"#but yes also i do think sports should not be segregated by gender lol #but by talent"

The qualifying time for the Olympic marathon is 2:08:10, which has been broken by min 625 men, whereas the women's world record is 2:14:04. Does this mean you support cis woman never being able to compete in the marathon at the Olympics?

yep 👍 exactly what i said

#i grew up in a town which raised several olympians actually and to say that if we put everyone in the same league women would never qualify #is ridiculous bc i personally saw girls who were on the same level as the guys #a lot of times girls in my class would have to fill in for spaces on guys teams so that the guys could compete #stop being a gender essentialist just because ur brain is too small to imagine an alternative to the norm #olivia can and should wear red eyeshadow #anon #words for the me
