    Half their team are lesbian or bisexual. A few years ago the headline would be about how disgraceful that is, but now they're happy that these women were born women and aren't trans. Daily Mail is fucking scum.

      Yeah, you can't convince me the average Daily Mail reader even considers women's football a real sport, much less watches it

      I've heard so much sneering at women's hockey and football from Finnish people throughout my life, I can't imagine the Brits are different

      Also, that other headline about banning two for one meal deals is the most British thing I've ever seen after transphobia. "We've completely fucked everything and the cost of living is going through the roof- better prevent the poors from buying crisps"

      In a society which sexualises female bodies from an increasingly young age, sport is one of the few ways girls can enjoy their physicality without being objectified by lechers.

      :fidel-wut:

      I wonder how many ‘tomboys’ will now be stopped from taking the journey to the surgeon’s scalpel, searching for a way to excise their shameful femininity, now that femininity has shown us such a bold new way of being?

      :body-without-sex-organs:

      Though, on paper, the situation of women lucky enough to live in the West should be one of unparalleled freedom and equality, it often feels that woke misogyny is sending us backwards.

      :capitalist-woke:

      Society to trans men: how about instead of becoming a man you just play some football. Close enough, right?

        This is straight up transphobia from the evangelical Christian playbook. They literally think no one in the world is actually trans, just that there are teens who are "tricked" into wanting to be trans. This is where the "groomer" bullshit comes in.

      In the US, back in the 90s and 00s the chuds hated the emergence of women's sports. I can remember how dismissive of the WNBA people were. I remember all those articles written about how a men's sport like wrestling was suffering because there had to be an equal number of men's and women's sports in schools. Chuds hated and still hate the idea of women in sports. They just think they've found a cudgel to beat trans folks with.
