I’m honestly shaken at the number of infosec people, particularly women, who are endorsing and spouting Russian transphobic misinformation about Olympic athletes with added hateful TERF rhetoric. In public, right in front of queer and trans peers. Some I used to consider friends. We all see all of it. It’s absolute hell for trans community members. We need to be calling this crap out for what it is.

@hacks4pancakes Agreed 100%. I’m appalled at the hatred I see.

@wendynather they are outing themselves and it’s awful. Imagine your definition of a “real woman” being so narrow it doesn’t even include a person with female genitalia who was raised, lives, and identifies as a woman in an anti queer country, based on a dubious genetic debate from an untrustworthy source.

@hacks4pancakes @wendynather this specific case is really shaping up to show exactly how absurdly some people have chosen to twist their "rules".

@hacks4pancakes @phpete @wendynather sometimes I wonder if that's by convenience, ignorance, ideology or malicious intent, but then I realize I'm spending a bit too much time and energy trying to understand the mind of an asshole

@wilbr @hacks4pancakes @wendynather and generally, an asshole who won't be responding to a logical argument anyway.

I too often fail to avoid the "but I'd really like to understand where the fuck you're coming from" time suck, but that's really all it is - a complete waste of time.

@phpete @hacks4pancakes @wendynather I shared this comic on Instagram today and one of my friends from the Bible Belt responded and thanked me for it. Earlier she had shared something saying that the boxer was trans and this cleared up some misconceptions she had, and gave me an opportunity to clear up a few other common myths. It definitely gives me a little hope that some people care, but maybe get bad information.

@wilbr @phpete @hacks4pancakes @wendynather Did she give consent to be the poster girl for trans and intersex? Stop causing more damage.
