And yet, I have gained a deeper understanding by discussing it in this thread than I would have if I just watched from the sideline. People wouldn’t have even been replying in the first place to talk about these issues if I hadn’t have said anything in the first place.
If anyone wants to speak to their experience of being a trans player in sports, I wish they would, but for the large population of trans people on the site, I rarely see anyone speaking from personal anecdote when it comes to sports. Much less so sports at a high level. I’ve had people speak of their experience at school, and growing up, and so on, but not of any actual sports experience.

bro half your comments have been removed by the mods or yourself for transphobia. jesus christ.
if the only way you can learn about the plight of the marginalized is to rile a bunch of us up, maybe just don’t. and maybe consider that a lot of us don’t talk about sports in non-queer spaces because it tends to bring a bunch of replies like yours here, and that’s unpleasant. hell in my fucking queer rec leagues I’ve had to wade through it.
