JK Rowling vs Imane Khelif is the inevitable endgame of transphobia: bigots forcing cis women back into traditional white, heterosexual feminine gender roles. https://skepchick.org/2024/08/the-transphobes-are-coming-for-all-of-us/

LOL: "... the Olympics permanently banned them [i.e. IBC] last year. Theyโ€™re the first professional organization to earn that particular distinction, which is impressive considering that FIFA exists"

@rebeccawatson Seeing as this is getting some traction, I just want to plug the Norwegian FIFA congress representative in 2022: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=lise+klaveness&iax=images&ia=images

(I'll pass over her counter-part in the biathlon mafia. )

@Rebecca Watson I guess itโ€™s good people are getting in the habit of asking for sources. Now we just have to get them to check their own batshit claims before putting them out there.
@rebeccawatson In this: https://mstdn.social/@rebeccawatson/112926993314379385 , you have a paragraph on needing to tick the right boxes to be "girl". This, (both ways) does not get talked about enough.
I'm an old dude living in a pretty uniform, suburban community, and I don't get out much. I don't have all the new terminology down. BUT if people (parents and teachers, neighbours and friends) could just CHILL and not worry about ticking those boxes, I have a feeling we'd all have a better life.

@rebeccawatson funny how they never provide the source for their initial pushbackโ€ฆ

@rebeccawatson

Screenshot of a comment thread:

@spiralvoid45: i thought the argument is that Khelif was discovered to have a Y chromosome? It sounded like she was born male with a DSD condition that makes her body look female even though she has male gonads and produces testosterone like a cis male?

@RebeccaWatson: you thought wrong

@spiralvoid45: source?

@RebeccaWatson: the video you're commenting on

#ALT4you

@rebeccawatson Of course they didn't actually watch.
