The true story is much more complex than can be explained clearly in a handful of rage tweets.

      There’s a pretty noticeable issue if women get accused of being transgender infiltrators before being accused of regular goddamn doping

        If she got caught for doping it wouldn’t be advancing their bigoted agenda, they’ll only push the angles that suit their hatred.

      I mean, there IS an issue, and that is bigots are allowed to breathe.

        It’s weird to ban people for things like this, I’d like to understand why people think this way (as in why this Olympic boxing controversy is an issue) but can’t when you ban them

      I genuinely don’t see an issue with a CIS woman competing against another CIS woman in woman’s boxing.

      I see a symbol on your comment that probably means you got banned for posting, which is dumb, but out of curiosity I wanna hear what issue people think there is here, and why they believe it is an issue

      This question is opened up to anyone really
