Good luck to all the #RollerDerby players in #Manchester today for the #TransRights fundraising games!

I swung by earlier to drop off some cake for the officials, and some flyers for https://scrim.social/ the derby-themed #PixelFed instance I help to run.

It was lovely to run into @inabox and see some other friendly faces during my brief visit!

"And let's start by acknowledging many people do have good-faith questions about this, even if they're asking them a little clumsily."

Anti-Trans Activists Now Claim Women Have An Advantage At Darts
Victoria Monaghan became the first trans woman to ever compete in the WDF World Darts Championship. Despite losing in the first round, anti-trans activists claimed she had a "biological advantage."

From the very smart Dave Zirin on the Facebook:

Here's a thought: the debate about trans women and non-binary folks in sports always starts in the wrong place. It always begins with an assumed accepted supposition: that this whole "problem" was started by the assertion of trans women to find space to be athletes. That's not how we should be thinking about this. The root cause of this conflict is not the existence of trans women. It's the fact that we impose a strict gender binary on sports in the first place. A gender binary in an increasingly gender fluid world simply will not work. What we really suffer from - other than the wall of anti-trans bigotry that prevents serious discussion about these issues - is a crisis of imagination: of reinventing sports to fit a changing world instead of cruelly marginalizing people who don't fit in a box created in the 19th century.
