    Isn’t the whole pretext for banning trans athletes that they supposedly have an unfair advantage over cis athletes? Doesn’t that entire justification fall apart when the matches are scripted and pre-determined? What possible justification could there be for this other than bigotry?

      to be fair this is the same oklahoma that forced mack beggs, a trans man, to wrestle on the woman’s team and then got mad and used photos of him wrestling women as an attack against trans women…

      there’s not a lot of logic to transphobia

        Oh yeah, I remember that. A lot of MAGA chuds kept sharing that photo in Twitter thinking he was a trans woman and saying shit like, “does this seem fair?!?!” without realizing they were taking his side.
