It baffles me why "trans girls" are the only athletes allowed to choose who they get to compete with.

And also why they're allowed to take performance-altering substances, even though the claim is the substances reduce their performance.

Also why it's only girls who are expected to give up their self-esteem, their achievements, their medals and their scholarships so that other athletes' feelings won't be hurt.

Misogyny. Let's call it out, loudly.

Its so, so frustrating. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to be a female T+F athlete right now.

Especially since girls are being gaslit to feel that they are the oppressors.

These girls train for hours a day to achieve both personal satisfaction and perhaps medals and scholarships and then some twerp comes along, claims to be a girl and steals their achievements and their sense of self (I can imagine them thinking, "Wait - if he's a girl, then what am I? ", yet the girls are painted as the villains.

No respect for AOC or Jones.
