adopting the worldview of "if you have literally any inherent advantage over the average competitor you should be disqualified because it's just not fair" with regards to a friendly entertainment-first competition that is fundamentally about showing the peak of human athletics. because of woke pronouns

chuds will literally say that this description with a straight face is exactly what communism represents and then throw a tantrum the second someone who is not a cishet WASP kicks their shit in. what happened to your little haplogroups and calipers big dawg you're supposed to be taking this shit on the chin oh wait it's literally just racial main character syndrome cool cool

I'm out of the loop, can someone provide context please?

Italian AFAB boxer fought against Algerian AFAB (who looks pretty masc, whatever that means) boxer in the olympics, but the Algerian was significantly stronger, not to mention heavier than the Italian, so after 2 punches she tapped out.

The picture is of the Italian fighter crying because they were, paraphrasing, 'the strongest punches i've felt in my life'. Chuds and transphobes everywhere are using this as an opportunity to cry about the swarthy hordes of men dressing up as women to beat up their white women, despite the fact that the famously transphobic olympic committee gave the greenlight for the Algerian athlete to compete, after a bunch of exams they do for all athletes came out normal.

All in all, a manufactured outrage that combines chuds' favorite thing: racism and transphobia, along with 'defend muh white women'

This all sounds super weird and I don't know what to make of it.

Even when two cis people are competing, trans people are still catching strays.

Now what?

Thank you for the explanation.
