I dont think most people understand that the episode has nothing to do with trans people
It really annoys me how none of the discussion surrounding the episode talks about PC Principal when he is literally the A plot. Instead the conversation is about trans athletes which is the B plot
Because the Macho Man Randy Savage as a trans athlete was the funniest goddamn thing ever. That's all
The fact that the show is hilarious never seems to get talked about. It's usually everyone bickering about whose interpretation of the social commentary is correct.
This is just wrong. PC Principal and the trans athletes are the A plot. The B plot is the board games.
Well it does, it's just not the only topic
Why does this sub keep upvoting these idiotic ‘ACKSHUALLY, THEY’RE NOT MAKING FUN OF THAT THING’ comments. You guys and your mental gymnastics are crazy at this point.
Yup. The episode is clearly about shitty male athletes who went trans “because they’re women,” but then miraculously wind up dominating women’s sports.
Maybe the episode is also about cool board games, and how immature boys don’t read instructions…?
No. Not really. Because throughout the entire episode they had maybe one scene about a fake trans athletes dominating women. That gets hyperfixated on.
While an entire plot and ending that gets conveniently overlooked where the board girls demonstrate they are able to put Heather Swanson and Cartman in their place in the girls only activity.

Like who?
This sub went full PC unfortunately, welcome to 2023.
Bc Reddit is left of center so they deny any point SP makes about that viewpoint
There are tons of right wing echo chambers on Reddit. You don’t need to cry just because this sub isn’t one.
I think you're undercutting just how left they are, most normal people are just left of center, reddit is like, so left they've spun around full circle and gone total idiot.
love this response. thank you for describing exactly the way i feel abt this
They’re the smart ones who get the hidden deep meaning behind every episode but don’t seem to understand why the PC Principal character exists in the first place.
Maybe they should do an episode where instead of resorting to violence PC Principal just tells everyone he’s smarter than them and on a higher plane of existence.
The creators have said for years they’re making fun of both sides. When they make fun of something, they’re making fun of it. It’s not that deep.
Oh? What does this episode have to do with, then?
this is called "gaslighting," this particular form is denying the obvious reality.
Nuh uh
lol. cogent counterpoint.
I think the problem is they didn’t make their point clear enough. Maybe add an actual trans athlete who actually disagrees with Heather.
Exactly, they didn’t explain what their message was enough so everyone just sees it as a chance to say a bunch of shit that has nothing to do with it

So, for me this episode is about difficulties in discussion some hot social topics in today's world.
Idk why you were downvoted. You aren’t wrong.
Welcome to reddit.
That, and the specific difficult conversation that needs to be had about trans women competing against cis women in organized athletics.
I think this episode is about how trans women shouldn't compete in women's sports, and how ridiculous self-id is.
This episode was so funny lol. One of my favorites for sure
It's like the flavor of Dr pepper.
It's neither root beer, nor cola. Nobody knows what it is, those who say they do, don't. Because it's both, and more.
This isn't a black and white issue, it's difficult to approach this in a way that doesn't immediately throw you into one side or the other. Pandering is literally indulging someone, often to get what you want. They were able to execute that in excellent fashion. If you took anything away from the episode as being one-sided, you need to rewatch the episode.
Well said!
One of the last stellar 10/10 episodes they produced.
Rising to the top
Push it to the edge
Give it all you got
Barely break a sweat
Strong Woman!
Strong Woman!
Strong!
This episode was hilarious.
Love when she gives her school presentation, WANG out
ya to me that was one of there worst episode and showed they didn't have much knowledge on the subject they where talking about
Ok, so I actually found this episode funny. But my idea is that the woman on the right is an actual trans woman athlete that isn't pretending unlike Heather here.
That was always an idea I hope they used.
