I understand the biological concerns,all about transgender women who have undergone puberty being biologically stronger and faster than cisgender women.However, that's a solvable issue that's possible to remedy.

First of all,a trans athlete should be able to present medical evidence that they have been in gender affirming care and has been medically transitioning for at least 4 years.This prevents cis men from self identifying as trans and faking a transition to take advantage of the policy.

We live in an age of science, programming and machine learning.If we can account for the height of prostheses,or the microfiber in a swimsuit to ensure it doesn't give a swimmer an unfair advantage ,or the height and energy return of a running shoe,we can DEFINITELY account for the advantage a trans woman has due to male puberty,by adequately penalizing the athlete e.g.adding 5 seconds to their completed 100m sprint.(My point: SPORTS CAN AND SHOULD ADAPT WITH THE HELP OF TECHNOLOGY TO ACCOMMODATE TRANS ATHLETES)

By adequately penalizing trans athletes to reflect this advantage and having constants that account for muscle mass,bone density and limb height;we can certainly allow them to compete.And besides,the nature of sports is inherently unfair.There are cis women who have greater lung capacity and heart size e.t.c. and no one complains about them.

Transphobic people and conservatives blow the issue out of proportion just to open fire on not only trans women,but women in general due to patriarchal values and misogyny, because:

(1)It's easy ammo against the transgender community,and it unfairly pits trans women against cis women

(2) Women's sports are a male dominated field.While the players are women,the coaches,trainers and referees are mostly men.The biggest problems women in sports face isn't trans athletes,it's sexual abuse and assault from male coaches.

(3)From 3,if people really cared about women's sports,they would be pushing for punishment of men who sexually assault women in sports,not punishing a group that barely participates to do the lip service of "helping women".

(3)Fewer than 10 trans women compete in a year's worth of sports,so not that many trans athletes are playing in the first place.

Honest question,asked in humility and good faith.

Kama ni juu ya Christianity or religion,Kuna Bible interpretations that allow you to recognize the authority of Scripture and accommodate same sex relationships.

If you hold an ingrained hatred for lesbians/gay people/trans people,I would sincerely love to know why.

(Saying that "I'm okay with gay people,bora they don't do it in public".... "Movies zimejaa gays na lesbians,what happened to straight couples"..."Nachukia watu who make being gay their whole thing"...or "I love them,I don't like what they do ama I hate their sin" is homophobia.Regardless of what you think)

Furthermore,a lot of men feel wanaogopa when gay people hit on them at work or in school and say that they have a crush on them.No one is looking to SA you when they say they crush on you.We weren't creeping on you or spying on you.I lost a roommate when I came out cause he thought I was secretly checking him out)

As a gay man,it's riskier for me to crush on someone cause I have higher chances of being killed by my partner,or to face institutional violence

Homophobia comes from sexism cause of the fear of "effeminizing" a man,when gay people are just as masculine and have complete personalities outside their sexualities.

I would love a discussion on this.

EDIT:Gay people and lesbians don't just "have sex".We fall in love too like straight people do all the time and just wanna go out for dates and lunch and kiss in public without hostility.

Title.

First of all,I see lots of gay men from Kisumu,Baringo,Mombasa e.t.c. post on here.So the name is inaccurate

Second,it's classist AF.It assumes only Nairobi homosexuals have something to say when all gays,from all of Kenya,have meaningful perspectives to contribute to the wider discussion.Kenyan gays need to be united tukiaddress Kenyan marriage equality, internalized homophobia and violence against gay people.

Inacreate a tiered system where Nairobi is first,then the rest of Kenya follows,and this perspective that Nairobians are "cooler" and more intelligent than everyone

Gay Kenya 🙂

Catholics cherry-pick the science that supports their religious claims but ignore the science that refutes their claims. An example is on the topics of homosexuality and abortion.

On abortion,they support the science. I'm not aware of a single Bible verse that declares that "human life begins at fertilization". In fact, the Bible associates life with first breath (Genesis 2:7,the flood narrative). As far as I'm aware,the Catholic Church and evangelical opposition on abortion comes from modern embryology which says that "Human life and development begins at fertilization. At the moment of fertilization a distinct human organism with formed with unique DNA". This is used to prove that human beings exist at fertilization and murder is wrong.

But on homosexuality, they deny the science that says that being homosexual or trans is a natural variation of human sexuality. They stick to verses from 2000 years ago that clearly AREN'T talking about homosexuality, which clearly denies science from cognitive development experts, neurosurgeons e.t.c. that say that homosexuality is natural while suppression leads to higher rates of depression.

The Catholic Church needs to choose whether it is PRO SCIENCE OR ANTI SCIENCE?

PRO SCIENCE: Support homosexuality, condemn abortion

ANTI SCIENCE: Support abortion, condemn homosexuality

FIRST AND FOREMOST,if it's a genuinely disabled person or an elderly person,I think ANYONE,NOT JUST A CHILD,should give up their seat.It's crappy behavior to be seated when someone is having trouble standing.

I'm talking about younger and healthier adults,like millennials,Gen-Z and younger boomers.If it's a bus,a subway, bench e.t.c,and a child has occupied a seat,YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR SEAT BECAUSE THEY ARE YOUNGER THAN YOU.If they choose to give up their seat to you,you should be grateful, just like you would if anyone else gave up their seat.

Adults are busier and more tired,but kids go through a lot.You see an innocent child?They may be a victim of child abuse, bullying,or come from a stressful home or school environment.They aren't just dolls for your convenience.Its a social construct that sees children as objects for convenience instead of individual people with individual personalities.(for example, would you ask a student who is reading a book to stand?)

And besides,lots of adults also aren't getting enough exercise cause of long sitting periods at office work e.t.c...Standing would be beneficial for them too.Finally,it would encourage humility where everyone is treated with moral worth and dignity regardless of their age,and the old can learn from the young,and vice versa

Kenyan women,how many of y'all are pro-free the nipple?

There is a double standard of how male and female tits and nipples are seen in society.IT'S THE SAME NIPPLE.

Why do women have to cover up their nipples with uncomfortable bras but it's perfectly fine for men to be shirtless and have exposed nipples?Vitu zingine pia ni social constructs na outdated decency standards.

It also includes capturing and shaming women for nip-slips e.t.c.

All nipples are equal,male and female.Tuzi-treat as such.

It's blatant selfishness and misdirected male pride.Let me explain.Cause mbona u-shame mtu cause anaraise mtoto si wake?

First of all,the mtoto ni innocent. I love children.I have a present and loving father.Every child deserves loving parents who nurture, mentor and care about them.THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF A CHILD'S CONCEPTION DON'T MATTER.That child did nothing wrong to deserve to be punished by being denied a loving parent.

The woman/man cheated, DIRECT YOUR ANGER AT THE CHEATER...NOT AT THE INNOCENT CHILD CONCEIVED IN THE CHEATING.

Sexual assault/r*pe is deeply tragic on women and those women who have undergone SA deserve justice and love.It's very brave to give birth to and raise a child conceived in assault.All children,even the ones conceived out of wedlock ,are children still.Wanahitaji love and support.

Alafu refusing to date single mothers cause they have kids hutaki...single mothers wanakuanga the most resilient and passionate women huku nje.

It's insanely selfish to deny love and parenting to a child in the name of "sio sperm yangu" ama "mimi sio babake".A real man si ule wa "I can't raise cum that isn't mine".Real masculinity is nurturing and fair.

The anger is valid,but it should be directed at the right person,and not an innocent child.
