Guess I'm not watching the Olympics anymore.

@alice Preparing the popcorn for the backlash when they'll realise that the people it'll impact at 100% are cis women.

@alice I haven't watched the ESC and latest olympics because of those *pesky* zionists,

I haven't watched the latest world cup because it was bathed in workers' blood.

I won't watch the next world cup because, let's be fair, fuck Trump and his deranged entourage and politics.

Now this is another solid reason why we should boycott any international event. Fuck them, fuck everyone involved.

Trans lives, workers' lives are way worth than any international event.

Ahem, that Algerian fighter (Imane Khelif*) is fucking cis.

Her father had to show her birth certificate to the world to prove she is and always has been a girl.

Angela Carini can suck it. I don't care if I'm Italian too, she's a shame for my country, she's a shame for the whole Italian military corps.

@alice @oddtail "may have exceptions for those who are not effected by the performance enchancing effects of testosterone" weird how "testosterone" isnt what their checking for then

@anominominominous yeah, the quote from Rowling in that article is bonkers, like how can she be so wrong and yet so smug about it?

@anominominominous @transcendentempress @alice And the whole controversy over Imane Khelif began because of sour grapes and Russian corruption.

@transcendentempress @alice it will also disproportionally affect non-white cis (and interssex) women. transphobia is also white supremacy, let's not forget.

@alice I got bothered by the commercialism and the artificiality a long time ago, and the disconnect between amateur sport for peace and professional support for the other.

It's long been a showcasing of power, and the sooner it (and other professional entertainment sport stuff) dies the death so that we can find better ways of enjoying physciality as a society the better.

But I won't hold my breath.

@alice it's a pearl how the Coventry is like "yeah, if it's illegal there, let's just do it somewhere else" like "killing a person is illegal, but you know if we go a country where killing is legal... not a big deal?"

@alice

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.
