Global(ist) Fake News "fact checks" Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s claims about biological sex being real. "The scientific literature disagrees, even with the existence of high-profile cases." (archive.is)

Smith suggested a trans athlete has “advantages” over their cisgender counterparts.

Clownworld gonna clownworld. And even when the point is legitimate, it's poorly phrased, due to the corruption of language. No, "trans athletes" do not have advantages over regular athletes. Specifically, males have advantage over females. That's the heart of the issue, but so few people will come out and say it.

“There are obvious biological realities that give transgender female athletes a massive competitive advantage over women and girls,” Smith said Wednesday.

As I said with the corruption of language...the fuck is a transgender female? Female is sex, a trans female would be a woman pretending to be a man, at least that's how it sounds to me. Again, what it comes down to is men shouldn't be competing in women's sports. And language is currently retarded.

And, yeah, I'm nitpicking, but the perversion of language pisses me off. Danielle Smith seems to mostly be coming at this with good intent, and is pissing off some of the right people, but the fact that language has got so warped it's impossible for some people to say things clearly or correctly is monumentally frustrating.

Also, this should go without saying, but Experts™ can all fuck off, especially on this topic.

Cool, fact check the fact checker and show how utterly pointless such things are, then.

  • There's no freedom of speech in Canada. You can be convicted of "hate speech" for slurs against trannies.

  • There's no academic freedom in Canada - It's illegal for a medical professional to be against "gender-affirming care."

  • There's barely any academic freedom in the western world. You can't publish something that goes against the accepted narrative or that "harms marginalized groups" which is where so-called trans people have been categorized. (See "hate speech" above)

  • The replication crisis alone is enough to ignore social sciences, predictive sciences, anything in the "soft science" category not easily falsifiable with hard evidence or mathematical proofs. Only the most terminal redditors take life instructions from scientific literature.

  • Do they think anyone would believe any news reporter to have actually conducted a full-scale literature review and presented a meta-analysis to support their politics story, rather than just cherry-picking the studies that supported their report? Actually I can accept this one. Most people believe "science says" things and those things are "settled science" until "the science evolved" and then "science now says" new thing. Most people will assume "They consulted the experts!"

  • Fact-checking is a fake and gay job.

Everyone still buying this shit are hopeless and willing slaves. I despise them more than the elites who run clown world.

It's not scientific, but of course that's meaningless now.

Nice of them to admit outright how useless 'scientific literature' is. There were still some holdouts who needed convincing.
