If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

Why are conservatives so weird when it comes to women playing sports? Like why do they care about their genitals?
Maybe we need to start calling them perverts.
They are so perverted.
Lots of weirdos and perverts out there. Bring a taser just in case.
Easy way to get arrested by one of said weirdos/perverts. Self-defense isn't particularly straightforward if you aren't straight and white.
Which is unfair, and should be changed. I'm fortunate that getting arrested would be a clearly better choice than being assaulted.
Honestly, most conservatives are just directing their rage toward whatever conservative politicians and talking heads tell them to direct it at. Conservatism lives and thrives on hate, requiring in-groups and out-groups that must be pitted against one another. The new fad is to care about a person’s genitals.
You see, conservatives don’t believe in gender equality, so someone who isn’t a cis woman will always perform better than cis women, because they believe that women are inherently weak and men are inherently strong, failing to believe that any other form of gender identity even exists.
Except here's the thing; I'm pretty sure I've read this athlete has a vagina, and has had one all of her life. They just don't understand sex, and how complex it can be.
Sex isn't a binary.
Trans women were allowed in the Olympics for 20 years and haven't won a single gold medal. The whole debate is just some made up unscientific garble by bigots.
Imane is literally a cis-gender woman and there's no evidence that she is intersex, trans, or anything that indicates non-normative chromosome or hormone production.
It is completely fair for her to compete and it's just right wing people who are trying to claim and decide that she's not womanly enough to be considered a woman.
There are literally no trans people competing in the Olympics this year and only two non-binary competitors. This is all being posed as if the entirety of the Olympics is being skewed by trans competitors when there aren't any and this controversy is just being invented for the sake of affirming control over women.
