Transphobes love stupid fake anecdotes about trans women, especially sports.
"I know a guy who knows a guy whose cousin's roommate knows a trans woman who can bend steel bars with her bare hands and murdered all the cis women on her soccer team and then went on to win three world championships all by herself."
Yeah, sure you do.
"The trans woman didn't have to work out or train or anything! It's not fair for cis women to compete with murderous Kryptonian super-beings because of their innate biological advantages!"
Like, my dude, I can barely stand up and walk, okay?
I'm doing good to lift my purse.
You have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
When trans women are allowed to compete as women, they overwhelmingly lose to cis women. That's a fact.
But everybody has an anecdote.
Everybody knows a guy who knows a guy. Fucking jokers.
Yeah, there are a few successful trans women athletes but they don't win everything and they don't win all the time.
There are cis women athletes who can beat the pants off of cis men. That's just the nature of competition and the spectrum of human athletic ability.
And it's fine. It's good even.
@12thRITS @gwynnion Have they stopped, or are you just not seeing it around you? There are places where people who *currently* support Trump are in charge.
And since the only thing on the GOP platform is bigotry... I think it's safe to assume it's still a widespread problem, whether you're in a good place yourself or no.
