Apropos of nothing, never forget that it’s often better to just block TERFs and transphobes than to engage with them.
The cisgender-centred power around this story ignored the background of why this happened and the immense, traumatic impact on the trans community. I am only aware of one media organization that interviewed a person from the local trans community. And we must ask ourselves the question, would the outrage have been the same if the girl had been trans?
Unfortunately, the answer is no.
The answer is no because a lot of people feel like having transwomen in a women competition is not fair. That said, it wouldn’t matter in this case because this is 9-10 byears old sport event.
This whole article is baiting major outrage because a man decided to be an asshole. This kind of article is the reason why so many people are a less and less sympathetic to LGBTQ stuff.
Why is someone described as having an irrational fear if they do not support anything trans? It’s a linguistic question. How does someone being against something labelled an irrational fear?
So harassing 10 year old kids is rational?
Are you talking removed that support rape of babies and children for their own sexual gratification?
Eh, go crawl back under your bridge, troll. Loaded question. I’m assuming you realize the presumption in your question is at best unsupported from the way you phrased it.
But to give your question more thought that it deserves, I’m talking about adults harassing 10 year olds at a school track meet because they don’t approve of their looks. Read The “Fine” Article.
For anyone else reading this, the man accused of confronting the child disputes that claim. He says he only asked an official if the event was co-ed. The matter is being investigated. No need for pitchforks. I think everyone except a confrontational minority (as the commenter I’m replying to) recognizes that randos confronting children at ostensibly fun school events is not great.
“Linguistic question” sure. I don’t see anyone arguing that hydrophobic things aren’t actually terrified of water. You know what it means.
