Panfilo posted:Pretty clever gambit by a reactionary athlete that gets to ride on a wave of mediocrity by focusing the narrative on how she was denied her chance of victory. Without a trans swimmer present Reka would have been irrelevant but now she gets to center the issue on her without having to do anything differently. My favorite part of her open letter is where she says "I know people will say that I should've just tried harder and swam better but this situation is totally different." It's like, there's 15 other cis women who swam better than her and made it to the finals, the situation is absolutely no different than if it had just been another cis woman. spacemang_spliff posted:is the person with the big chin and long hair supposed to be trans? Yeah it's supposed to be Lia Thomas, that's why she's wearing goggles and a swim cap to the deli.

Culture war is a hell of a drug All of our systems and institutions are thoroughly broken, our government is completely corrupt, the climate apocalypse is only getting more certain, and we're on the verge of WW3, but sure let's focus on this 17th-place swimmer's grievance that she feels she should be in 16th place, great use of our collective time and energy

She says that to get ahead of that statement and implore reactionaries to shut it down. That way when it gets brought up they'll reflexively say "it doesn't matter". This also makes me wonder how many other fence sitters there are waiting to see which way the wind is blowing on this issue. Probably not all of them like TERFs and reactionaries want to believe, but some that might try to come off as moderate at the expense of Lia regardless.

also, lia won only one race. a cisgender woman won 6 ncaa titles that day including beating lia. people are just being lovely to be lovely to one of the smallest minority groups in the nation because it's a distraction.

the perception of trans women as universally 7-foot musclebound hulks seems to be limited to people who are currently morally panicking about sports, too even when they're doing another trans-based moral panic (eg bathrooms) the perception is a bald middle-aged dude sporting 200 pounds of fat or something

While I was getting the info on that swimmer who was complaining about Lia Thomas, I also found out that DeSantis was so mad she won that he declared the second place swimmer to be the champion.

also notice how they're all silent about the flipside of this. mack beggs has absolutely destroyed his competition and won two state wrestling titles in texas because they refuse to let him compete with other boys. in his case, it's literally a young man out there wrestling women into the loving dirt because they're treating him as if he's a girl.

On the contrary, you can find a few very confused commentators who are apparently under the impression he's a trans woman and are very mad about it

You really haven't talked to a zionist until you've had some little old lady functionally tell you 'well lots of other groups got to run the world in the shadows, why not give us a chance after all the poo poo we've been through' completely unironically. Just reading Stormfront bullshit about your actual people and going 'yes, correct'.

It's bizarre, because it's literally an old Jewish joke quote:Two Jewish men sat on a park bench reading newspapers. One man, reading the Jewish Telegraph, was astonished to see his friend reading the Nazi Press.
