New study and reactions focus debate on trans women in sport
The frantic rush to ban trans women from playing sports has never been motivated by a genuine interest in women’s sports or improving anybody’s lives. The fact that it’s clearly going to hurt cis women in addition to trans women is an added bonus for the people who have pushed for it
Fred Davies61 in 15 women will be sexually assaulted by a male coach. Where is the legislation banning men from coaching girls sports? There isn't any because they don't give a shit about women.
Roasted Garlic & Herb Paoli4also, the court ruling that neither Title IX nor the Equal Protections Clause apply to protecting trans women from discrimination is an outright throwing open the gates to any and every anti-trans bill imaginable as we no longer have legal recourse in federal law
Dandy McDowell1Also conservatives love touching the genitals of children so this ruling accomplishes that goal too
Ben S | Chalk Talk Host1It helps the people who hated Title IX because it pushed women to do sports, a real contingent that still exists.
As they ban trans athletes from sports to "protect women," I'd like to know how they're "protecting women" by standing behind a known rapist.
Mickey Marlin White6They've "protected" women by banning abortion and all other medical procedures that can possibly construed as relating to it, with no regard to illness nor miscarriage. Now they want to to ban transition and all other medical...with no regard to birth defects of sex organs nor hormonal imbalances.
CA-NC-GA Lady2I wish the medical cmty wld help ppl understand that once estrogen/progesterone are injected into the ‘male’ body & testosterone is no longer the primary hormone that muscle density radically changes.
Tulkas1…and limiting women’s reproductive healthcare.
If you can get people to agree trans women have no place in women's sport you are getting them to concede they are not really women and everything else flows from that. They have said this themselves as they campaigned for the ban.
Sarah Viktoria 🇬🇧🏳️⚧️⚧️🦗12The "debate" starts from the premise that trans women are not women.
bex (she/they) 🌻🏳️⚧️8This is what I'm trying to convince people of yet I've met people even other trans women who say 'but you can see their point' and I have to object. If I must compete as a man, then logically I must be treated as a man everywhere else in life, ergo the events of this decade
Wurz3So many white sports dads over here are now free to abuse young girls
🦎2... Which is the only reason they're doing this.
We are never going to stop fighting for trans women and girls.
do what now3There will be a time in the future when the anti-trans movement of today will be looked on with disdain similarly to the segregationists of the past. Today’s Supreme Court ruling will be remembered as just another in a long line of moral failures
猫くノ一2I do appreciate that you and @sarajacobs.house.gov are fighting for trans 🏳️⚧️ Americans but this isn’t just a distraction. The trump regime and red MAGA want us dead literally. They want to criminalize us for existing. We’re facing a genocide 👇
informationbank.bsky.social2it might be a good idea to get the equal rights amendment passed.
Erica's Journey 🏳️⚧️ 🐸1Love your support for us all!
i made the mistake of reading some papers on uterus transplants in trans women and wanted to beat my head into jam when every one of them cited “menstruation and pregnancy could be gender affirming” as an argument in favor of expanding access to trans women
Nicole DeWitt102just shut the fuck up you idiot cissoids we deserve uterus transplants for the exact same set of reasons cis women do!! we’re the same thing, why the fuck are you making weaker arguments instead of just stating the obvious cis-identical reasons trans women have for wanting to bear our own children?
פּאָלאַ ⚢36Yeah, that’s the attitude cis people have towards our healthcare—they see it all through the perspective of them indulging our delusions so that we feel better. Ask them to instead question their assumptions about sex and they get really angry.
Laura Foster24"uterus transplants in trans women" Ahh, the carrot on a stick that's been dangled in front of me since the late 90s. "Four or five years from now, for sure this time." Lucy and the uterine football. How's about them treating us like women missing something, and less like us "wanting to be women"?
Nadia H. Slimeprincess18It fucked me up to learn that we could already do uterus transplants in the 30s and we could probably be doing them right now if not for that bullshit “could be” mindset that’s embedded in every institution 🫂 🫂 🫂 hugs Nicole
Malica15the worst part is that on the technical sides of things and the conclusion that "yeah it's doable and we have a good idea what we'd need to change" they are often quite good but they can't help themselves and have to be super transphobic every 2 sentences
Humecha 🎮🎙️9I have simply locked it into a part of my brain that says "you were born too early for this tech, maybe next life" because whenever I think about it I get super extra disgustingly sad
After the trans women in sports ruling today six transphobes rushed the steps of the Supreme Court to voice their approval. riley gaines arrived in fifth place...
kristinaw1021.bsky.social2I guarantee there will be a handful of pervert male coaches who will try to use this as an excuse to see/feel their female athlete naked. FFS
AZ Got Rid of Sinema2you may have outdone yourself 🎖️
Tracytastic Bitchcakes1The caucasity required to raise a ruckus because YOU TIED FOR FIFTH with a trans woman behind 4 other biologically female swimmers. Like it was Lia Thomas' fault you sucked and lost to 4 other people. (Also shows that Lia Thomas' gender at birth was not giving her a leg up over the other swimmers)
ironic to drop the "trans women have male socialization" talking point in the context of stancil complaining that trans women aren't deferential enough towards him
depressioncore32"if u were raised to be a girl you'd shut up when a man is speaking"
Zoe Parker6Of fucking course that’s what started it…
Shikantaza Slut2Placing a bet on polymarket on when will stancil will finally just come out and stop resenting the community. We can entice him with a single-use “get out of cancelled free card.”
Cassidy Sundance, The Red Handed Demon2Omfg THAT'S THE CONTEXT?! LOL
the thing is that this still isn't actually about sports, it's about establishing a legal foothold cementing "biological sex" and defining trans women as men and trans men as women, and then continuing from that foundation to legally define trans people out of existence
~Tilda is short for Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantilda Menace33today's decision is another step in putting in a legal framework whose goal is to make it so I can be fired or evicted for being me, to criminalize my health care, to force me out of public life unless I detransition so yeah the sports thing bums me out because I want to play spots, but also
Call Me The Brie-ze8They don’t even acknowledge trans men exist
Vineyard Dawg6It's fucking bullshit all the way down. It's dehumanizing our fellow humans all the way down. The cruelty is the point all the way down.
It IS absolutely disheartening and sickening to see cis people explain to other cis people why cis women and girls are in danger from these trans sports bans. It's just that in addition to that, things like genital inspections? That will keep trans girls far away while cis girls get the inspections
Kathryn Salamander 🔜 TFN 202626I really don't know what the answer is as to how to get through to cis people. Because like, if the question was "Either appeal to the fact that cis women and girls are in danger, or it keeps getting worse," I know which I'd pick. But the answer isn't that clear, of course.
Mallory Where6so fucking tired of this. this ruling is a disaster for our rights and that should be enough for it to matter. like that HAS TO BE enough for it to matter.
Nerd #71326leave it to the pro-epstein people to make penis inspection day real
