I don’t understand why people are complaining about a women’s world cup player being trans
It’s still a biological female, playing against other biological females, which is completley fair? Why does gender matter? I don’t think trans females should compete in female sports due to the physical advantages - it’s not fair on biological females. But there’s no difference here?
Also, imagine if this was a biological man coming out as trans. Would we start persuading them to go be a female footballer? No, since we know that’s unfair on females.
This whole incident just shows in sports that instead of having some acceptance of trans people in sports, we whine and complain saying they’re in the wrong category.

socialism has been proven to not work, literally every single time. it has always led to tyranny. (go look at this list for proof, is any of these countries somewhere where you want to live? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_socialist_states#Current_socialist_states)
the main problem is that the work of dividing up everything has to be done by some central party, which is (so far) always selfish (because humans are by default). you need a central government for it to work, which always turns bad, due to the flaws in humans. and there’s also the lack of incentive to work.
in the end, capitalism isn’t great but it’s the only system we’ve got that works.
this is simply not true. firstly, you can see this article for some socialist countries that have succeeded:

try watching the entire video i sent @dertermenter (it debunks many of the arguments you just made)
Nordic countries aren’t actually socialist. They have advanced free markets, and all but norway have very strong commitments to private ownership. they do have welfare though, so i would actually describe them as both capitalist and socialist.
did you watch the video? it literally explains every question you’ve asked me so far lol
but the reason those countries have such high qualities of life is because of the socialist aspects of their society, not because of their capitalist aspects. Also, what does private ownership have to do with anything? Do you mean shared control of the means of production? Because the only thing that’s not private in socialism is that it advocates for collectives, or companies run by the workers, the laborers, rather than a few rich billionaires who are imposing an artificial hierarchy, while underpaying employees who are the ones actually doing the labor (working in the factories, etc.) Individuals and families can still have private property under socialism, and its not egalitarianism.
The video also brings up many points, including that Socialism is actually based on capitalism. Also, no completely capitalist society has ever been successful (without many Socialist systems, countries like the USA and UK would be terrible to live in).
