Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

They have been banning cis women from female athletics as well because they were deemed not womanly enough. So it isn't exactly new.
It's important to note that this only applies to women (especially black women). When Michael Phelps has lactate levels twice as high as his competitors and literal webbing between his fingers or when Usain Bolt's limbs exactly match the length for ideal leverage when running, nobody gives a fuck, then they're just celebrated as superheros and competitors without their physiological advantage have to suck it up that the olympic level of their sport is completely dominated by one person. But when a trans woman scores 14th place in a disc golf tournament, or when Lia Thomas wins one competition and improves her ranking from 60th place in the men's national ranking to 48th place in the women's national ranking, we have to pretend that bigots demanding genital inspections for highschool girls is "a complicated issue" and not a reason to feed the bigots into a woodchipper.
you what
I believe it isn't too uncommon (pls correct if wrong) for some babies to have connective tissue form 'webbing' between their digits, so doctors normally just cut it away and all is well.
