Really. Too many people - Republicans and TERFs - are trying to act like this is some sort of major issue, and an army of Juwanna Manns are trying to take over sports. But that's not the case, considering that trans athletes are a small minority of athletes.

Of course, the real issue here is daring to live while trans. That is a major, major issue to the QOP and QERFs. They want to scream about trans athletes dominating, even though there is one mere example. They want to scream about trans athletes taking over and taking spots, even though they honestly may be 1-2% of those participating in sports.

If not a single trans person wanted to be in sports? They'd find something else to unleash their inner Nazi over. Public restrooms? Being out in public dressed and presenting as their chosen gender? Taking hormones as a teen? Taking hormones as an adult? Breathing while trans?

They don't make a difference, except to the fascists who are furious that trans people exist. This is just the newest issue for them to have a snowflake meltdown over.

All of this transgender hysteria in sports. PoindexterOglethorpe Mar 2022 #1
