I had always been really nervous about being a HS wrestler pre top surgery, cause I was stealth but still had to wear binding tape (cause you can’t exercise in a binder). But then I learned about gynecomastia, where cis guys go through puberty and grow lots of extra breast tissue. So when I had matches in my singlet, guys would ask about what the tape was for and I could just say I had gyno and was self conscious about it. And after top surgery this summer, if anyone asks about scars I can just say I got my gyno removed. So for any stealth trans mascs out there dealing with peoples questions about binders/tape, just say you have gynecomastia! Cause cis guys can have tits too!

Hunter Keefe, bib 10, at the Ceremonial Start and ReStart of Iditarod 52. The fan favorite who barely missed being rookie of the year in Iditarod 51 had a rough second time on the trek to Nome. While heading to the Western Coast of Alaska he was forced to scratch after one of his dogs expired due to unknown reasons (test results are still pending, a necropsy came back inconclusive). Rules state that a musher who has a dog expire must scratch if the death is not due to an outside force (drunk on snow machine, homicidal moose, etc). Before having to scratch Hunter was well on his way to having a similar finish to his rookie run, and was running in 10th place. His season of racing had been a solid, and he is known for his excellent dog care. Before the Iditarod began he was excited to have drawn bib number 10 as that's the number he wore the year he dressed up as an Iditarod Musher for Halloween as a child.

Keefe and team rallied a few weeks later for a final race of the season traveling to Kotzebue to run the Kobuk 440. The musher stated his team was too good of a dog team to finish on a sour note and that they deserved to run. They came in second place behind Jessie Holmes.

Soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe expresses strong support for transgender athletes

In a recent Time cover story interview, Megan Rapinoe said  that she “absolutely” would accept a trans woman on the United States women's national soccer team.

The two-time defending soccer World Cup champion despises policies designed to keep transgender girls and women from playing on female sports teams:

“We as a country are trying to legislate away people’s full humanity... It’s particularly frustrating when women’s sports is weaponized ...Oh, now we care about fairness? Now we care about women’s sports? That’s total bullsh-t. And show me all the trans people who are nefariously taking advantage of being trans in sports. It’s just not happening...

“The most amazing thing about sports is that you play and you’re playing with other people, and you’re having fun and you’re being physically active. We’re putting this all through the lens of competition and winning. But we’re talking about people’s lives. That’s where we have to start.”

According to Time Rapinoe believes that questioning transgender participation in women’s sports, as Martina Navratilova and ESPN anchor Sage Steele have done, does harm that reaches far beyond the athletic field:

“I don’t want to mince words about it. Dave Chappelle making jokes about trans people directly leads to violence, whether it’s verbal or otherwise, against trans people. When Martina or Sage or whoever are talking about this, people aren’t hearing it just in the context of elite sports. They’re saying, ‘The rest of my life, this is how I’m going to treat trans people.’”

Would Rapinoe embrace a transgender woman on the U.S. women’s soccer team, even if that woman took the place of someone assigned female at birth? Her answer: 

 “Absolutely. You’re taking a ‘real’ woman’s place,’ that’s the part of the argument that’s still extremely transphobic. I see trans women as real women. What you’re saying automatically in the argument—you’re sort of telling on yourself already—is you don’t believe these people are women. Therefore, they’re taking the other spot. I don’t feel that way.”

I wish I didn't know that Fallon Fox actually had a middling career in women's MMA and lost to the only fighter she went up against that had a positive win/loss record.

I wish I didn't know that orbital rim fractures are one of the most common injuries in MMA.

I wish I didn't know that Veronica Ivy's world record was specifically set in the 35-39 age bracket.

I wish I didn't know that her record was beaten three months later by a cis woman.

I wish I didn't know that those two trans girls in Connecticut bombed at regionals, and that the only reason they broke so many records at their school is because the school was severely lagging behind the rest of the state.

I wish I didn't know Lia Thomas' name.

I wish I lived in a world where when my supposed "allies" saw headlines that say "trans woman crushes a woman's skull in mma" that they didn't respond with "okay well maybe the bigots have a point this time".

Maybe, if they didn't always respond that way, I wouldn't have to know half of the things I know about other trans women athletes.

Maybe they would stop seeing women like me as a problem to be solved.

Damn that would be nice.

Ya know, if I was beat by a trans person at my sport, I'd just assume it was because they were better than me and not be a fucking sore loser lmao

Transphobes can’t name a single professional women’s sports team without using Google unironically

Hell, they can’t name a single woman athlete who isn’t Riley Gaines because she’s the most obnoxious about her transphobia

If transphobes ever got their wish and all trans athletes stopped existing, they still wouldn’t give a shit about women’s sports. Their “care for women’s sports” has always been performative at best, and nothing more than a tool for their agenda

as a trans skater, AJ knows the importance of safe spaces. so, when all the other indoor skateparks around town just didn’t feel welcoming to femme, queer, and other minority skaters, he took matters into his own hands and created Stronger Skatepark.

Female transgender athletes at a disadvantage study claims

A study funded by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has revealed that transgender female athletes face physical disadvantages compared to cisgender women across various measures.

This research indicates that physically active transgender women exhibit poorer performance in specific cardiovascular tests and possess less lower-body strength than their cisgender counterparts.

Contrary to earlier assertions, the study conducted by researchers at the University of Brighton also concludes that the bone density of transgender women is comparable to that of cisgender women, a factor closely linked to muscle strength.

The research paper says that :

"While longitudinal transitioning studies of transgender athletes are urgently needed, these results should caution against precautionary bans and sport eligibility exclusions that are not based on sport-specific (or sport-relevant) research."

Yahoo! Sports has more.

Ok, but anyone who volunteers to do these “inspections” needs to be placed on a watch list. Instantly.

This is a recipe for disaster.

And all the kids, trans or not, are going to be terrified of this. And they can’t say no?l?
