People need to stop acting like they care about women’s sports

Maybe this isn’t the right community to post this but I am SO OVER the trans sport participation controversy.

As if any of the people who whine about allowing trans kids to participate in sports as the gender they transitioned to give a singular fuck about women’s sports.

I was an athlete in high school. If I played a team that had a trans girl on it, would it bother me? Idk. Maybe? Probably not, I played team sports. One player doesn’t make or break a game.

The funny thing is though, I attend girl’s and women’s sporting events. We’ve got a women’s sports-only bar in Minneapolis that I go to from time to time. I’m a BIG supporter of female athletes. Why?

Because I was one. And as a female athlete everyone treats you/your passion like a joke. Women athletes are literally punchlines.

Go to a women’s sporting event in your area; unless the team DOMINATE and consistently win championships (r/MinnesotaLynx), then the stadiums/venues are empty.

Just like every marginalized group, they’re using women as a token to amplify their hatred and discrimination of trans kids and it’s really fucking annoying.

Whatever you think about trans folks participating in sports, stop pretending like your position comes from wanting to preserve the sanctity of women’s sports. Until people start to actually support and get behind women’s athletics, I don’t want to hear it.
