Champion runner Caster Semenya won a potentially landmark legal decision for sports on Tuesday when the European Court of Human Rights decided she was discriminated against by rules in track and field that force her to medically reduce her natural hormone levels to compete in major competitions.
But the two-time Olympic championās success after her two failed appeals inĀ sportsā highest courtĀ in 2019 and theĀ Swiss supreme courtĀ in 2020 came with a major caveat. The ruling didnāt strike down the rules and the world track and field body said soon after it was released that the contentious testosterone regulations would āremain in place.ā

im so glad other people think carini was being a fucking asshole lmao. i didnt wanna detract from one of the posts i reblogged but i have to say that she takes punches for a living. some sources were acting like khalif put her in DANGER. with a single punch from someone in her own weight class?? yall are setting women back 80 years i fucking swear. not to mention the nasty intersexism targeted at khalif, doubly so because shes a black woman, and the misdirected transphobia from grifters like jkr
#re: intersexist and transphobic people dont even like womens sports: they dont even remember the same case wrt caster semenya š#my dad was talking about this and couldnt name any other women boxers in this olympics#yall dont even give a fuck its just the grift. it makes me sick

Greatest feminist minds of our generation are now bringing us "womanhood is a disability"
#never even made any prescriptive statements about what should Become Of Women's Sports in that post#just 'weird that segregation/the pay gap/kicking trans girls off the middle school soccer team/ruining caster semenya's career#get framed as the endgame of feminism now'

Thought: Lesterās nickname from when he did archery should be Apollo! Because of how good he was! And now people call him and Rachel Apollo and the Oracle because of the thing with her predicting the athletes moves and and him already being nicknamed Apollo! Or something like that!
I really like this! And it fits into their canon identities perfectly. Almost, as if, I planned it that way š©· Iām so happy you agree it fits!
I love the idea of them both getting nicknames for being so good at what they do.

two others joining caster semenya (my beloved <3) in intersexy athletes of color team is reminding me of the middle school basketball team with 'tomboys' who were often targeted by teachers... thinking of them always. love gender deviant athletes of color forever.
#feel like this is another one of those influences you see in my writings#would hate sports and sport industry if it weren't for how important marginalized athletes are to me#sometimes when i fall into cynicism & pessimism i just look up caster with her wife & kids and everything is suddenly okay + love is real#š#text

So apparently right wingers are saying that WNBA player Brittney Griner is a trans woman due to her appereance, voice etc...gross. They did the same to Caster Semenya last year, I hate this.
(to be clear, trans women in sports are a great thing and must be supported, Iām saying this type of transphobia is bad)

Itās a bit dishonest to claim theĀ ābanā is discriminatory; the guidelines do not ban transgender women from all sporting events, as itās been reported on in some countries, but only from sporting events in the female category. Transgender women are not female, so why should they be permitted to compete in the female category?
I think one of the major problems around the ādebateā is the infantilisation of female athletes. Weāre not seen as talented or capable as our male athletic counterparts, so our athletes and achieved can be framed as being about āinclusionā and āfunā andĀ āartisticā (rather than ācompetitiveā or ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½seriousā or āthrillingā).
I think one of the other major problems around theĀ ādebateā is the willingness of well-minded people to ignore how sex differences practically play out in patriarchy (or, in other words, people are just too āsex-blindā). Of course female and male athletes have different sporting capacities - our sports arenāt āgender-neutralā/ābody-neutralā - theyāre designed to show-case male bodies!
#notice how the debate is always 'transgender males in the female category' and never 'transgender females in the male category'#the article mentions caster semenya - a person who has a DSD/intersex condition that only bio males can get#anyway i'm glad some sporting bodies have the guts to reinforce sex SEPARATION#stuff the abc for claiming that 'transgender females are being banned from the female category' - transgender women are transgender males#90% of the people who express opinions on this issue don't play sports lol (i do)#sport#transgender#radfem#radfem safe

Bruh sick brain is messing with me so much I ordered dominos and I saw the estimated delivery time was getting shorter and I was like oh theyāre going faster than they thought how nice
I forgot about the passage of time
I forgot time was passing and thatās why the estimated delivery time was getting closer.
#idk what I have but itās ducking with my head#I also thought sports casters were talking about fat bear week yesterday cuz they were talking about bears fans

Basically sports are never going to be a Totally Fair And Equal playing field where the only thing that determines your success is how hard you work because there are always going to be a million different types of bodies and genetic potentials in any category you might think to create. AND it is worth having SOME categories to make sports a little closer to fair and give more people a chance to be competitive. But the categories people choose to obsessively, rigidly police, the things about which people will say "THIS thing has to be EXACTLY EQUAL, nevermind all the other things that are not equal that I will never mention"... are. Telling
#good for Caster Semenya give her a fucking break#I ran almost daily for two years before setting my current half marathon PR on a flat track#my friend did a couple runs a week for five months and then beat my PR by five minutes on a hilly course#on her first half marathon attempt#that's sports babey#some people just have bodies that are gonna be better at it than you and#you can't control for ALL of it without becoming a lot worse than what you're trying to prevent

Do all these people that say 'trans women shouldn't compete with women because they are biologically male - they have too much testostrone etc' realise that putting these restrictions in for trans women is only gonna lead to cis women getting fucked over too??
#i give you caster semenya#a cis women who isn't being allowed to compete because of all these silly restrictions in trying to ban trans women#and notice how all these restrictions is only affect black women too#take from that what you will#trans women are women#sports#women's sports
