So, I’ve had moments in the past where I might have spent 30 seconds thinking about this subject but ultimately I don’t give a fuck about competitive sports so my analysis usually ends up being, all competitive sports should be banned because competitive sports are dumb. Which is admittedly a neanderthal take.

But yeah, now the global athletic showdown is going down and seemingly everyone in my immediate vicinity keeps clutching their pearls and I guess I’m sick of not being able to advocate for trans comrades appropriately and articulate a proper response.

So what’s a better response besides, “who cares?” Am I missing something? Like, if all things were equitable, what would or should competitions look like?

Help me out. I honestly have no idea.

    Fencing is not a popular sport worldwide when compared to soccer and basketball. The people OP is talking to are going to be responding to the recent news articles of people who’ve been through male puberty dominating female cycling competitions among others, not to studies.
