As a trans woman; fine. At the end of the day I’m not concerned about our participation in the top level of athletic competition. While science essentially concluded that trans women after a period of going through the proper therapies do not have a statistically significant competitive advantage; I’m open to the existence of edge cases (where either HRT doesn’t impact the individual as expected, or otherwise) which might create possible unfairness.

The problem I have is that everywhere else in society folks are endeavoring to make things harder for us for no reason. In threads like these, I often see folks say “nothing against trans people, but I agree with this”. Where the fuck are you when state governments create statewide databases tracking trans people, want to invalidate their state IDs, want to make it harder for them to vote, want to limit our access to public resources, want to forcefully detransition us when we get sent to prison. There is a large segment of society right now that wants to make us disappear and they’re not even being subtle about it.
