Just in case being called transphobic doesn’t bother you, you’re also a racist. Right?

Because nobody ever questioned the gender of lily white “female” Soviet bloc Olympic competitors? Of course, the average reader probably wasn’t even born then, so knows nothing of those controversies.

this has been going on for decades..there is a high jumper who claimed he was forced to live as a woman for the Nazis but others dispute it saying she was born with a genetic problem.

there was also a runner that had issues way back when.

IIRC, there were comedies that incorporated, for cheap laughs, scenes that portrayed white Soviet bloc “female” athletes with prominent bulges at the crotch.

i love this graphic.

I have a very rare disorder that can be seen in Skulls dug up in Argentina from holocene era but I think about 11000 years ago. Yet, it wasn’t discovered by modern medicine until the 1930s even though a doctor in 1652 described it. And even today , I keep hearing over and over “I’ve never heard of it. Let me look it up”.

This mess with the biology of male boxers is going to have to go through social wokedom as all try not to inflame the sensitive.

It’s the reverse. Tr* nies, inters$x et al. are more likely to advance if they are POC, because they can play the race card.

XY chromosome - male

Anyone who believes otherwise is mentally ill.
