France calls new Olympic gender testing 'backward step'

The IOC announced on Thursday that only 'biological females' will be allowed to compete in women's events, preventing transgender women from competing.

Any "benefits" disappear once someone is on HRT.

The IOC said there may be "rare exceptions" for DSD athletes who do not benefit from the performance-enhancing effects of testosterone.

Fuck them and their disengenous bullshit.

@jrdepriest @alice Every day I hear about how I am a degenerate or something but also how I also have an unfair advantage over olympic atheletes and an unfair advantage over chess grand masters, etc. etc.

@ra6bit trans folx are Schrödinger's villain—simultaneously weak little snowflakes *and* more powerful than trained Olympians.

It's fucking ridiculous.

'cuz we're not real to them - we're a spooky story they make up in their heads, and they aren't even talking about the real-world people involved; this is all about the imaginary person they made up to be mad at.
