Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records
Walk_blesseD@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 day agoIt may not be an issue to you, but it's an issue to every woman whose ranking is lower as a result.
Really? "Every"? You asked every single one of them, did you? Or are you just talking out your arse on the behalf of hundreds of people you don't even know?

The very fact that their ranking is lower than what it should be is an issue in and of itself, your disingenuous mockery notwithstanding.

But they're placed exactly where they should be? If they should be placed higher, that's where they'd be… seems like you're the one getting mad over a skill issue on other people's behalf tbh. It's weird.
You're acting as though Lia Thomas didn't have every right to compete as she did, despite fulfilling all the eligibility criteria that were in place at the time, so your argument at this stage seems equally applicable to all the cis women who outperformed her, too, but you're not whining for the benefit of all the poor womanses that were denied the opportunity to place higher than they did by them, are you?
