This article just reads as the usual "women are stupid and don't know what they want" faire.

I'm guessing but a lot of straight and bi women call themselves lesbians so this study could factor that in as well. I'd also say 2017 is a little too early for it to be related to the transbian garbage.

Nah, 2017 was when I quit my old leftie forum after they drank the "suck the girldick, transphobe" kool-aid. It was already in full swing.

That's a good point. I didn't catch that it was from 2017.

Back in the early 2010s you could still talk about it, whereas now it's become decided which side is "right" and it's bigoted to say otherwise. But there were plenty of the younger generation already committed to the trans viewpoint, it just hadn't been quite so widely politically accepted.

No, it may not have spread to your circles but it had certainly become a full-on "thing" by then - Andraya Yearwood started winning races in April of that year which means that person was identifying and accepted as not just a girl but a legitimate member of a girl's track league for enough time longer for that to be unquestioned in CT. It has only recently been openly challenged.

Yearwood has competed without hormones or puberty blockers, which, Vice Media writes, "could have contributed to an advantage". But Vice Media also states that schools requiring medical treatment for trans athletes would create a barrier to entry because of the costs of treatment.

Lol, that is just straight up idiocy. Without hormones, puberty blockers and surgery - it is just regular boy. So advantage is insane, boy's school normatives are higher than olympic women's records. That is just unfair.

"a barrier to entry"

This one is the most ridiculous.

I was fighting/witnessing fighting with people daily about it in 2013/2014, they never changed their slogans or tactics just got worse. In 2013 I also saw it “irl” in a classroom. 2017 sounds ON time. Older lesbians than I report this going on years before it hit my awareness around 09/10, but in 12-16 it spread rapidly on social media.

That's interesting, I wish there was something online keeping a timeline of this stuff.

I always thought it was contained to websites like tumblr around 2014 and progressively spread from there.
