Subject: Just a transphobic bigot then ?
In reply to: Not a hopeless panel 's message, "Paula Woodgate another fair one. ONLY judge at 2023 southern US regional who scored boy in girl comp rightfully lower." on 10/12/24 17:10:28, Tue

So they marked down based on fact dancer was a male at birth ? Now female and competed in a female category?
NOT judges job to enforce the criteria if he organisers have put a dancer in stage to dance then the judges ONLY job is to judge the dancing. Their opinions on anything else are irrelevant / so clearly this judge just makes up their own rules and isn’t ‘ fair’

This is exactly the problem. If they don’t score him high they are called a transphobic bigot so then they inflate his scores to appear “woke” and he wins. (NT) -- That’s cool., 11/12/24 2:41:01, Wed
- But this dancer scored high before transitioning. Why would their dancing get worse? If a dancer is WMH level as a male, I would expect them to be at a similar level as a female. (NT) -- ., 11/12/24 3:34:59, Wed
  - Isn't the slipjig supposed to be elegant, graceful, and feminine? What were they looking at? (NT) -- Overly aggressive and masculine imho., 11/12/24 4:40:53, Wed
    - Could say this about 95% of slip jigs danced today. (NT) -- Bb, 11/12/24 12:11:33, Wed
    - She danced reel in 2023. It was Slip Jig this year and she didn't win that round. She's very beatable. (NT) -- this isn't swimming, 12/12/24 11:20:01, Thu
      - She won in 2023 and retained her title this year. She is obviously very good (NT) -- X, 21/12/24 14:50:46, Sat
- No that’s not he issue -- You don’t make sense, 11/12/24 20:45:34, Wed
  - Is that not exactly what DID happen in this post? The judge that scored him lower was just called a transphobic bigot. (NT) -- Proof positive, 16/12/24 13:41:00, Mon
    - I don't understand the arguments against this dancer. One one hand, people say anyone born male automatically has huge advantages, but on the other, people say this dancer didn't deserve high marks. (NT) -- Which is it?, 16/12/24 21:40:35, Mon
      - Watch and decide for yourself (NT) -- …, 16/12/24 23:57:34, Mon
This dancer did a reel last year and the consensus was that it was rough and jerky but still executed well. Hard shoe much better. (NT) -- Clearly not top 10 in reel, 11/12/24 5:22:09, Wed
