The medical school developed a new drug a few days ago, and they needed a few young athletes in the college team for clinical tests. Jess, the team captain of the women's soccer team, applied for being a candidate and got selected.

The test procedure was confidential before the medical lab could release it. In the introduction information, it said the test would be painless and quick. The student candidates were arranged into separate rooms for the test.

Jess entered the room designated by a few students in the medical school. A medical exam bed had been placed there, together with a few other medical devices that were used for routine exams. She was rather familiar with this kind of scene because she had many routine pre-game medical exams with her teammates.

As required by the medical students, she lay flat on the medical bed. The first step was to inject some anaesthetics into her body. The needle went into her elbow vein. She was put to sleep within ten seconds. Then she slept deeply.

Then it should the time to test the drug on her body. The students pushed the left side of her sports bra aside, exposing that well-shaped, solid left boob. Using a slim surgical knife, the nipple on it was unrooted and opened as a lid. The medical students insert the small pill containing the drug into the wound beneath Jess's left nipple and pushed it deep into her left boob.

After cleaning the blood flew from her left boob, the students stitched her left nipple back onto the boob. The pill was melting inside that athletic boob. As the drug in the pill flew into her beating heart, she suffered a series of mild cardiac arrest until her heart stopped beating forever.

When the students couldn't see her chest and abs heaving, they out the bell of a stethoscope somewhere below her left boob. There was no heartbeat. Then, they removed her runners and socks to check her feet. As the bottom of her feet appears pale, the students confirmed Jess's death and the efficacy of the drug.

Together with other sporty girls and boys in other medical rooms, Jess was then transferred to the sports medical centre on the campus. There, they would be stripped off and washed by the student volunteers. Their dead bodies would be stored in freezers for another week before being secretly sealed in special coffins.

"Should trans women be allowed to compete in women's sports" I don't think there should be women's sports. I think it's a silly artificial construction that only upholds the gender binary while it's benefits are incidental and would be better addressed directly.

Care about giving people with different body types and muscle mass a shot? Split your league by weight categories like boxing, or some other direct physical measurement. Gender is at best a poor proxy for these and we only do it because we still treat women are a different species. "But that still wouldn't be fully fair to everyone?" Sport isn't fully fair, it's about rewarding people with the most biological advantage. That's the whole point of it.

You want to give more sporting opportunity to women and minorities specifically? Okay then do that. Create your own opportunities league, but if we're giving up the pretense that it's about essential biological advantage then you better let trans women in.

What's that, the extra league would be treated as a novelty afterthought and would lack the prestige of the real main event? You mean like how women's events were treated when they were introduced? True! In fact women's leagues are still largely treated as secondary now, and you know how we can fix it? Make the main leagues open to everyone with weight, height or muscle mass categories so that people with different body types can excel. Like I suggested before. Problem solved.

Women's sport is bad actually.

Discussing Sportswear in Saudi Arabia as A Growing Market for Health and Wellness

Sportswear has evolved into a global industry worth billions of dollars, transcending its utilitarian purpose to become a fashion statement and a symbol of an active lifestyle. Saudi Arabia, a nation with a rich sporting heritage, is no exception to this trend. In recent years, sportswear has seen a remarkable surge in popularity within the Kingdom, driven by both cultural and economic factors. This article explores the thriving sportswear market in Saudi Arabia, highlighting the cultural significance of sport, market trends, and the future of athletic fashion in the country.

The Cultural Significance of Sports

Sports has always played a vital role in Saudi Arabian culture. From traditional activities like horse racing, falconry, and camel racing to modern sports like football and motor racing, Saudis have a deep-rooted passion for physical activity. This cultural importance of sports has spilled over into the clothing industry, contributing to the increasing popularity of sportswear.

One of the primary reasons for the growth of the sportswear market in Saudi Arabia is the promotion of sports and physical fitness by the government. Initiatives like Vision 2030 have encouraged people to lead healthier lives and take up sports. This has translated into a demand for sportswear that is both comfortable and stylish, suitable for various activities.

Market Trends in Saudi Arabian Sportswear

Modesty Meets Performance: One unique aspect of sportswear in Saudi Arabia is the emphasis on modesty. Local brands and international companies have adapted their designs to cater to the cultural preferences of the population. These sportswear items cover more skin and are often designed with looser fits, making them suitable for Saudi consumers who prefer modest clothing.

Influences from Global Brands: International sportswear giants like Nike, Adidas, and Puma have established a strong presence in the Saudi market. These brands offer a wide range of products, from running shoes to training apparel. In addition to well-known brands, local manufacturers have emerged, creating sportswear tailored to the specific needs of Saudi customers.

Sportswear Beyond the Gym: Sportswear in Saudi Arabia is not just limited to gym sessions or sporting events. People often wear sporty attire for casual outings and social occasions, blending fashion with functionality. This has led to the rise of athleisure, a style that combines sportswear with everyday clothing.

E-commerce Growth: The proliferation of e-commerce platforms has played a significant role in the surge of sportswear sales. Consumers can conveniently browse and purchase sportswear items online, often with delivery options tailored to their preferences.

The Future of Sportswear in Saudi Arabia

As Saudi Arabia continues to promote sports and active lifestyles, the sportswear market is expected to flourish further in the coming years. Several factors will likely shape the future of sportswear in the Kingdom:

Sustainability: Environmental concerns are increasingly influencing consumer choices. The sportswear industry in Saudi Arabia is likely to see a surge in eco-friendly and sustainable sportswear options, as people become more conscious of their ecological footprint.

Customization: Personalized sportswear, tailored to individual preferences and needs, is a trend that is expected to gain traction. Customers may have the opportunity to design their sportswear, from color and fabric to performance features.

Integration of Technology: Sportswear that incorporates advanced technology to monitor physical activity, track health metrics, or enhance performance is anticipated to gain popularity. Smart fabrics, wearables, and biometric sensors will become more commonplace in sportswear.

Cultural and Regional Influences: Local designs and cultural influences will continue to play a significant role in sportswear trends. Brands that successfully incorporate Saudi Arabian aesthetics and preferences into their designs are likely to thrive.

Conclusion

Sportswear in Saudi Arabia has transcended its functional purpose to become a symbol of an active and healthy lifestyle. Fueled by cultural significance and government initiatives, the sportswear market is thriving. As the industry continues to evolve, trends such as modest designs, the influence of international brands, and the rise of athleisure are likely to persist. Moreover, sustainability, customization, and technology integration will shape the future of sportswear in the Kingdom, ensuring that it remains a key component of Saudi Arabia's growing emphasis on sports and wellness.

women's sports is one of the loudest and most successful anti-patriarchy campaigns in human history. what women's sports did and does is prove, over and over again, the excellence, the raw power and strength of the human woman. it completely disrupts ideas on gender.

you have big, powerful women in rugby. fast, endurable women runners. impeccably strong gymnasts. women with strong, large bodies that take up space. that are HEALTHY. they are not RESTRICTED or ladylike. they are free of the stillness/deadness that femininity demands. no corsets. no (aesthetic) thinness. no hourglass bodies for gawking. women's sports screams to society "we are fully human, not objects, not small men. we are not domestic dolls. we are hunters and foragers. fighters."

why do you think men are so vitriolic about it? why don't they want women in football? why don't they want it televized? why do they keep harassing female basketball players? why do they insist on dressing women in sexualized uniforms? why do they now make it taboo to exculde men from women's sports?

i firmly believe it's because women's sports tears patriarchal gender ideology apart so effortlessly. it completely spits in the face of patriarchal political propaganda and shows how null it is. it forces all of us to view women as full, as the beginning of human excellence, as central to human history. not as decorative sexual objects, no matter how men want us to be.

that's why there's so much aggression and derision when it comes to women's sports from men. because women's sports destroys the idea of femininity and depicts women as non-derivative. women must be monsters and cannot afford to play into the childlikeness that femininity demands. the arena of sports forces us to focus on women's physical performance rather than appearance. their strength rather than how attractive they are. their skill and strategy. their humanity. it is a form of entertainment where all female roles are agentive and active rather than passive.

women's sports events are also hotbeds for female and lgb solidarity like you have no idea!

y'all need to start watching women's sports. not only because it is exciting, but it deprograms the patriarchal bullshit out of you so fast. you realize how much is possible. how much we can all achieve right now.
