born in the time of wooden cars? Never read any classical anthropology?

    I saw something similar written on Berkley recently where it was being argued that the university should dispense with the great philosopher's name as he is said at one time to have purchased slaves. And this in spite of the fact that all historical references indicate that he provided a remarkably modern and proto-egalitarian voice on the subject. Let those who are 100% pure in mind and body present themselves to the jury of time.

    It’s a sad state of affairs if folks are that far up their own backside that they value their opinion over biological fact.

    Sure maybe we should wokenly cancel nature as well. Humans are a mammal and that comes with a few undeniable facts; one of them is that the female of the species has mammary glands that produce milk to feed the offspring.

    As they should be.
    I see the common thread of victim-claiming among the woke and "anti-woke" unfortunately. The "anti-woke" claim to acknowledge that we're not all equal/the same yet complain when that plays out. When it comes to Jews there was a concerted effort to wipe them out less than a century ago, nations across an entire continent turned their backs (and far worse even aside from the Germans) on them and were prepared to allow a culture present in Europe longer than Christianity to be completely erased.
    So yeah, Jews are more protected than women and anyone who has a problem with that can either **** off or grow up.

    As for Carano, she was generally being an arsehole. She was likely warned but continued on. Fair enough, her choice. Posting conspiracies (ticking the boxes for the pandemic and the election) is a nonsense and the comparing poor little Republicans to the Jews who were destroyed in their millions less than a century ago is a pathetic. Anyone who doesn't (or pretends to not) see the issue with her tweets can also **** off.

    And here is a perfect example of Wokeness

    Didn’t a bunch a Asian students take legal action against Harvard because they were quota’d out of the admissions process?

    Asians numbers were limited artificially because they did too well as a race.

    Edit: read the judgement, holy moly.
    The judge said that because Asians are discriminated against due to their race that proves they weren’t in this case because otherwise the university would have given them a leg up!
    So basically the judge ruled that Harvard are not racist because they are woke. What a judge!

    The racism experienced by Asians is very high in the US.

    According to the left:

    Asians and whites are valid targets of racism in America.
    Jews and whites are valid targets of racism in Europe.

    A bit of a "Master Race Complex" just because the went to Harvard.
