I was initially kind of on the fence and there isn’t really a study/data set because the sample size is too small but here’s what I’ve noticed as a consistent pattern: Every once in a while there will be a huge amount of publicity surrounding a trans woman athlete making waves in some sport here or there and everyone will cry foul…then at some point there will be a pretty severe loss or defeat that everyone sort of quietly under reports and that everyone pretends never happened. I can’t remember her name but there was some MMA transwoman who was causing a lot of controversy who got absolutely wrecked by a cis competitor like 2-3 years ago.

On the surface I actually get the knee jerk concern but the simple fact of the matter is that the transwomen athletes who are competing in various sports simply aren’t dominating it to the degree transphobes seem to think they automatically must be…so yeah…let them compete.

This. The whole point of the narrative is that men are naturally stronger than women, so a trans woman getting trounced by a cis woman doesn’t get nearly the coverage as the reverse… because these people don’t see trans women as women in the first place

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
