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 I think one part that some miss here is also the racism that is apart of this because if I'm not mistaken this boxer is a person of color and historically women of color who are strong and fit get accused of being men and this fall right alongside of the transphobia as well. So this could general bigotry that's touching on both racism and transphobia
