something something guilt something something weakness

Everyone needs a sicko to bounce ideas off of. It's necessary to survive any fandom ever.

I'm sorry I'm going fucking insane over trans people in sports issues the anti trans crowd has lost the fucking plot and then has the audacity to act like its the trannies who are ridiculous

I used to be of the "well the sports issue isn't really important to me its w/e I just don't want it to be a gateway into other transphobia" but oh my fucking god we are so far gone. The fencing shit is sending me over the edge. What the fuck.

I can't even articulate my words so I'm just going to tell a story in screenshots

I am so fucking tired of being gaslit about this

I'm also still so fucking pissed that we have to include "ooo the trans fencer only finished in X place" because its a reminder that trans women will never be allowed to excel at anything in the public eye without being cut down. Fuck OFF

I know the forfeiter, unfortunately she's from my fencing club. Everyone at our club agrees she did this purely for the spectacle, in a sport that's heavily steeped in sportsmanship and respect.

If she's ejected from the club (she might have been already, the club understandably probably won't issue a public statement) it'll be because she broke the rules in a direct, intention, and disgustingly public way. At tournaments, they don't just kick people out, she almost definitely was warned and told to go and fence, then refused again. The rules are unambiguous and everyone knows you can't refuse to fence. And thankfully USA Fencing already decided to officially allow trans athletes.

But she'll claim any repercussion she faces is for her politics, she'll describe herself as a victim and keep raking in conservative money. It's shitty, she's shitty, but thankfully most of the fencing community agrees on the absurdity of her claims. She regularly fenced in coed events, and it's ironic because the tournament allows grown adults to fence 14 year olds but she decided that including a trans woman was unfair. It's bigotry and looks idiotic, but she'll benefit because conservatives are deciding to be "woke" snowflakes about trans people

Credentials: I have fenced since 2009, I am a certified fencing referee, and I unfortunately know this woman
