    Please lecture us more about how unequal we should be and how we should “just take it” when the majority disagrees. /s

    Democrats spent next to no time or money defending us during this election, so maybe don’t blame trans folks for the bigotry thrust upon them. I could talk about how much muscle mass and other body changes brings most trans folks to (normally) on par with cis competitors, or how being discriminatory this way hurts cis women (because let’s be honest, it seems none of you chucklefucks think about trans men), especially if they have POTS or another endocrine disorder. But why bother at this point?

    We’re talking about NCAA sports here, often young teens and adults who very much haven’t finished puberty. There are only something like 10 trans people out of over 500k, and these bigoted shits wrote laws to call them invalid and unable to compete or play with their peers. This shit reeks of not wanting to let black folks compete because “they can run better” or some other racist shit.

    As for your “hill to die on” shit, when have I lost enough rights and privileges to be “acceptable”? What’s the next “hill” we shouldn’t supposedly die on? Maybe going to the bathroom in public restrooms? Perhaps we should be banned from social gatherings with cis women (again, y’all don’t care about men)? How about we segregate water fountains to make sure our filthy trans lips don’t touch pristine cis water?

    Sorry, I mean, you just “chose this hill to die on”. I hope this doesn’t “make you hate trans people” or “show how unhinged trans people are”. I know I should be thankful to be alive at all, since if I get too uppity we might start talking about whether or not my transness makes me unemployable or if I’m stealing jobs from women because of my unfair puberty advantages or something.
