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

"This was the very first video I filmed of Jannik, on July 8, 2015. He arrived at the training camp on Elba Island for a one-week camp with Riccardo Piatti, and that's where we did his very first video analysis. What impressed me from day one was his incredible passion for tennis and his constant desire to improve. He had an extraordinary curiosity: he watched, listened, asked questions, and wanted to understand every detail. It was clear that he was never satisfied–he always wanted to learn something new every time he stepped onto the court."

can tennis tournaments start designing trophies that players can fuck

#every once in a while i see a dildo shaped f1 trophy and sigh #missing out a lot on the 'inappropriate use of trophy' tag #are there any fuckable tennis trophies?
