@UN_Women goes to bat for…men displacing women in sport, I guess.
Trans and intersex athletes often face discrimination in competitive sports, including being banned from events and stripped of their achievements. Let’s show our support and tell the world to #LetThemPlay!
Do they though? When, where?
Maybe trans men are banned from playing US football – the kind that specializes in concussions – for safety reasons? I don’t know, but if that is the case…is it discrimination or is it safety?
But what we’ve been seeing lately is the opposite: men who claim to be women being allowed, and indeed encouraged, to compete against women, using their physical advantages to win all the prizes.
Why is @UN_Women cheering that on?

Nobody complains about letting them play. We only complain about letting them play against women.
A lie. Banned from events reserved for the female sex, and stripped of achievements won while competing with an unearned advantage. There, much better.
I really don’t think intersex people are being banned; that AMAB/AFAB that FeMRAs were using is on their bloody birth certificates…
