    Except she was born a woman, raised as a girl and is a woman according to her passport from a country where being trans is illegal. So your argument is moot.

      This the Olympics. What they do in their country is their problem. If trans was illegal in that country why would they want to highlight that issue by selecting that athlete. Makes no sense.

            I think you might have come full circle here. Being trans is her country is illegal. Why would such a country send a trans athlete? Because she isn’t trans.

            You aren’t talking about trans athletes, you’re talking about a woman who won a sport, and was demonized for being trans, and she isn’t even trans. The right wing had to make this shit up just so they would have a boogie man to be scared of.

        Hmmm maybe she’s not trans? Hmm?

        She’s a cis woman.

        Isn’t a little weird to focus on someone else’s genitals?

        Like really weird? Creepy even? Are you weird too?
