lol I love that the pretense to being anti-trans women in girls sports is that it is about fairness and just some fundamental biological facts meant that trans women shouldn't compete. Yep, no transphobia, just apolitically caring about who gets to compete in women's sports. And yet every single comment I see either intentionally misgenders the athlete or puts "she" in quotation marks. Like just the absolute thinnest veneer.
a funny thing for me personally about this discourse is i have a family member who always used to get mad when people would bring up women's sports (funding or pay disparities between female and male athletes and such) and say shit like "the fact of the matter is people just dont care about women's sports. It doesn't make money. people want to see men play and that's all there is to it." and not that guy suddenly cares a fucking lot about women's sports.
One I've become more aware of recently is people using "they" (or awkward language like "this individual") for binary trans women that definitely use she/her, this is especially common with libs who want to be transphobic without blatantly misgendering them.
