A record 191 openly LGBTQ+ athletes are competing in the 2024 Olympics - Lemmy.World

A record number of athletes openly identifying as LGBTQ+ are competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics, a massive leap during a competition that organizers have pushed to center around inclusion and diversity. There are 191 athletes publicly saying they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and nonbinary who are participating in the Games, according to Outsports, an organization that compiles a database of openly queer Olympians. The vast majority of the athletes are women. That number has quashed the previous record of 186 out athletes counted at the COVID-19-delayed Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, and the count is only expected to grow at future Olympics. “More and more people are coming out,” said Jim Buzinski, co-founder of Outsports. “They realize it’s important to be visible because there’s no other way to get representation.”

The moment a single trans athlete wins top 3 in their sport, expect every troll to suddenly become an expert biologist. But they don’t actually give a single fuck when trans athletes lose.

I have a very real problem with any guy ever competing in a woman’s sport. It’s a hard line that should never be crossed. Your biological sex at birth is quite valid, there is no discussion on this topic in the realm of sanity.

This is the line that most sane people also draw, and if you think otherwise you need to get off the Internet.

This crowd is heavy with animal fuckers

You got any evidence to back up that ridiculous claim? Because it seems that you’re just trying to slander people who disagree with you.

Have you tried blocking the one single instance that’s probably coming from?

Or even just using your homepage?

Get over yourself you jumped up twat. I don’t have to provide you with evidence for anything. I understand how the fediverse works.

There are plenty of fucked up little scrotes on here with weird as fuck fetishes and I dont care to see it in my feed. I already block entire instances, communities and anyone who posts fucking weird porn cartoons or political american shit or any other shit I think is retarded. I dont give a shit whatever sordid shit turns you on. I dont need to know about it. Its not all on one instance, or one user and I’m forever filtering it out…

Someone sounds upset.

If you make a claim in an attempt to discredit a whole platform of people, don’t be surprised when someone asks you to provide evidence.

Fun fact: you can add certain communities to your feed and only view those.

Sounds like a problem with the instance you picked then. I do not have this issue, and you clearly haven’t heard of an NSFW toggle. That or it doesn’t work.

Nobody cares if you don’t care about other things on the internet. It does not belong to you, you don’t get to go on an angry tirade when there are things you don’t like.

You’re an insufferable patronising pest aren’t you. You’re confident for someone who is wrong
