Cycling and disc golf’s new rules reinforce the idea that trans women who win aren’t women

[Mmindy]

Two governing bodies sent a harsh, clear message of exclusion to trans athletes.

It’s crushing that the media storm about trans issues /controversies has become so public and constant now right as I’ve transitioned.  A few years ago I could’ve passed as I am today

 Now I see glares constantly.

Just another slap.  I'm sorry that the athletes involved have to deal with this but in todays climate i'm not suprised

I’m just saying, isn’t it enough to be able to transition without having to dominate women in sports too???

[Maddee]

It’s an amazing gift to be able to transition now.  It can be taken away!!! What we do, and how we publicly “take on the world”. DOES affect people, especially other transitioners  trying to make it through this difficult life process.

Well, I'm not in favor of confrontation for confrontation's sake.  However nothing we do is going to satisfy these people.

Their idea of compromise is for us to give in, and then compromise more the next time and so on.  I mean we should be reasonable… right?

 

It would not be possible for me to go back into the closet anyway.  Remember, their goal is our eradication.  We're not attacking them.

I agree @Ivy they aren't going to settle with a compromise, they want us gone. I will not go back into any proverbial closet.

It's a really scary time, they definitely want us gone, they want it to be impossible for anybody to ever transition again, and are trying to revoke our gender changes on documents like driver's licenses and birth certificates, even for those of us who have had the surgery.

 

They definitely want us gone.

[Maddee]

Wow.  It went too far and now we’re heading back to concentration camps.  Ok.  I’m scared, horrified now and don’t know what to do.  When I fight anything I lose.  There going to make us change back and if it’s too late to change back then they will put us to death.  
Eradicstion.

Hate speech. I agree.

You’re right.  I panicked when I saw the word eradicate.
