So, I've had moments in the past where I might have spent 30 seconds thinking about this subject but ultimately I don't give a fuck about competitive sports so my analysis usually ends up being, all competitive sports should be banned because competitive sports are dumb. Which is admittedly a neanderthal take.

But yeah, now the global athletic showdown is going down and seemingly everyone in my immediate vicinity keeps clutching their pearls and I guess I'm sick of not being able to advocate for trans comrades appropriately and articulate a proper response.

So what's a better response besides, "who cares?" Am I missing something? Like, if all things were equitable, what would or should competitions look like?

Help me out. I honestly have no idea.

    Ban Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt for having an unnatural advantage. galaxy-brain

    It's obviously all concern trolling to justify transmisogyny.

      Totally agree. I just don't know or care enough about sports to have decently formulated arguments. It looks like there were some shitheads in this thread but that's not me. I'm actually understanding a lot of what folks are saying and glad that more or less I'm starting get it.

      Granted, I still hate competitive sports.
