Jeeze, if only there had been a group shouting from the rooftops that tolerating terf bullshit would lead to real-female purity tests. Damn. Who could have seen this coming.

Who has been tolerating terfs? Did I miss something?
Large parts of politics in most countries?
Fellow transphobes?
Not to be ignorant, but she's not even transgender, is she?
“[she] was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport.”
Yes, this is transphobia hurting a cis women, but because so many misidentify her as trans officials correctly fear it will have consequences for woman and LGBTQ+ athletes.
Throw it into the mountain of evidence that transphobes don't actually give a shit about "protecting women".
Some athletes and LGBTQ+ observers worry that hateful comments from critics — and the IOC failing to address a larger global conversation before the Olympics — have already started to vilify transgender, nonbinary and other LGBTQ+ people at an event championing inclusion.
You know, ten years ago, the international community dealt with similar matters since Putin and Sochi banned any gay representation, so a whole lot of athletes wore brightly colored uniforms, with Germany going over the top.
We should preserve that spirit and double down.
