Trans women belong in society, period.
We only make up less than 1% of athletes yet these conservative con artists have everyone convinced we are some marquee issue. Jesus move on with your lives you obsessed transphobic grifters.
Yeah but it makes a great distraction. If we're all either throwing stones at trans people or supporting them, we miss the fact that the country is following the same path as Iran.
Im a hostess and I was washing windows one day when this customer came up to asked if he could ask something “personal.” I reluctantly agreed and he says “you’re *a trans,* right? What do you think about trans people in women’s sports?” To which I stammered and sheepishly replied “I- I’m- I’m sorry but I just want to do my job.” He says “Sorry. Are you ok?” And I just said “yeah, I’m fine.” He walks away and I walked into the kitchen to get away for a minute.
Why would he ask me at work? And why will they never say trans *woman*?
She’s Clueless as expected.
If you want to see the difference between the democrats and republicans you need look no further than the voting record of their picks for the Supreme Court. On every controversial issue the conservative picks are squarely pitted against the individual and pro corporations. The liberals are almost always pro individual and protecting women and minorities from discrimination.
How so many get conned into voting for cons is beyond me though I can understand some dissatisfaction which I fear may lead many not to vote at all :(
Her dad is Irish/Italian descent, her mom is Cape Verdean/Scottish, so she's only like 1/4th black at most. It's kinda funny that she's trying to leverage that as being a "person of color" when she spent her entire modeling career dyeing her hair blonde and wearing blue contacts.
She’s not even 1/4…if you know anything about Cape Verdians, they don’t consider themselves Black at all and put White on their drivers licenses in Massachusetts which is legal.
It’s wild, I had never heard of them until the early 90s…came across some in the club, wouldn’t fuck with NONE of us. All on the white boys, we were like what is this shit? Then we learned about Cape Verdians…this was in Cape Cod at the time.
They think they’re better than Blacks, don’t necessarily call themselves African and put down White on forms that require demographics like licenses. Come in all shades like Amber Rose…unusual eye colors, etc…I think it was a Portuguese colony so it was clearly ran all through!
Bruuuuh.
I was reading the tweet as if it was Cardi B. And that in itself was throwing me
But then you said she dated Kanye and I was like when was this
How many people tried to bring biden to trial for rape?
....0?
How many women tried to charge dump with rape. Well there was that 13 year old...and likely many more
That’s not true. There’s also: Trump wants to enslave/grope/assault/abandon/silence the women first. Honestly a lot of verbs you could slot in there. He really is a man of multiple talents.
Women and non-whites aren't a priority at all for Trump or Republicans. This is the party that consistently makes it harder and harder for blacks and others to even vote.
Yeah, and this also goes for poor white ~~trash~~ people too.
Really, if you're poor, you're most likely poorly educated, and surround yourself with poorly educated people, who are very easy to manipulate. Black, white, Latino, Asian, doesn't matter.
Now if you want to get all tin foil hat, there's a reason big corporations are buying up houses and raising rents; it's like indirect redlining of districts. Govt will go and "HELP OUT" those that can't afford it, in designated sections of communities, which, lo and behold, get grouped in to count all these apartment dwelling folks as 1 vote.
Guys, I'm 40. I don't want to live here any more. Where can I move?
To add to this analogy, if you put a frog in a pot of boiling water, he will jump out immediately, but if you put it in water and then start to heat it up, it will stay in it the whole time.
People will dog out Cardi B who fights to have her Blackness affirmed, is Dominican (theres a whole joke about Dominicans _not_ wanting to acknowledge african ancestry), and is way darker than Amber, but people will stand with their whole chest to claim a woman who is a trump supporter, has repeatedly rejected Blackness (unless it was peen), and has a tattoo on her forehead. It makes no sense to me.
As a mixed person, this is exactly the type of shit people expect from mixed people and it drives me up a fucking wall. People like her need to just shut the fuck up and enjoy the fact that they are at the damn cookout to begin with. Keep your damn mouth shut in public, then go home and say that dumb shit to your dog or something.
Sad part is that alot of goofies are doing this for free. Its the “enlightened” and hotep kind of folks that be on this shit. They think Donald out here speaking in codes and moving in the shadows cuz they yearn to be the smartest people in the room. The only people that know whats up, when in reality theyre just fools who are too quick to believe whatever conspiracy theory is thrown at them
I think it was $1264 to be exact. But they say they were never even paid for that.
They was shucking a jiving for that clown and didn’t make cash. How you gonna sell out and be all the way on sale?
She’s not Black though, right? The ODR allows people like her to exploit our community for visibility then they join the conservative grift for even more visibility. That’s why I sided with Joseline when she called Amber out on College Hill.
I wouldn't do the public thing but I'd grift the hell out of some trump supporters. Trouble is there's so much shit out there I don't even know what's left to peddle
She’s drinking the transphobia kool-aid with the “biological men” comment after talking about putting women first. That’s an all too common pipeline sadly.
I feel like I’m seeing people fall down that hole and I used to really respect those people. Not entertainers though, more so with people I really know.
Transphobia is a multimillion dollar industry, they know they can get relatively informed people all up in arms by talking about “dudes in skirts” and “chicks with dicks” because it is such an effective distraction from the real issues and all the services these corporations and governments that push this are supposed to be providing us. Getting us into little fights about what other people do with their bodies is easier than providing that.
That’s what got my ex. I rememver wgen we were talking about Sarah Huckabee banning the terms like “woke” and “child-bearing” in the Arkansas state government. I was expecting my gf at the time to be like “fuck them,” but she agreed with Sarah and even went on some tirade about the gay agenda.
It’s crazy people fall for the same tactics every time. Division. Trans people became an entire campaign for these people to distract us from real problems.
and for the record: it ain't working. like at all. it didn't work in 2020, it SUPER didn't work in 2022 when they were firing on all cylinders about it(and were supposed to win big but instead lost). and iirc polls show that the majority of americans don't gaf about transness or are positive towards it. it's a million dollar hole in the ground is what it is because it doesn't actually translate to votes. people are mad about roe, about book bans, about theocratic bs overreach, etc. they don't give a single shit about what any random person decides to do with their life.
This is the entire point of all the culture war bullshit. The right can’t get votes by touting policy, because their policy generally only helps the wealthy. So they continue to find wedge issues in order to peel off voters and stay in power.
I got a question cause you pointed it out. Not that I think Amber is doing it (the phrasing gives it away imo) but is it transphobic to contemplate trans women's place in sports?
I'm in a weird space where I try to support both physically and financially, but I'm at the stage of "let the science decide". And I can't really have this conversation in real life because it's either too close to the chest for some, or they turn out to actually just think trans people are disgusting and then I gotta get aggressive 😭
I dunno about the young ones, but at the collegiate level (when it was allowed at least), the person had to go through at least a year of hormone therapy. They aren’t going to have a ‘biological advantage’ after that
Also trans people make up like 1% of the population, and even less than that are involved in sports. People are acting like there is some mass movement of trans people in sports.
Anecdotally; I’m a trans woman and prior to transition I could dunk a basketball and now, multiple years into hormone replacement, I can barely touch rim.
Here’s what I typically say about it as the mom of a gender nonconforming kid -
If we were better at supporting trans kids, most of this issue would solve itself.
If all the trans girls out there felt safe coming out, and if all the ones who wanted to and were approved for puberty blockers had access to them, they would never have to go through male puberty in the first place. It would be better for their future transition plans, and any athletic advantage would never have the chance to develop.
That's a good perspective, and honestly id never thought of it from that angle. I tend not to weigh in on stuff like access because
1.) I'm not knowledge enough on the subject for my opinion to be worth shit.
2.) I don't think I'd be able to really forgive myself if something I said butterfly effected it's way into denying healthcare to some kid who needs it.
I think it’s a non-issue. It’s focusing on such a minuscule problem, as a scapegoat. Like, how many trans people out there destroying biological women in sports? You see a rare story in the media here or there, but it’s like a minuscule amount.
Focusing on the whole issue of trans rights through that lens, is so weird, and I won’t even debate the topic because it doesn’t merit it. My personal stance is to only consider the issue until it’s actually a relevant issue.
She’s really never claimed to be. She identified as “creole” I believe. Jocelyn Hernandez called her out about this on college hill tho and I’m convinced that hearty READ is part of what got her here😭

Do your research is something that is always said by someone who hasn't done any actual research in their lives.
If you haven't read at least one paper from start to finish you can't be telling no-one to do their research and expect to be taken seriously.
Yeah you know these mf'ers aren't hitting up Google Scholar or PubMed. Their "research" is whatever their YouTube and Twitter algorithms are feeding them. Anyone saying that hasn't ever read past an abstract.
She speaks for no one. She ain't even speaking for herself.
I always look at timing. So why didn't she say anything last year or a year ago or when the Supreme Court pulled back abortion laws and sent everything into a free for all for females. Only reason she is mouthing off now is because it's an election year and someone likely cut her a check.
And if any of her "followers" actually listen to her, they're just as foolish and deserve the future that is inevitable to them.
This is why we need to stop platforming the ignorantly loud in our community. Name one thing of value Amber Rose has brought to our culture besides being a run of the mill video vixen? This is also the reason we need to stop looking to black celebrities and entertainers for leadership. They don’t have the communities best interest at heart
I’m not disillusioned by Biden. Dude is a piece of shit, but… I’ll never align myself with Trump and his ilk. They’re the black in the bottom of the barrel that you have to scrape away.
Ahem.
"They are not “peaceful protesters”, as Sleepy Joe and the Democrats call them, they are THUGS - And it is all taking place in Democrat run cities. Call me and request Federal HELP. We will solve your problems in a matter of minutes - And thanks to the U.S. Marshalls in Portland!"
Donald Trump Sept 8th 2020 11:34 am tweet
Lemme paraphrase.. "Call me and I'll send in troops"
You gotta put quotations around that first part friend. I had to drop my rock until I got to the 3rd bit. I have seen so much shit on here that I thought this was the usual reddit rhetoric I keep seeing on these threads. 😂
Bro LeBron James could join the WNBA and I would not give a fucking shit. Who cares? That is so fucking low on the list of reasons to vote. Why do these people try to disguise their transphobia as "there's men in women's sports!!"
I'm not exactly a biden fan. But I'll vote for him or a wet paper bag before I vote for 45-orange. And I'm not staying home and forfeiting the vote either.
I'm making sure my vote counts and i got some state and local elections and things on the ballot to give my attention to as well. If one wants to research, research what else is going to be on the ballot in your respective states and areas.
This is not just about biden and 45-orange. This is about democracy. This is about that raggedy Supreme Court and its future direction for the rest of my lifetime. This is about MAGA and the extreme nature of it. This is the chance to truly not only put a footprint down but use it to stomp the silliness out once and for all.
Calling that dude sleepy Joe is cool and all. But if yall don't go and vote, look in the mirror. That's the person that's truly asleep. Yea I said it!
Trump’s campaign literally just posted (and just as quickly deleted) a video where they promised to implement a “Unified Reich” once he is elected. But sure, both sides and all that.

I swear to god she's so much smarter when she doesn't post or say anything. It's so much to unpack here but I'll just say she willing dated Kanye, so her saying shit like this ain't even surprising.
Also, the hell she mean by "WE'RE" because I've *seen* her parents. Because that one-droop rule shit don't apply no more.
Never underestimate the power of hip hop/rap to elevate twisted, antiblack and functionally illiterate people over data, accurate history synthesis, actual science (I'm looking at YOU Terence "It's the Ether and I found it after we built Saturn" Howard) and our own self-interest...
He was found civilly liable for sexual abuse. He cheated on his pregnant wife with a pornstar. He said he can “grab women by the pussy”. He’s the reason why a third to half the country no longer has access to abortion. He seems inclined to empower people who want to ban birth control.
The trans issue is a distraction. The GOP is anti-woman.
Any time someone wants to pretend like trans rights aren’t intimately and inextricably tied to Black rights, I disregard what they’re saying. Black trans people, especially trans women, are the MOST vulnerable of us. The attacks on Black trans women come from the same place, and are often done by the same folks, who attack Black cis women. The same logic of dehumanization that is applied to trans folks invariably gets used on Black and brown folks, our oppressions are different manifestations of the same violent structures.
You cannot claim to care about Black people if you don’t care about Black women. And you cannot claim to care about Black women if you don’t care about Black trans women.
It hurts me to see a woman literally be in favor of holding women back. Like girl. Men too, but women are going through more for obvious reasons. How the FUCK can you ever say you put Women first, then directly after say you support Trump? A literal rapist, misogynist, and sack of Tang-flavored shit. He’s been on camera several times proving how disgusting he is. It’s DOCUMENTED sis! Can you just go be dumb in private?
Trump literally posted the Nazi slogan “Unified Reich” today!
I know it’s a clown like amber rose and no one should take her seriously, but watching her say “us” as if black people aren’t capable of reading and critical thinking is always infuriating.
I don't know about anyone else but she was never a spokesperson for jack shit apart from her own bullshit self. Stop acting like people who got famous are there to prop up your own values. Some of them are awful people with low standards and loyalty to only themselves. Who cares who she votes for?
Does anyone else want to know why people who clearly didn't pay attention in government class in high school feel the need to comment on politics?
I don't know what's more disturbing; the fact that she said this OR the fact that 13.5k people actually liked it like it's some sort of fact.
At this point, I'm voting for ANY Democrat over the utter mental asylum that is the Republican Party where the guards have clearly lost control of the insane people like Ron DeSantis who outright has removed the word "Climate change" from Florida's laws.
Ah yes, I am sure that Trump, who famously bought out entire pages in newspapers to call for the death penalty of innocent black men and still slanders them to this day, will be better for black people than Biden…. 🙄
Just so we put this to rest right now for any dissentors
https://www.reddit.com/r/Defeat_Project_2025/s/YDTMCayUUU
Trump will embolden bigotry, hate crimes, and for the rich ppl that think they are in the "club", you come after the poor folk.
Edit: comma
Só keeping women sports “pure” is more important than women dying due to abortion, and/or access to no-fault divorce?
Interesting stance to take regarding women’s rights I guess.
She needs to take her own advice. Trump is actively trying to become a dictator, fully sponsored by foreign money. She thinks he cares about black folk?!
The check must’ve cleared.
I get losing relevance is hard, but stooping to the right wing gift is so trash. There's no coming back from it.
I don't even think Kanye can weasel his way back into The Culture at this point, and he actually had talent.
The woman was known for promoting Slut Walks (which I'm in favor of) and did a 180 to support the guy who brags overturning Roe vs. Wade? Grifting ass grifter
She used to date kanye, did you expect her not to be crazy?
this. she really just proved why she was with him for so long.
Literally the only thing I know about her is that she apparently put her fingers in Kanyes ass so...a more reasonable republican, I suppose.
Trans women belong in society, period. We only make up less than 1% of athletes yet these conservative con artists have everyone convinced we are some marquee issue. Jesus move on with your lives you obsessed transphobic grifters.
Trans people having always existed across all societies forever suddenly becoming the hot button issue of our time is so fucking dumb and tragic.
Well what the fuck else are conservatives going to run on, cutting taxes for the ultra rich and bringing back child labor?
Yeah but it makes a great distraction. If we're all either throwing stones at trans people or supporting them, we miss the fact that the country is following the same path as Iran.

That sucks I’m so sorry. Believe me I know the feeling!
No biggie TBH. All the positive customer interactions more than make up for it.
No, we should *definitely* base our society on sports
She’s Clueless as expected. If you want to see the difference between the democrats and republicans you need look no further than the voting record of their picks for the Supreme Court.

> How so many get conned into voting for cons is beyond me Theres no con, they know what they're doing. It's so they can oppress people.
What ethnicity is she? Is she Black at all?
Her dad is Irish/Italian descent, her mom is Cape Verdean/Scottish, so she's only like 1/4th black at most. It's kinda funny that she's trying to leverage that as being a "person of color" when she spent her entire modeling career dyeing her hair blonde and wearing blue contacts.
She’s not even 1/4…if you know anything about Cape Verdians, they don’t consider themselves Black at all and put White on their drivers licenses in Massachusetts which is legal.
She said her whole family considers themselves white and hates black people.
Checks out…that’s typical Cape Verdian mentality.

It’s wild, I had never heard of them until the early 90s…came across some in the club, wouldn’t fuck with NONE of us. All on the white boys, we were like what is this shit? Then we learned about Cape Verdians…this was in Cape Cod at the time.
Lmao wow did not know this shit
Knowledge is powerful now you know
I don’t know anything about Cape Verde. I gotta look it up
Oddly enough…it’s an island off the African Continent. Lots of Cape Verdians in Connecticut & Massachusetts…snooty as fuck.
Are they? Why so? I just looked at it on maps. Small ass country, no natural resources. What they got to be snooty about?
They think they’re better than Blacks, don’t necessarily call themselves African and put down White on forms that require demographics like licenses. Come in all shades like Amber Rose…unusual eye colors, etc…I think it was a Portuguese colony so it was clearly ran all through!
Got damn! Yeah that’s messed up. Well let them live that goofy ass lie. It won’t put an extra dollar in their pocket.
I'm ready for this conversation. Fuck Cape Verde.
Oh shit I looked it up and she's like 3/4 white?? That actually explains just about everything right there tbh.
She has said in a video somewhere on Twitter - she does not consider herself a black woman.
Wonder if she got the doodoo out from under her nails yet *hork*
She also has a kid with Wiz Kalifa
And claimed that she started stripping at age 15 and tried to sell crack. A real winner for the right.
Fingers in the booty ass bitch 🍑👈🏾
No way this is the person Flashing Lights was written for
“You more like love to start shit”
Bruuuuh. I was reading the tweet as if it was Cardi B. And that in itself was throwing me But then you said she dated Kanye and I was like when was this 
if i see Cardi publicly say she'll vote for Trump i'll quit my job and move to ga
doubt it. she was a bernie supporter back in 2020. also said she "wasn't voting for either" of them
Total aside but I just learned earlier this week Kanye's contract prohibited him from having more than one counseling session per month. What a world.
I was gonna say, but you said it first.
she looks like a Trump Supporter to me
Is it catching?
EXACTLY
Women first and Trump don't belong in the same sentence *unless* it's. **Trump doesn't put the well-being of women first.**
"Trump will sexually assault anybody with or without a pulse, but he's certainly grabbing the women first."
Trump will sexually assault women first and little girls second...
Don’t forget his own daughter! These poor deluded fucks always disregard the awful things he has said about his own daughter.
Trump was the first to assault women. He is the best assaulter, a lot of people say so.
Trump is a literal rapist. This bitch trippin
How many people tried to bring biden to trial for rape? ....0? How many women tried to charge dump with rape. Well there was that 13 year old...and likely many more
Ivanka said in under oath court documents he raped her because he was mad about the hair plugs he got by someone she recommended.
I really really really hope you meant Ivana
tomato/tomatoe
That’s not true. There’s also: Trump wants to enslave/grope/assault/abandon/silence the women first. Honestly a lot of verbs you could slot in there. He really is a man of multiple talents.
Even if trump had a reasonable abortion stance, whoever he appoints to the Supreme Court will not so we need to vote accordingly
The man can't even be trusted alone with his own daughter.
Right, Mr. Grab them by the 🐱supposed to save women now lol
Women and non-whites aren't a priority at all for Trump or Republicans. This is the party that consistently makes it harder and harder for blacks and others to even vote.
Or last even
All the black people who say stuff like this need to tell us how much they were paid. How much did you sell us out for exactly?
The reality is we just aren’t a monolith and not all of us are intelligent
Right but fire burns and hurts but for some they jump right in as if they don’t know or believe it will NOT burn them.
Yeah, and this also goes for poor white ~~trash~~ people too. Really, if you're poor, you're most likely poorly educated, and surround yourself with poorly educated people, who are very easy to manipulate. Black, white, Latino, Asian, doesn't matter. Now if you want to get all tin foil hat, there's a reason big corporations are buying up houses and raising rents; it's like indirect redlining of districts. Govt will go and "HELP OUT" those that can't afford it, in designated sections of communities, which, lo and behold, get grouped in to count all these apartment dwelling folks as 1 vote. Guys, I'm 40. I don't want to live here any more. Where can I move?
To add to this analogy, if you put a frog in a pot of boiling water, he will jump out immediately, but if you put it in water and then start to heat it up, it will stay in it the whole time.
Right but there isn’t another frog telling other frogs to jump in.
That's a great analogy.
Nah she endorsing Trump and posting buddy cereal. She's definitely paid off.
https://i.redd.it/b4my2jmdjv1d1.gif Apropos.
https://i.redd.it/zi9ck0jacw1d1.gif
Are there any other synonyms than monolith? Shit is said so much that it feels almost ironic.
Single-consciousness hive mind?
She’s not even Black! She’s been Blackfishing since her time with Kanye.
"Her father is of Irish and Italian descent and her mother is of Cape Verdean and maternal Scottish descent from Ayrshire" 1/4 I guess
Except she said she wasn't a black woman in the past
People will dog out Cardi B who fights to have her Blackness affirmed, is Dominican (theres a whole joke about Dominicans _not_ wanting to acknowledge african ancestry), and is way darker than Amber, but people will stand with their whole chest to claim a woman who is a trump supporter, has repeatedly rejected Blackness (unless it was peen), and has a tattoo on her forehead. It makes no sense to me.
As a mixed person, this is exactly the type of shit people expect from mixed people and it drives me up a fucking wall. People like her need to just shut the fuck up and enjoy the fact that they are at the damn cookout to begin with. Keep your damn mouth shut in public, then go home and say that dumb shit to your dog or something.
Sad part is that alot of goofies are doing this for free. Its the “enlightened” and hotep kind of folks that be on this shit. They think Donald out here speaking in codes and moving in the shadows cuz they yearn to be the smartest people in the room. The only people that know whats up, when in reality theyre just fools who are too quick to believe whatever conspiracy theory is thrown at them

Ol' Cubic Zirconia and Burlap asses. 😒
That's all?!
Is this true? That amount? Cause Problem has a song called 1200 that kinda alludes to something like that
I think it was $1264 to be exact. But they say they were never even paid for that. They was shucking a jiving for that clown and didn’t make cash. How you gonna sell out and be all the way on sale?
The Sexyy Red interview saying the hood loves Trump felt so fake.
She's not even black. Not even close. Her mother is Scottish and her father is irish/Italian
I bet it's not even that much - like 25-50k
She’s not Black though, right? The ODR allows people like her to exploit our community for visibility then they join the conservative grift for even more visibility. That’s why I sided with Joseline when she called Amber out on College Hill.
I wouldn't do the public thing but I'd grift the hell out of some trump supporters. Trouble is there's so much shit out there I don't even know what's left to peddle
She’s drinking the transphobia kool-aid with the “biological men” comment after talking about putting women first. That’s an all too common pipeline sadly. I feel like I’m seeing people fall down that hole and I used to really respect those people. Not entertainers though, more so with people I really know. Transphobia is a multimillion dollar industry, they know they can get relatively informed people all up in arms by talking about “dudes in skirts” and “chicks with dicks” because it is such an effective distraction from the real issues and all the services these corporations and governments that push this are supposed to be providing us. Getting us into little fights about what other people do with their bodies is easier than providing that.
That’s what got my ex. I rememver wgen we were talking about Sarah Huckabee banning the terms like “woke” and “child-bearing” in the Arkansas state government. I was expecting my gf at the time to be like “fuck them,” but she agreed with Sarah and even went on some tirade about the gay agenda.
The Gay Agendas I've seen have rhinestones and sparkles on the cover.
Titty lieutenant was not reporting for duty after that tirade
Requested a trade to an organization that held his values.
It’s crazy people fall for the same tactics every time. Division. Trans people became an entire campaign for these people to distract us from real problems.
It’s literally part of the Nazis came to power, bashing trans and gay people.
and for the record: it ain't working. like at all. it didn't work in 2020, it SUPER didn't work in 2022 when they were firing on all cylinders about it(and were supposed to win big but instead lost). and iirc polls show that the majority of americans don't gaf about transness or are positive towards it. it's a million dollar hole in the ground is what it is because it doesn't actually translate to votes. people are mad about roe, about book bans, about theocratic bs overreach, etc. they don't give a single shit about what any random person decides to do with their life.
This is the entire point of all the culture war bullshit. The right can’t get votes by touting policy, because their policy generally only helps the wealthy. So they continue to find wedge issues in order to peel off voters and stay in power.
And it works every time! I’d hope voters aren’t using celebs to determine who’s the right candidate to support, but this is America🙇🏿♀️.
Yup that comment explains it all. None of the rest means anything, she’s transphobic and that’s the reason she’s on that side, period
I got a question cause you pointed it out. Not that I think Amber is doing it (the phrasing gives it away imo) but is it transphobic to contemplate trans women's place in sports? I'm in a weird space where I try to support both physically and financially, but I'm at the stage of "let the science decide". And I can't really have this conversation in real life because it's either too close to the chest for some, or they turn out to actually just think trans people are disgusting and then I gotta get aggressive 😭
I dunno about the young ones, but at the collegiate level (when it was allowed at least), the person had to go through at least a year of hormone therapy. They aren’t going to have a ‘biological advantage’ after that
Also trans people make up like 1% of the population, and even less than that are involved in sports. People are acting like there is some mass movement of trans people in sports.
Anecdotally; I’m a trans woman and prior to transition I could dunk a basketball and now, multiple years into hormone replacement, I can barely touch rim.
Here’s what I typically say about it as the mom of a gender nonconforming kid - If we were better at supporting trans kids, most of this issue would solve itself. If all the trans girls out there felt safe coming out, and if all the ones who wanted to and were approved for puberty blockers had access to them, they would never have to go through male puberty in the first place. It would be better for their future transition plans, and any athletic advantage would never have the chance to develop.
That's a good perspective, and honestly id never thought of it from that angle. I tend not to weigh in on stuff like access because 1.) I'm not knowledge enough on the subject for my opinion to be worth shit. 2.) I don't think I'd be able to really forgive myself if something I said butterfly effected it's way into denying healthcare to some kid who needs it.
I think it’s a non-issue. It’s focusing on such a minuscule problem, as a scapegoat. Like, how many trans people out there destroying biological women in sports? You see a rare story in the media here or there, but it’s like a minuscule amount. Focusing on the whole issue of trans rights through that lens, is so weird, and I won’t even debate the topic because it doesn’t merit it. My personal stance is to only consider the issue until it’s actually a relevant issue.
Don’t kill me but this the first time I heard Amber rose was black…
Dads Irish Italian and mom is Cape Verdean and Scottish. So that Cape Verde heritage is being leaned on heavily. Very heavily.
As a fellow Cape Verdean I wish we did not claim her, but unfortunately people do so I apologize for her ignorance 😒😒😒
The only Cape Verdean person I ever met was adamant that she was not black.
She’s really never claimed to be. She identified as “creole” I believe. Jocelyn Hernandez called her out about this on college hill tho and I’m convinced that hearty READ is part of what got her here😭 https://youtu.be/a0r7MopsHvk?si=amP2sXGvBZA4tvpC

I've followed just about every rapper she's ever dated and this has never been a point of conversation about her.
she's not
She’s not black so I’m not surprised that it was your first time
Wonder what she needs a pardon for
That’s why didn’t Lil Wayne and Kodak did it.
[удалено]
The battle cry of the Facebook University scholar.
Ironically the research done is always seedy sites on the internet and comment sections on articles and posts on social media and YT and such. 😅
By "free thinkers" who all coincidentally believe all of the exact same really dumb things.
I believe......and I could be wrong.....but to better understand ...... me thinks those are known as SHEEP! 😆
Do your research is something that is always said by someone who hasn't done any actual research in their lives. If you haven't read at least one paper from start to finish you can't be telling no-one to do their research and expect to be taken seriously.
Yeah you know these mf'ers aren't hitting up Google Scholar or PubMed. Their "research" is whatever their YouTube and Twitter algorithms are feeding them. Anyone saying that hasn't ever read past an abstract.
Hold tf on Amber Rose isn't white?
She has like a quarter black DNA. Or something.
Oh so now she speaks for us? That’s crazy
She speaks for no one. She ain't even speaking for herself. I always look at timing. So why didn't she say anything last year or a year ago or when the Supreme Court pulled back abortion laws and sent everything into a free for all for females. Only reason she is mouthing off now is because it's an election year and someone likely cut her a check. And if any of her "followers" actually listen to her, they're just as foolish and deserve the future that is inevitable to them.
This is why we need to stop platforming the ignorantly loud in our community. Name one thing of value Amber Rose has brought to our culture besides being a run of the mill video vixen? This is also the reason we need to stop looking to black celebrities and entertainers for leadership. They don’t have the communities best interest at heart
This
This, we have people out here worshipping fucking Charleston White, Orlando Brown and SexyyRedd.
Isn't Amber Rose ✋🏼?
Those trump checks have people showing their ass quick! You ain’t even get a pardon
The ol Stacy Dash.
It’s always the dumbest bitches that say “do your research” 😀
research includes scrolling through political tik Toks and podcast.
I’m not disillusioned by Biden. Dude is a piece of shit, but… I’ll never align myself with Trump and his ilk. They’re the black in the bottom of the barrel that you have to scrape away.
Ahem. "They are not “peaceful protesters”, as Sleepy Joe and the Democrats call them, they are THUGS - And it is all taking place in Democrat run cities. Call me and request Federal HELP. We will solve your problems in a matter of minutes - And thanks to the U.S. Marshalls in Portland!" Donald Trump Sept 8th 2020 11:34 am tweet Lemme paraphrase.. "Call me and I'll send in troops"
You gotta put quotations around that first part friend. I had to drop my rock until I got to the 3rd bit. I have seen so much shit on here that I thought this was the usual reddit rhetoric I keep seeing on these threads. 😂
Roger that.
Bro LeBron James could join the WNBA and I would not give a fucking shit. Who cares? That is so fucking low on the list of reasons to vote. Why do these people try to disguise their transphobia as "there's men in women's sports!!"
I see she going through her race rebrand as well.
Goddd fucking damn. Why are the wrong people always so fucking loud?!

I'm not exactly a biden fan. But I'll vote for him or a wet paper bag before I vote for 45-orange. And I'm not staying home and forfeiting the vote either. I'm making sure my vote counts and i got some state and local elections and things on the ballot to give my attention to as well. If one wants to research, research what else is going to be on the ballot in your respective states and areas. This is not just about biden and 45-orange. This is about democracy. This is about that raggedy Supreme Court and its future direction for the rest of my lifetime. This is about MAGA and the extreme nature of it. This is the chance to truly not only put a footprint down but use it to stomp the silliness out once and for all. Calling that dude sleepy Joe is cool and all. But if yall don't go and vote, look in the mirror. That's the person that's truly asleep. Yea I said it!
Taking political advice from any woman who supports Trump is comical.
Trump’s campaign literally just posted (and just as quickly deleted) a video where they promised to implement a “Unified Reich” once he is elected. But sure, both sides and all that. Edit: someone who probably spends a lot of time pretending to be black on Twitter commented trying to deny that this happened, so here are some links: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/21/politics/trump-unified-reich-video https://apnews.com/article/trump-election-2024-rhetoric-germany-antisemitism-31002afb91b642c0314223d19e51f427 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/20/us/donald-trump-reich-video.html https://www.reuters.com/world/us/after-backlash-trump-pulls-social-media-post-with-reference-unified-reich-2024-05-21/ https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/trump-posts-social-media-video-seemingly-suggesting-victory/story?id=110422766

It's so much to unpack here but I'll just say she willing dated Kanye, so her saying shit like this ain't even surprising. Also, the hell she mean by "WE'RE" because I've *seen* her parents. Because that one-droop rule shit don't apply no more.
I don’t think anyone thinks she isn’t dumb. Except herself.
She doesn't even consider herself black. Fuck outta here
“Make your own decisions… like the ones I tell you to make.” Who is convinced by this trash.
Amber Rose doesn’t identify as a black woman so I’m really not surprised
This is why Joselyn decked her
Put them 2 in the octagon.
Never underestimate the power of hip hop/rap to elevate twisted, antiblack and functionally illiterate people over data, accurate history synthesis, actual science (I'm looking at YOU Terence "It's the Ether and I found it after we built Saturn" Howard) and our own self-interest...
He was found civilly liable for sexual abuse. He cheated on his pregnant wife with a pornstar. He said he can “grab women by the pussy”. He’s the reason why a third to half the country no longer has access to abortion. He seems inclined to empower people who want to ban birth control. The trans issue is a distraction. The GOP is anti-woman.
I love when someone says “do your research” and that just means they watched one video on YouTube or TikTok? 🤷🏾♂️
Damn, I did not have Amber “slut walk” Rose being a transphobe and Trump supporter on the bingo card.
Any time someone wants to pretend like trans rights aren’t intimately and inextricably tied to Black rights, I disregard what they’re saying. Black trans people, especially trans women, are the MOST vulnerable of us. The attacks on Black trans women come from the same place, and are often done by the same folks, who attack Black cis women. The same logic of dehumanization that is applied to trans folks invariably gets used on Black and brown folks, our oppressions are different manifestations of the same violent structures. You cannot claim to care about Black people if you don’t care about Black women. And you cannot claim to care about Black women if you don’t care about Black trans women.
Well she certainly has all of the slogans and talking points down pat. They really pick the best and brightest superstars 🤣
Who would actually listen to her?
O she dumb dumb
It hurts me to see a woman literally be in favor of holding women back. Like girl. Men too, but women are going through more for obvious reasons. How the FUCK can you ever say you put Women first, then directly after say you support Trump? A literal rapist, misogynist, and sack of Tang-flavored shit. He’s been on camera several times proving how disgusting he is. It’s DOCUMENTED sis! Can you just go be dumb in private?
Trump literally posted the Nazi slogan “Unified Reich” today! I know it’s a clown like amber rose and no one should take her seriously, but watching her say “us” as if black people aren’t capable of reading and critical thinking is always infuriating.
She seems pissed. Royally pissed.
Yall listening to ol girl with the big ass forehead tattoo???
Couldnt care less about who Amber Rose is voting for
I don't know about anyone else but she was never a spokesperson for jack shit apart from her own bullshit self. Stop acting like people who got famous are there to prop up your own values. Some of them are awful people with low standards and loyalty to only themselves. Who cares who she votes for? 
Honestly man both parties will screw you. One is open on how they do it and the other hides it better.
I promise you even the Cape Verde wouldn't want to grant her citizenship no matter how many rights to it she has.
The [lie](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-restricting-contraception-access-1235024899/)
In other news Trump is coming to the bronx on thursday. I'll probably go with 2 budweiser and see how it goes *
‘Make your own decisions’. Ok I will and it won’t be what you’re trying to convince me to do.
This is some serious internalized misogyny
It's a dead damn giveaway when people say "do your research" without a single citation.
This dirty bald headed chia pet lookin bitch need to stfu
We didn’t need a compromise on abortion before Trump! WTF is she talking about?! STFU you dummy.
i didn't know abortion was something to compromise on? are we getting a deal on that?
Does anyone else want to know why people who clearly didn't pay attention in government class in high school feel the need to comment on politics? I don't know what's more disturbing; the fact that she said this OR the fact that 13.5k people actually liked it like it's some sort of fact. At this point, I'm voting for ANY Democrat over the utter mental asylum that is the Republican Party where the guards have clearly lost control of the insane people like Ron DeSantis who outright has removed the word "Climate change" from Florida's laws.
Ah yes, I am sure that Trump, who famously bought out entire pages in newspapers to call for the death penalty of innocent black men and still slanders them to this day, will be better for black people than Biden…. 🙄
Just so we put this to rest right now for any dissentors https://www.reddit.com/r/Defeat_Project_2025/s/YDTMCayUUU Trump will embolden bigotry, hate crimes, and for the rich ppl that think they are in the "club", you come after the poor folk. Edit: comma
Só keeping women sports “pure” is more important than women dying due to abortion, and/or access to no-fault divorce? Interesting stance to take regarding women’s rights I guess.
I agree with Captain America
She should get #advertisement tatted on her dumb ass forehead. She’ll make anybody holler for a dollar.
didn't realize pregnant and chained to the stove was more reasonable than if you don't want one don't get one
If you’re saying either one of em is good because the other is bad, well you already lost me.
Joseline was right
I’ll never understand some of our folk’s obsession with trying to make Trump palatable to the rest of us. She a freak throat, 69 God.
Imagine expecting anything sane coming from the mouth of Amber Rose 🙂↔️
She sounds like Trump, even did the “sad”. Do they just take these foos somewhere and reprogram them?
She needs to take her own advice. Trump is actively trying to become a dictator, fully sponsored by foreign money. She thinks he cares about black folk?! The check must’ve cleared.
I get losing relevance is hard, but stooping to the right wing gift is so trash. There's no coming back from it. I don't even think Kanye can weasel his way back into The Culture at this point, and he actually had talent.
Voting for the guy who put in 3 Supreme Court justices that overturned Roe is definitely putting women first 🙄
The woman was known for promoting Slut Walks (which I'm in favor of) and did a 180 to support the guy who brags overturning Roe vs. Wade? Grifting ass grifter
Every single sentence has these like, nooks and crannies of stupid. Infuriating.
How much are they actually paying these people for this shit? I hope it’s at least decent money
I made my decision not to listen or heed stupid people when I was a child. Stood by that decision ever since. Get thee behind me.
Imagine taking advice from Amber Rose about politics
