  1. In the last four years, how many bouts have occured at USA Fencing-sanctioned events between men (or transgender women) and women.

There are literally mixed-gender tournaments happening on a regular basis. The terf who started this shit even participated in one recently, beating multiple men. Didn't have a problem facing men then.

B) In those bouts, how many times did a female athlete suffer an injury?

Almost never. For a sport all about stabbing your opponent with a sword, fencing is like, extremely safe. Like, I guess I've gotten bruised when I wasn't wearing a chest guard, and saber fencers have iconic "forearm stripes" from getting whacked there a lot, but none of this shit is gendered.

The fencing community already decided on this shit. Turns out, all those nerds who decided to learn to swing a sword around as a sport are also pretty queer-friendly. Fuck Ted Cruz and fuck this washed up Riley Gaines wannabe.

Oh good, I was worried when I saw good news the other day. I see everything is back to normal.
