The same reactionary wingnuts who used to fret a lot about hormones and sports have abruptly pivoted. Not long ago, figures like Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr. were hell-bent on keeping testosterone, the elixir of their gods, in its gendered lane. Now they want athletes of all sexes to surge with male hormones. They’ve become pro-doping.

Thus the Enhanced Games (yep, that’s the name), nominally a steroids-addled sports event but in fact a eugenics experiment venture-capitalized with max virility by Thiel and Don Jr… For extra manly pow, the event’s CEO is Aron D’Souza, a Thiel pal who spearheaded Thiel’s crusade against Gawker Media for the crime of press freedoms.

      I mean, the female beauty standard seems to imply that.

      • Flat chest
      • Straight hips (no curves in general)
      • Recently they want women with a strong jaw and a butt-chin

      Like… I’m sorry but what they want seems like a man…

          Mostly on social networks, like ig or fb, and the miss universe and shit like that.

          Weirdly enough… When I had my account on dbzer0, most of the posts coming from lemmynsfw were flat-chested women, when I moved to .cafe it became the opposite and here on Piefed.ca I rarely see post from lemmynsfw for some reason.

      Its almost like transphobia is just sexism with extra steps.

      These are the sorta guys who think: If they’re not hot enough to fuck or my bro they hold no value as a human
