      Children’s classrooms

      Heaven forbid a child be near a trans person. They could catch it!

      🙄 🙄 🙄

      You’re not protecting anyone with this, devoid of reality, biology, statistics of who attack children and scientific studies on trans athletes, you are simply taking an opportunity to persecute. This is exactly the type of fear mongering nonsense I was talking about.

      If that’s your first thought when the issue of trans rights comes up, your priorities are seriously fucked.

      Studies show that transfem athletes perform on par with cisgender feminine athletes. Do some research before you spout bigotry.

        Absolutely 100% incorrect. If a male has gone through puberty they have physical advantages over females that can never go away.

        As a good example, take Anne Andres the trans woman powerlifter. At the Canadian Powerlifting Championships her total lift weight was 200kg more than her nearest female rival. The female 2nd place getters total weight was less than 400kg, and Anne beat that by 200kg. Anne set new canadian records in all 4 womens events at this championship, and also set the unofficial womens world record for two of them.

        Anne also posted a video on instagram mocking the “other women” weighlifters and asked why they’re all so bad at bench press, unlike her. Gee, I wonder why?

        There are zero actually reputable scientific studies that will say that trans female athletes that have gone through male puberty “perform on par” with female athletes because it’s just not true.
