You could literally put Dwayne The Rock Johnson on a middle school girls soccer team and hand me a fistful of cash to act like I gave a shit about it and I wouldn't be able to.

If someone put Dwayne The Rock Johnson on a middle school girls' soccer team, I think I would be curious about why no matter how stupid the reason. That would be a wild thing to happen.

If it was a movie I’d just think it’s yet another boring shitty movie made to get some already wealthy producers and Hollywood executives another vacation home.

Instead of 'Air Bud' -> 'Ground Rock'

It's supposed to be commentary on trans in sports or something.

I would not be surprised if those middle school girls play better soccer than him. His amount of muscle mass is terrible for athleticism, which is why there are no professional soccer players that are muscular

Basically the plot of the movie Big Momma's House (2000) or Mr Nanny (1993)

Wait til you hear about Junior (1994) starring Arnold Swarzenegger.

I would care as in I'd love to watch the match. Outside of that I don't give a fuck who plays what sport or what they have in their pants.

They're saying that they care so little about whether trans girls are playing sports with other girls that you couldn't pay them to give a shit even if a giant cis man was on the team.

The Disney movie would be great

I'm not sure if this is a commentary on trans rights or bad movies.

And this only says something about you, not about girls' soccer team or Rock.

What is the point of this post, exactly? Feeling special today?

But this shatters my delusion of manly men being objectively superior to every other human!

Ohhhh, now i get it. I was on the same ride for random weird shit.

But for reals hyperbolic much? The rock in a team with other middle school boys would still be as much out of place. That's not a gender thing.

It's really easy to not care when it doesn't involve you in any way shape or form. So, what is it you're trying to say?

That you dont want to watch football with the rock vs school girls? Ok, good for you i guess?

I mean I would. Can't imagine the situation outside of some comedy setup though.

I get what you're saying, and to a degree I agree with it.

It's not that I don't care, it's that I don't want to care. I don't want to care about what genders people (in general) go by, and would rather be polite to individuals I come across by referring to them the way they ask (in the same way I refer to people who go by a shortened name or their middle name). I have not cared about high school girls sports and won't until my daughter reaches high school... or rather, I have wanted not to. It's a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of the population, and I want their existence to not register with me until I come across them organically (e.g. a trans girl on my daughter's cross country team). I want to not know about neo-pronouns without either taking a gender studies class or meeting someone who uses them (which I have yet to in 43 years). Or if there is a trans character or one who uses neo-pronouns in a game that just is that without that being their whole character (e.g. Krem from Dragon Age Inquisition). I want those people to just exist in the world without me giving any more concern to their sense of identity or whatever as any other of the 10 billion people on the planet I don't know and don't give a shit about except they are humans and I want them to be well.

I WANT to not care, but I'm not being let to because people feel the need to pick on them, make laws against them existing, or deny them equal opportunities for spurious reasons. And every time a conservative type complains about everything trans related and having to deal with pronouns and everything else, I'm like "it's because of you! You're doing this! I wouldn't have to be concerned with them beyond knowing they exist if it weren't for you!"

I don't want to sound callous, because I do care about how LGBTQ+ people are treated. And I wish I didn't because they just existed without me having to care.

Edit: I also think people are misunderstanding your point. Like I said, I never cared about girls high school sports, so when some conservative speaking against trans girls on girls soccer teams offering some hyperbole of The Rock (or comparable AMAB player) on a girls soccer team to suggest the supposed absurdity of having a trans girl on the team, you couldn't pay me to care (about that argument). Even if it were to be the case, which it never, ever, ever is.

Thank you for this generous-minded clarification.

I thought they were insulting the Rock’s soccer skills.

I'm sure that movie has already been made. Maybe it starred Vin Diesel rather than Rock "The Dwayne" Johnson?

I assume they hate the panic around trans women on women's sports teams

What on earth?

Why do you care about Dwayne Johnson so much? I treat him and his products like naval lint.
