I don’t post like this much, but I’m genuinely pissed about this. It’s both unsurprising and deeply disturbing to see how quickly these anti-trans people are to jump at anyone who doesn’t meet their standards for what a woman is “supposed” to be.

Imane Khelif IS a cis-gender woman. She has ALWAYS been a cis-gender woman. The things about her that’ve caused all of this shit is the fact that her body produces more testosterone than the average female body, as well the fact that she was born with sex characteristics that don’t fit neatly in the male/female categories.

She didn’t CHOOSE for her body to produce more testosterone.

She didn’t CHOOSE to be born with intersexual characteristics.

And yet somehow, to these belligerent fucking idiots, that must mean she’s transgender. And not only that, but that’s she’s some kinda cheater who doesn’t even deserve to compete.

Because it’s not really about “protecting women”. It’s not about providing them with a “safe space”. It’s not about “keeping men out of women’s sports”.

It’s about protecting their IMAGE of what a woman SHOULD be.

This whole trans-panic that has infested this country has come to its eventual climax : women who are, by all accounts biological women, are now being deemed by lunatics to be something they’re not. It doesn’t matter if there’s evidence to point to the contrary, it’s just based on what they see. And what they see is a strong Algerian boxer who doesn’t fit neatly into their own preconceived standards of what a woman should be.

Not only does this obviously harm the transgender community, as well as all the communities that don’t fit within the traditional male/female definitions. It also impacts CIS-GENDER WOMEN.

YOU KNOW, THOSE PEOPLE THAT THESE FUCKING MORONS ARE PRETENDING THEY CARE ABOUT.

I don’t like this ride. I’d like to get off, please.

You're not being a very good trans ally if you treat nonbinary people differently based on if they're amab or afab

My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.
