    I found out that there are actually two trans athletes and one non-binary athlete in these games. The non-binary athlete is an alternate for the USA BMX team (I believe AFAB and is on the women’s team).

    A trans male boxer was actually in the female boxing contest. He lost his first bout and was eliminated.

    A trans woman (THE ACTUAL THING THESE DUMBASS TERFS ARE TRYING TO TARGET) was in the women’s weightlifting contest. She failed to complete her first lift and was eliminated.

    See, especially that last one would be someone it would make sense to get up in arms about (from their perspective and their framing on the issue), but she actually didn’t perform well. Turns out, this entire problem is made up and there are no trans athletes using their “Advantage” to dominate sports like this grifters claim.

    Instead, we are just harassing women…bc their pee had a little to much testosterone for the liking one sports body that the IOC doesn’t recognize. And in the case of Khelif, I think its quite a bit of racism as well that helped it take off

      These people literally get pissy when a trans woman makes 14th place in a fucking disc golf tournament. It’s just pure trans- and interphobia (and in cases like this, plain misogyny and racism), none of these brainrotten losers has ever given the tiniest fuck about “fairness in women’s sports”.
