Me: *wearing a Save Girls' Sports shirt*
A mom: Hey. Excuse me. Hi. Um, would you mind covering that shirt with something?
A mom: Because it’s a controversial topic and some of the athletes might be offended by it. It’s not appropriate to wear to a sports meet.
Me: So? I don’t see a problem with it.
A mom: Well, a lot of people would, so I’m asking you nicely to cover it up. Please.
Me: Why are YOU so bothered by it? It’s just a shirt.
A mom: It’s a sensitive subject for a lot of people. It’s offensive and disrespectful to some of the athletes.
Me: Like who? Point them out to me.
A mom: I want you to cover up your shirt.
Me: No. I don’t have to do anything you tell me. I don’t even know you. There is nothing wrong with my shirt. You’re not in charge here. You’re just a mom.
A mom: Maybe so, but I can get security over here to escort you out if I wanted to. You are being very disrespectful to the athletic community.
Me: Yeah, like who? Transgender athletes? Because boys have no right competing in girls’ sports. I suppose you’re gonna tell me that your son identifies as a girl, is that it? Is that why you’re so butthurt over my shirt? It hurts his little boy-feelings? I am not taking off this shirt. It’s the only one I brought.
A mom: My child IS a girl. She identifies as a girl. YOU have no right to dictate where MY child should be competing! Your shirt is a symbol of transphobia and bigotry, and I am not going to tolerate anyone coming in here and calling MY child a boy! Have sympathy for others’ feelings!
Me: ‘FEELINGS.’ It’s always FEELINGS. Try again, sweetie. I speak FACTS. Girls’ sports are for BIOLOGICAL GIRLS ONLY, and it needs to STAY that way! Men already have their own category; they have no right to weasel into OUR spaces and invade OUR sports! Men and women are separate for a REASON! Your SON has no business playing on a team built for GIRLS!
A mom: Keep your mouth shut before I get security over here! You are a bigoted transphobe, lady! I don’t know who raised you, but you’d best shut your trap before I file a lawsuit!
Me: For what? Facts? Logic? Go ahead, Mom. File your precious LAWSUIT. Call your LAWYER. Because that’s how it is here in good old AmeriKKKa, isn’t it? Use your power of ATTORNEY to solve all your problems for you! That’s all everyone does here is sue, sue, sue! Sue when you don’t get your way! Sue because your little feefees are hurt! Sue just because it’s your damn RIGHT! You are a real piece of work, you know that? And I bet your son is just as entitled as you are. I am NOT going to play into some gender-confused boy’s delusion because he doesn’t know what he is! Don’t expect me to treat him like a girl because he will never BE one! It’s basic biology! He can go through as many hormone treatments and gender surgeries he wants, but he will NEVER change his chromosomes! HE is XY, through and through! I am here simply to take a stand and make a statement for ALL my fellow girlies out there!
A mom: Oh, you want to take a stand? You want to TAKE A STAND?? Ohhh, girly, you WILL take a stand, all right! You will STAND when security throws you out for disobeying the dress code! Yes, this is America, and we have RIGHTS here! I WILL file a lawsuit for discrimination and bigotry towards transgender people, because you have clearly shown your colors as a disgusting transphobe! You obviously hate trans people, and I will NOT stand for it!
Me: Call me what you want, but it is not transphobic to state the facts. I’m only telling it how it is. Your child is male. He can’t change his gender. Read up on it! It’s literally in EVERY biology book!
A mom: DON’T INSULT MY DAUGHTER!!!
A mom: I am gonna RIP that discriminating piece of cloth off your filthy body, you bitch!!!
Me: Yeah?? Try it! I dare you! Effing TRY it!!!
A mom: You wanna threaten me????
Me: Please. I don’t make threats. I make PROMISES!
A mom: SECURITY! GET SECURITY DOWN HERE! GET THIS WOMAN OUT OF THE ARENA!!! SECURITY!!!!
Security Guard: Ma’am, what’s the issue?
A mom: Ask HER! She’s a toxic, transphobic bitch who has insulted my child more than once and is wearing very inappropriate clothing! I asked her politely to cover it up and she’s refusing to comply!
Security Guard: Ma’am, will you cover your shirt, please?
Me: I’m taking a stand for my fellow girlies. No, I will not cover my shirt.
Security Guard: Then we will have to ask you to leave. Ma’am. Ma’am, either cover your shirt or leave. Do not make us drag you out by force.
Me: You want me to take off my shirt? FINE! *lifts up the hem of my shirt up to my chest, so my underwear is exposed for all to see* Look, everyone! Feast your eyes! A topless woman is in the stadium! Look! See the result of perverted men who asked me to remove my shirt all in the name of ‘wokeness!’
Security Guard: *starting to look embarrassed as people turn and stare* Ma’am, put your shirt down, please!
Me: For what? You just told me to cover it up, so I’m covering it up so you can’t see the writing! You got a problem with the female body or something? Does this OFFEND you?
Security Guard: I do not have a problem with the female body, but what you are doing right now is extremely inappropriate. We will have to detain you now for indecent exposure. This is a public event!
Me: Indecent exposure my ass! What IS it with the patriarchy, anyway? It’s TOTALLY OKAY when MEN take off their shirts in public, but when a WOMAN does it, it’s suddenly ‘inappropriate’ and ‘indecent exposure!’ Why? To protect the feelings of MEN?? WOMEN can’t go topless in public because it could attract the ‘wrong attention??’ Why don’t the DADS start teaching their SONS that women are NOT sex objects instead of encouraging then to be perverts?? Huh?? YOU ALL HEAR THAT, MEN? START TEACHING YOUE LITTLE BOYS TO STOP OBJECTIFYING WOMEN AND INSTEAD TREAT THEM LIKE HUMAN BEINGS! If WOMEN can’t take off their shirts in public, then NEITHER can MEN! I am just doing what you TOLD me! SAVE GIRLS’ SPORTS, PEOPLE! NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS!!!
Security Guard: *face beet red at everyone staring, filming, and taking pictures, grabbing me by the arm* That’s it, ma’am. You’re coming with us. We will not allow anyone in here who disrespects inclusion and respect. We will have to arrest you for not following the rules. I’m sorry you feel the way you do about men and the patriarchy, but there’s nothing we can do. It’s just the way the laws are written. They’ve always prioritized men. Life isn’t fair.
Me: What a laugh that is. Of course life isn’t fair…to women and girls! Men just HAVE TO take over EVERYTHING! I am sending a message to ALL women and girls by wearing this shirt! I have their backs, and NO entitled, perverted MAN is going to take that away from me! Let the BOY compete by HIMSELF!
*A bunch of people in the crowd clap and cheer in support of my statement, and many of them take pictures as the guards force me out of my seat. I flash out my shirt’s words with pride, smiling for the cameras*
Eventgoers: Hell yeah, girl!… Lift up your shirt again!… Save girls’ sports!… Thanks for standing up for the ladies!… Save girls’ sports! Save girls’ sports! Save girls’ sports!
Security Guard: Keep your comments to yourselves before you ALL get thrown out!!!
Eventgoers: Boooooo! BOOOOOOO! YOU SUCK!!!
