Honestly, I couldn’t understand why people called her a TERF for the longest time, I figured she was just a TEF. But her outburst calling this “the new men’s rights movement” has me understanding now. With that said, meh. But maybe I’ve grown up around too many crazy people for it to register any more.
Not really. Other than the perpetually online, a majority of people believe that trans identities in women’s sports is wrong. I don’t know how to fix that perception, but it’s a pretty common viewpoint.
Being trans-exclusionary everywhere ELSE absolutely, you would be considered a radical.
But before “Gender Identity” even became a thing, sports had some pretty simple rules: If you take substances to modify your body, then you’re excluded from competition.
Unfortunately, that’s the primary basis of gender identity nowadays, so it’s a natural consequence. Notice that the problem never really even gets discussed in men’s sports (except by reactionaries) – because there being any kind of physical advantage in the male category is negligible at best.
I think the R is also because she posts all the fucking time about it. I assumed she had some dumb reactionary views but wasn’t quite sure why that was so newsworthy (I’m sure lots of people have dumb reactionary views, esp the ultra wealthy). But she literally posts all day every day about it, it’s fucking bonkers.
