When I was younger I was very pro-free-speech, then around age 20 or so I became woke. Then I got cancelled and it snapped me out of it. It turned my whole world upside down.

There’s no guarantee of free-speech in the US except from our government. (even that has restrictions) You aren’t guaranteed free speech on internet platforms, nor are you shielded from the effects of what you have said. Was there a certain statement that got you cancelled or was it a number of things?
@nothingplanet Basically I agree with the radical feminist viewpoint that women face unique challenges on the basis of their sex, not gender identity.
@realcaseyrollins @nothingplanet Being a guy in a dress has basically negligible consequences. Women face issues because they're physically weaker than us and because they have wombs (the ability to make babies, which is something we consider a commodity).
Women spend hours putting on makeup and wearing sexualized clothing like high heels because they are positioned as lowly people in society. Makeup is oppressive. Imagine if men wore makeup. Imagine that everyone around you does it, and if you don't you're a freak. You have to literally paint your face, and it takes up to 2 hours every morning. It's no wonder women get paid less, they have to do a great job on top of a rigorous morning routine to make sure they look beautiful.
Would you like to wear makeup every day? I'm guessing not. So why would a man choose to wear makeup every day? This is really just an example, but there are 100 different ways people identify as trans, I don't even know where to begin deconstructing them all.
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins Just discovered this site that compares the performance between teenage boys and adult women athletes, and the results are mostly binary http://boysvswomen.com
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins @alex What's unfair about it? Honest question.
@mewmew @realcaseyrollins @alex in terms of strength and athletic prowess men are just better. There are obviously women stronger and faster than most men, but there is a clear difference in averages, and the best women just can't compete with the best men. That's why you can look at records for teenage males and still be ahead of the adult females.

Thats only partly true, it depends on the sport. There are some sports where women consistently out perform men, others where the reverse is true. Can't whitewash the reality and the nuance.
Open-water long distance swimming and archery are the two I know of off hand where women dominate and have held world records that exceeded men in recent history (and in fact in both those categories women hold more records than men last I looked it up)
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @mewmew @alex
Ultra-endurance sports are the one type of sport where women are sometimes competitive.
When you're talking about sports like archery, that's a red herring in the context of a discussion about strength. Archery isn't about strength, it's about hand-eye coordination, muscle memory, practice, technique, etc. So of course women have the opportunity to be competitive there.
You didnt say just strength, you said strength AND atheletic prowess.
What I've shown is two things.. one the "athletic prowess part" is obviously flat out wrong. As for strength women are superior when it comes to endurance-type strength and men are superior when it comes to deadlifting and immediate power delivery.
Neither is overall superior in sports, as I said they have different types of strengths they are each superior in.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @mewmew @alex If I say "scientists agree that climate change is real", the substance of that claim isn't invalidated by the fact that "only" ~95% of scientists tend to agree with that claim in surveys.
I don't think you've shown that it's "flat-out wrong", I believe what you've shown is that the statement about "athletic prowess" is only true for the vast majority of sports, and you believe because it's not true for *all* sports, you can say it's "flat-out wrong".
Men will dominate in any competition that relies on explosive strength and speed. As the length of the competition increases, the gap between sexes decreases. In a few ultra-endurance events, women can be competitive with men.
Also LOL that you cited a debunked fact in an attempt to make a counter argument. LOL dude doesnt help your case in the least. But I'm not even going to get into that with you, but dont think I didnt notice it, LOL.
