        It’s not natural if a man doesn’t want to control something to do with women. Must be all the new government mandated testosterone injections.

    As a trans woman, I make sure to steal a medal with my coffee every morning. I have over 300 confirmed Olympic golds, as well as over 400 silvers and over 1000 coppers. I can steal a medal just by walking into Planet Fitness. I melt them down and turn them onto Estrogen injections that I then distribute at your local high school

      “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

      1984, by George Orwell

      That needs to be branded on everyone who demands it of us. They’re your enemy and should be treated as such.

        If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

        Lyndon B. Johnson

        Nothing ever changes except which marginalised group they target. But its always… ALWAYS the same strategy; get them fighting a culture war so that they are too distracted to notice the real enemy.

        “A trans woman won an Ultimate Frizbee event! They’re robbing women of their Gold Medals!”

        #10 on their list, for anyone who cares.

    Remember folks, this isn’t about trans people, its a fresh new avenue for them to hate women.

    If a trans woman succeeds, its only because they were amab, and they should be forced to play in men’s sports. If a 5’8" 195 bearded dude succeeds but was afab, does he have to play women’s sports? Of course not. He’s a man.

      Saying that blatant transphobia “isn’t about trans people” is certainly a take. Them also being misogynists doesn’t mean this isn’t bigotry directed at trans people.

      Edit: Also, trans men are routinely forced to join women’s teams. Saying trans men are allowed on men’s teams by the same people that want trans women to not be in women’s sports is a lie. There just aren’t many trans men who can join any sports teams, as almost all sports state that you can’t take testosterone for any reason.

    Story by this gem of a reporter:

    “Natalie covers everything from weird news to crime and courts. She once helped expose the coverup of a cross-dressing groundhog who died after she was dropped by former Mayor Bill de Blasio”

      Maybe not Olympic specifically, but still completely outrageous. What else from a bootlicker rag?

    My town gives out a little medal to every kid who participated in Little League, so I think they are counting that.

        The onion had an article about a trans girl who transitioned solely to win medals at swimming events. The article ended with her saying she didn’t know how to swim.

          That’s not funny… Just like, satire done badly

          And I understand it, no way in hell I’d be an onion writer right now… The truth is so satirical that their job is impossible

      Well, no, because that’s not how a FOIA request works and because even if it was the system was sabotaged so there’s like a six month waiting period despite the law requiring twenty days.
