Yeah, speaking of history, there's no shortage of people who have been treated like shit and oppressed for millenia. They're called 'women'. I think it's pathetic that after all the work they did, some fake wannabes glommed onto the women's movement thereby negating everything women have worked for up to this point.
You don't think it has? Look at sports. Sadly women's sports don't get taken as seriously as men's sports by the general public at large, with some exceptions. Yet now they now have to contend for spots on teams with people who are NOT biological females. Which means that for every she-male who makes a women's team, there's a biological female who got aced out of the spot. Yep, thank goodness women worked so hard for so long just so some dude who thinks he's a female can replace them.
Why not sports for the gender fluid? We could have men's sports, women's sports and "whatever the hell you wanna call yourself" sports.
Transphobic sports bullcrap goes to a few places.
1. Incorrect standards and diagnosis of trans women as per ignorance to the set standards.
2. Stats... we'll hear all about these terrible wins, oddly transphobes never bring up the trans women's actual record...now before we get guffaws and well he sucks stuff bear in mind she's playing by set standards.
3. Shock stories and pictures, the most dedicated transphobes like TERFs built whole whatabboutism files and picture collection of trans women athletes at their worst, or most jarring pics all for shock but when you look at them what do you get? 30-40 cases half are never winners or medalling and half are retired.
4. We get Fallon Foxed... Transphobes adore that Tamika Brents was beaten and bloodied my Fallon Fox because "he's a brutal man" When in the actual in real life facts Brents by pre-fight stats was taller, heavier, had reach on her and could outbench Fallon who was long since post op. What actually happened? Brents literally ran her mouth in MMA vs a seasoned ex-naval fighter....that's it.
5. Medical fallacies... Transphobes will insist every time there's mechanical advantage but actual sports and transition based medicine shows that trans women lose muscle mass, strength and tissue as well as bone density after the required times on HRC to put them at or below some of the standards on non-trans women.
And then there's the TERF faves of Heart and Lung size that the IOC tossed out as any differences mimiced regional differences in people like runners from Kenya ect.
My fave is their excuse on socialization that women aren't as competative as men thus trans women have an advantage.
All this, all of this and even more ignorant we face all the time.
And it's effing funny because people act like it's a pandemic of trans women in sports. What it really is? Hmmm let's see by trans population surveys trans folks for the entire umbrella are 0.5% That's anyone who volunteered the surveys.
Trans women are about 0.2% Just under half.
So 1 in 500 people.
Then minus out those that aren't transitioned yet.
Those that are stealth.
Then those that aren't interested or can't play these sports.
You have a nano-pool of folks ALL of which still have to make the set standards.
