God I fucking hate liberals. Had to listen to my mom and her friend go off about Caitlyn Jenner. "I don't care if [s]he want to be a woman or is gay or whatever. I just don't think [s]he should be playing women's sports. To me, [s]he's always going to be [deadname]."
If you don't care, then why are you dead naming and misgendering her, while saying trans women can't compete in women's sports? I spoke up about how trans people have been allowed in the Olympics for years, yet the number of them who have won medals is tiny (I think 2 bronze metals in 30 years or some shit?). So either they deliberately lose because it "gives real women a chance!" or they win and it's "they had an unfair advantage!" There will be an excuse to unfairly penalize them, on top of all the usual bullshit.
So it's not just petite-bourgeois asshats. It's reactionary white people and people who settled on their worldview at 23 and have kept it the same for 40+ years because God forbid they read a fucking book that's non-fiction.
Edit: transphobia corrections as suggested below.
every single liberal I know. Or if it is non-fiction, it's this shit:
Jenner uses her old name when talking about her past [do not look at her ex wife's wikipedia talk page], but also, she doesnt even play sport anymore, she's in her 60s lol
you are using her old name, even if youre quoting someone, probably could just say [their old name], or something
anyway, fuck Jenner, she was invited by israel to be the guest of honour at the pride parade this year and did a tour of 'oct 7 sites'
