    This Olympics trans panic is completely fucked up. What everyone said would happen when you police gender, there’s no trans women to attack so they go after cis women who aren’t feminine enough.

    The weird thing is that if you use a broader lens on gender (Leslie Feinberg, Judith Butler etc style), where gender non-conforming, “masculine” and “butch” women are transgender, a large swath of female Olympians are kind of trans masc coded just by virtue of being extreme sportswomen.

    It’s like reactionaries are gazing on this secret truth of the universe that gender is a construct and these gender norms are being subverted by countless atheltes, and then doing a complete 180 to be like “oh they’ve got to be a man”.
