Anyone else notice how when an athlete comes out as a transwoman, the press only show photos of them alone, so they look lonely, isolated, harmless? This is cyclist Emily Bridges 1/
Emily was a champion male youth cyclist. And seemed a similar build to other competitors. Often beating these boys. 2/
When next to girls or women, we saw a size difference. 3/
But soon, Emily will be competing against female riders, because that will make Emily happy. What about the girls, you ask? Yes, what about them? If Emily is winning and happy, isn’t that enough? Won’t that be fairness, equality, justice? 4/
June Eastwood gets soft focus, beautiful photos and speaks in such a gentle, kind voice. Always shown alone, feeling left out. Won’t someone help Juniper? 5/
Cross-country is a lonely business. 6/
Not competing against girls makes Juniper very sad. Can you help put this admittedly charming smile back on June’s face? 7/
Of course when you see June next to other girls, you might think, hey, this isn’t fair. But whose happiness comes first? Remember the cute smile! And the braids! 8/
Isn’t girls’ and women’s sport all about having fun and sportsmanship and learning to lose gracefully with a smile on your face? Even if the girl who beats you carries an impressive lunchbox? Today’s girls must learn to BE KIND and step aside. Or else. 9/9
How could I forget poor Lindsay Hecox? All alone. Can you help? 💔
Lindsay is so marginalised. See, they even say so on the cover of Sports Illustrated. So so unfair. Won’t you heed her pleas for fairness and justice?
Lindsay just wants to run! All day, all night, Marianne. Can you help, girls? Can you put aside your selfish dreams and ambitions and step aside to give poor Lindsay a spot on the starting line? That’s ALL she is asking for? See her lonely struggle. Tragique!
I played high school volleyball. Not particularly well, but many on my team were superb. But can you imagine if the other teams had a transgirl? 🤬🤬
The striker on the left (above) is Tifanny Abreu, the 1st transwoman to play in the Brazilian Women’s Volleyball Superliga. She’s 6’4”, but hey, lots of tall women in volleyball, right?
Please don’t presume Tifany has an advantage – quite the opposite. She says her testosterone is a LIABILITY. Any advantage could be due to superior training techniques in the men’s league, but again, her strength is down to her own hard work. https://onthedotwoman.com/woman/tifanny-abreu
I left out 2019 Kent Woman Player of the Year, cricketer Maxine Blythin! (Tx @HelenHighwatr ) Maxine is shy and soft-spoken off the pitch and “reveals shock at the backlash” to winning this award. 💔
Still has the killer instinct on the pitch: averaged 124 that season, and scored four centuries (100+ points in a match). Yay! An indisputable ⭐️. At the same time (!) Maxine played in men’s division II, but didn’t fare so well... averaged 13.6 runs, high score only 44.
Why the big difference in scores? Perhaps Maxine feels more comfortable and accepted on the women’s team. Or maybe it’s the average bowling speed? The ‘best’ female bowler bowls at 77mph. Male bowlers at 90+mph. Maybe the lighter bat or smaller boundaries in 👩🏽 game? Or, umm...
Maxine DESERVES praise and maybe 1 of the few sponsorships in the female game. Sure she’s tall, but she says her sister is too! And in 2019 said she had an “undiagnosed” intersex disorder. Maybe Klinefelter, a condition affecting males. Tall, little body hair, small testicles.
Sincere question: if Caster Semenya and Maxine enter women’s sport and win, and XX girls with DSD like Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia play women’s sport and win... is it fair? Do XX women with DSD ever compete in or win in men’s sport?
Girls, play less sport. Stop fretting about winning. BE KIND!! (Or else!)
Why get a scholarship to college anyway? Surely the transwoman deserves it more! Stay home, have a baby – maybe be a surrogate for a poor transwoman in need? After all, they’re the marginalised ones. BE KIND.
