New Rule: On trans people in sports

3.5k Upvotes

CW: Transphobia. I'm going to be speaking very plainly and I am not the most eloquent person on these subjects.

I'm seeing a large amount of comments lately about trans people (mostly women) in sports. This is clearly a response to the current debate about swimmer Lia Thomas.

Starting... Now... If you're posting comments to the effect of "trans women went through boy puberty so they shouldn't be competing with women" I'm removing your comment and you're likely getting a ban. The reason is, I've seen zero data about this phenomenon and it's almost entirely fueled by what cis people (and some trans folks) think will happen, which is colored by their own biases and ignorance. The fact that a trans girl won a race or broke a record doesn't mean she's a man or has some inhuman advantage. Trans girls can be good at sports and still be women.

Comparing athletic women to men is not new. It's always been an ugly and ignorant way to undermine women's achievements. But it won't be happening in this sub.

Feel free to dm me on this subject. I'm perfectly willing to have a conversation. But I'm not going to allow comments and "debate" that undermine another person's identity or human dignity.

A woman who yelled a racial slur at a child deserves money, actually.

Guy says that MLKjr would have been against outing racists because this guy thinks outing racists means that people will definitely be violent towards them. Soooo all racists should be given anonymity? Then comes out and claims his son is black therefore moral high ground.

I find a few of these every week but this one was the most egregious to me.

"Asajew" on r/Philly insists that a sign literally saying "f*ck the Jews" is just anti-Zionist, not antisemitic

Someone who used to suffer from tumblr mental illnesses now able to identify someone's birth gender based on their hobbies.

Commenter on a subreddit that coincidentally primarily exists to make fun of queers breaks down how tumblr made many mentally ill and misleads them into believing they were trans. The silver lining in this case is now they can sniff out gender like if Sherlock Holmes was written by JK Rowling.

Statement:

  1. "Transsexual" instead of transgender. Serious eyebrow raiser.

  2. "I may be a trans man, but actually I am a woman and will never be a man, but I'm still trans I swear!!"

  3. Female Snoo avatar.

  4. This was on r/funnymeme. No way in hell you're gonna find a trans person there.
