Darkly hilarious that TERFs want us to get worked up about the horrifying, society-destroying prospect of ... unfairness in sports. https://twitter.com/chasestrangio/status/1349703077683736577
The vast majority of sports in America are played by random amateurs, mostly teenagers. Even if it were true that having trans players would make them unfair ... who cares? Amateur sports are already unfair on like 50 dimensions.
Sports People are constantly saying that sports are important for kids because they teach leadership skills, responsibility, teamwork, etc. 99.9% of kids who play high school sports don't go pro or anywhere near it. Now it's all "waaaaahhhhh save the integrity of spoooorts"?
My high school literally had a *ski team*. 90% of students couldn't join because they couldn't afford hundreds of dollars for equipment and lift tickets. But sure it's the trans 17-year-old who truly threatens sports' longstanding egalitarianism https://twitter.com/BrittneyBush/status/1352396712724193282
Fair point! It's not Sports People spearheading this asinine moral panic it's retrograde bigots who only started doing the Won't Someone Think of the Sports act when trans people tried to join. https://twitter.com/ncallaway/status/1352397740706209794
Yes the Sports People are correct about all the great values kids learn from being part of a team—one of which is how to work with people who are different from them! Excluding trans kids negates the entire project for everyone. https://twitter.com/thombeckett/status/1352399086524264450
This is absolutely going to become a thing. Just like the incompetent dudes who get passed over for a promotion and blame affirmative action. https://twitter.com/shadowmaster132/status/1352403516304678913
