Life isn't fair in so many ways. If I was one of the women swimmers in that contest where they had a transgender competing, I would have gotten out of the pool and refused to swim

Default Be the best that you are but stay the Way You are

That's my motto but if you want to be the way you are aren't then you shouldn't be allowed to compete. I have personally nothing against you for whatever you are, just don't try to unfairly have an advantage over me

Companies should stay out of politics. Pandering to a small group of radicals (whatever the issue) will cost them profits.

Get woke, go broke.

One day when you have some time read a book about economics or even learn something about how capitalism works.

And what is stopping you from buying whatever you desire.

But throwing away perfectly good clothing/gear is basically cutting off your nose to spite your face. You already paid for it. You can't undo that.

I don't wear Nike or Adidas stuff because I'm not into sports-branded clothing. But I really don't give a flying furt if their advertisements have men, women, transgender, black, white, disabled, poor, wealthy, Muslim, Baptist, or whatever else. They want everyone to buy their stuff. And so, they're marketing to everyone.

Unless you feel that transgender people shouldn't be allowed to buy Nike and Adidas clothing? Because if that's the case, it sounds more like a "you" problem.
Nah, it really becomes “it’s” problem when a man, who now thinks he should be sporting boobs and a vagina, goes into the bathroom with my granddaughter; it won’t be pretty.

I am not threatening to go shopping with anyone to monitor what they buy. Also did you understand the “ while we are still a free country “ comment? Enjoy it while you can

You experts are so certain in your ignorance and intolerance. The genders are not as simple as you wish or your church may have taught you. It is very complex and the exceptions to your wrongheaded wisdom prove the fallacy of your beliefs.

Of course you would support forcing teachers not to teach the truth about gender identity because telling children the truth would threaten your so tightly held beliefs. There is every color of the rainbow in human expression and experience of sexuality and gender.

And any corporation that understands how the emerging picture of the complexity of gender must be boycotted. Cancel culture I believe is the term the thought police use on TV
The complexity is in the nature of what can go wrong, the possibilities of maladjustments , biological, phycological are of course endless. The reason for the genetic differences, male/female has been shown to offer great advantages as has been shown by many millions of years of evolution, and clearly those differences have a profound, pervasive effect that can not be wished away. It is not hate or intolerance to state a fact

Thank you! If everyone would do this, we could send a strong message. I’ll add Adidias to my extensive boycott list.
