ive always been willing to die on the hill of cis women being able to beat cis men in sports so nobody will ever ever make me concerned about trans women in womens sports even if i was delusional enough to believe that was a comparable situation. do i think a cis woman could beat a trans woman in fucking pickleball or whatever? Buddy I think a cis woman could beat a cis male bodybuilder in sports. You will not get me
this feels too important (and correct!!) to leave in the notes
Research has shown that women, due to specific reasons, have regularly produced faster times than men in marathon swimming.
The sportâs governing body says there is little difference in performance between genders. Should men and women compete head-to-head as indi
Uncover the unique differences between menâs and women's gymnastics at the Olympics. Explore how these events contrast in style and rules.
Women outperform men in many sports, and in many instances, the men's versions of these sports are rewritten into completely different versions so that they can't be compared.
And if your reaction to this is "well women don't outperform men in skills that we typically find impressive" I would implore you to think about why things women tend to be better at than men are valued less by society.
If your reaction is "well that's cherrypicking examples, its such a small handful of formalized sports" I'd implore you to think of why so many popular sports are structured around the specific set of skills men are better at.
Because the answer starts with m and ends with isogyny.
Katie fucking Ledecky!
She is an Olympic goddess. Watching her do the 1500m is amazing. She is fast and has amazing endurance. I have seen her finish a race and then we had to wait for several minutes for the 2nd and 3rd place to finally catch up.
Men refuse to practice when she is. She intimidates the hell out of the best male swimmers. None can keep up with her, they get frustrated trying and leave in a rage.
It is not a coincidence that you semi regularly see Katie Ledecky being assumed to be trans. Transphobes are so misogynistic, they cannot see a woman fucking dominating her sport and not go "oh well she must secretly be a man" (because they don't think trans women are women) and somehow claim they are protecting women đ€Šđ»
(And Katie Ledecky is amazing! đđ»)
