To clarify, the pictured poster Caroline Kwan is an ally, not a TERF. The TERFs referred to in the title are the ones ‘protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is’

I told her the same thing. She should pitch it for the next Olympics. She'd be 14 when that happens. Gives her four years to plan.

You should watch Takeshis Castle then. It's pretty close to normie olympics.

Sometimes athletes go on, but the obstacles are so fucky even they struggle with it.
