Local :reddit-logo: is bursting with them right now due to some college swimmer or something. So so so so many "I support trans people / think they deserve a place in society / have a trans friend BUT (transphobia)"

Seen someone talking about Micheal Phelps' natural biological advantages and that seems to shut them up, but other dunks would be appreciated

    Well if you are talking high level sports, you can point to the fact that the IOC (the Olympics) is accepting of trans athletes IIRC.

      Yeah, they generally don't seem to care because there are still bIoLoGiCaL dIfFeReNcEs and think the IoC is wrong

        This may not apply to the people you deal with, but in my life I happen to know a bunch of transphobes. They also all happen to believe the earth is < 10k years old and evolution is a lie. So when they spout bullshit about "sCiEnCe" I can't but laugh. I'm sure people who think God literally flooded the entire world and brought 2 of every animal on a boat reallu have a good grasp on science w/r/t trans folks. It doesn't help change their minds, but I does help me be able to deal with them.
