Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn't going to result in any action, so I'm wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?
(if someone needs an image description, please ask)
Judgmental much?
I’ve defended trans people in conversation about sports from a place of empathy. I imagine how I’d feel if some bureaucrats told me I had to play on a girls team. How out of place I’d feel at practice, in the locker room, on the bus to competitions, etc.
The problem I have is when right-wingers come at me with skeletomuscular advantage and detailed sports statistics, I’m in over my head. I won’t even broach the conversation any more, because I felt my lack of insight just helped them feel like they proved their point.
I could remain quiet, but I have a moral obligation to stand up for the oppressed. You don’t have to help inform me, but you don’t have to be a dick about it either.
