Y2K Rubber Bracelet Trend (2004)
The trend started with The Livestrong Campaign in May in 2004 by Lance Armstrong. The campaign sold yellow silicon gel wristband bracelet that read Livestrong and launched as a fund-raising item to provide support for people affected by Cancer. It became so popular, shortly after you could find them sold just about everywhere for every occasion and in about every color after.

~On a mission of the Father, to reduce the gates of Hell
The ivory bone eyed mother's flesh is starting to swell
I'm setting twenty-two tables for the funeral feast
Satan is by far the kindest beast…~

I was just talking to my dad about Lance Armstrong, and I don't think it's at all uncommon for people who have been through something as traumatic as cancer and cancer treatment to just start reevaluating what is important to them. Like, my mom and I were constantly at odds throughout my life, but when her cancer got really serious as she neared the end of her life, I know she started reevaluating things. She suddenly became less critical of me and supportive of me, because she knew she would be leaving this earth soon. I will always love her for that. Other people I've known who have gone through something like cancer have told me that certain things just become less important.
The thing about Lance Armstrong is that he survived cancer and cancer treatment. He lost an organ of his body. He could have *died*, but the most important thing to him was *still* winning. Even after all he had been through, showing up and finishing the race wasn't enough for him. He had to *win*, and he was going to do that even if it meant cheating. As a result, this huge wave of ableism swept fitness culture. This whole "Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France after battling testicular cancer! If he can do it with one testicle, then you're just lazy and don't want it enough!" People with disabilities were shamed for not trying. Because Armstrong was hyped up as this miracle man who survived cancer AND was continuing to win all his little races.
And then it came out that he had been cheating the whole time. How many people gave up on their fitness and health journeys over the bullshit? How many people *believed* they must have been lazy if they weren't able to perform the way he did while able-bodied? How many disabled people's disabilities were invalidated because of him? And only for it to be found out he was cheating the whole time.
But the part that gets me? He didn't have to do that. He didn't have to win. I understand wanting to "get back out there." I enjoy exercise too and hate when I have to take time off from it. But he didn't have to *win*. If his goal was to be inspiring, showing up to the race would have been enough. Even if he didn't finish, he would have had so much support.
No, suffering doesn't automatically mean a person will be better, but I think it's sad that he chose the path he did instead of growing from his experience. He became such a problem to many people with limitations.

(via Lance Armstrong, of All People, Weighs in on 'Fairness' of Trans Girls in Sports)
Lance Armstrong—a man whose entire career is defined by cheating in sports via steroids—is just “asking questions” about whether it’s fair to allow trans women play women’s sports
Pompous man famous for cheating his whole career decides that women athletes might not be a fair thing.
