Laxystem (Masto/Glitch) on Nostr: About [this ...

About [this one](https://slate.com/culture/2024/08/olympic-boxers-gender-test-controversy-explained.html ) --- this isn't even transphobia. It's xenophobia in a trenchcoat. If those women were white, people would just think they're a tomboy, and move on "because there are women that like sports" - it simply makes sense for those bigots; afterall, they need a way to justify the existence of women's sports to themselves, don't they?

But the moment they ain't white - more specifically, the moment that their culture's and ethnicity's "identifiers" for masculinity are different from the bigots' - they have to fit into *some* template, and the nearest template they can find is "trans". Because bigots hate differences, and they would do anything to make all differences into one - "*them*".
