I mean… Good?

We separate genders in most sports for a reason. If I were a woman who trained my whole life as a woman, and got to the Olympic level, and I suddenly had to face an opponent that went through puberty as a man, trained as a man, and then a few years ago decided they were a woman, and began taking hormone blockers, I would be fucking pissed. There are significant biological and hormonal differences between men and women, which is why testosterone levels are monitored and regulated among female athletes.

Overall, I think articles like this are just intentional trolling with rage bait about stuff that doesn’t directly concern or impacts a thousandth of a percent of the population.

There’s real news in the real world that’s impacting all of us that we should be aware of and angry about.

decided they were a woman

Jeeeeeesus Christ it’s twenty fucking twenty six, how do you not know how gender dysphoria works? Do gay people decide to be gay?
