with the wta seemingly introducing mandatory genetic sex testing i want to highlight that not only is sex testing/testosterone testing deeply rooted in transphobia/bullshit fearmongering about an extremely marginalized population but also disproportionately affects BIPOC athletes:

2009 Olympics — Caster Semenya forced to undergo sex testing following her gold medal win / long form profile by Ariel Levy

2021 Olympics — Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi banned from participating in women’s 400m race because of naturally high testosterone levels. / Op-ed piece by Morgan Campbell on misogynoir in sports / NPR podcast: The origins of modern day sex testing in sports

2024 Olympics — The case of Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting / Morgan Campbell Op-ed

You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light

You know... I am so sick of [everyone asking] the same damn question. "Who's walking into All In with the title?" Wrong question, Renee. The only question that matters is, "Who's walking out?" And that's me. The CEO.

Polycules should be able to trade people like sports teams do

[gondorrevealparty]

Listen -- you're a good defender and your pussy is fantastic, but that's not what our team needs right now. We're trading you to Greater Boston in exchange for someone who has a car.
