First “out trans player” at Women’s World Cup

No.

Is she on testosterone?

If this non-binary shit actually meant anything, Quinn would have respectfully declined a place on the team, on account of the Mens/Womens competitions representing a binary division. Which Quinn couldn't possibly have anything to do with, being definitely not a man or a woman.

I therefore conclude that non-binaryness is a load of old bollocks.

It shows people who watch sport that you can be non-binary and still play fantastic sport.

It's a personal belief system - makes as much sense as saying "You can be a Hindu/vegan/Lib-Dem supporter and still play fantastic sport".

It's not a physical challenge or limitation that would affect your playing in any way, like being e.g. blind, diabetic or 93 years old.

Yup, it’s a bait and switch. We’ve seen it before.

So skinny little transwomen like Dylan Mulvaney are seen as the acceptable face of “be kind”. Object to this tiny weird person using your toilets and changing rooms! Goodness me, they would be more likely to give you a quick make up fix and some maybelline samples than threaten you or hurt you, stop being so transphobic, they are just trying to live their brave life and perfect their cats eye liner flick.

Except that next time it’s not an underweight little Dylan clone in the changing room with you, it’s a six foot tall man in pink satin and a doubtful wig with a police record of sexual assaults and other violence against women, or a man whose sexual fetish about being a woman means they think they are entitled to have access to changing rooms where 16 year old competitive swimmers are changing, or a misogynist TRA who thinks wanking over the toilet seat will persuade mouthy women to get back in their boxes.

Quinn recommends practising using gender neutral pronouns in front of a mirror.

The weirdest bit is when they call it historic.

As if in fifty years time it will be a pub quiz quiz

"Name the first non binary player at a world cup"

The BBC article seems to go out of its way to use the "they" pronoun as much as possible? Pronouns did feature heavily in Quinn's 'coming-out' statement ("1. put your pronouns in your bio"; "3. practice using gender-neutral pronouns in a mirror/with friends").

The parochial hyperbole of Quinn's manager saying Quinn is "making the world a much more inclusive place".

What I have found particularly frustrating is the number of people in the various comments of this story who clearly don’t get it.. “So, failed in the men’s team so took a place off a real woman”.. “Canada should be banned, this is cheating”. . “They need a separate category for people like him”. When of course the actual story is “Biological female with short hair plays in the correct sex category for their sport”. Really doesn’t help the gender critical side of the argument to be lumped in with people like that with no reading comprehension.. and of course Quinn is doing exactly the right thing:playing in their sex category and not taking hormones.

I n June, they (Quinn) took the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) - the league in which they play for OL Reign - to task for "problematic" policies on trans players, which do not mention non-binary athletes.
"I hope the organisation can find space during their Pride celebrations this month to understand and educate themselves on the limitations of their policy," Quinn wrote on Twitter.

So Quinn is an activist who is wanting NWSL to embed the right for non-binary individuals to play, and non-binary can be both male or female. The article goes all around the houses without mentioning the conflict between trans players and female sports.

What everyone is forgetting is that almost all the WWC squads are trans players (whether they are aware of it or not) because football is a mans game. So Quinn isn't even speshul. Only the Americans are non-trans cos there its a woman's game. Simples 😏

Cake and eat it, as always. Quinn says that Quinn is "nonbinary" which, unless theres a new definition since i went to bed last night, means that Quinn says that Quinn is neither male now female. So why does Quinn want to play in the women's team?

In realityland, we all know Quinn is female and as long as she's not doping, she should indeed be in the women's team.

BUT when we argue that men should also play in the team for their sex we are doing a genocide. Which is is?!

Or am I coming from the wrong angle? The sports argument seems to be to have men's sport for "manly" men and "women's" sport for everyone else.

literal violence. You've misgendered they!!

Think they are basically a butch Lesbian. Nothing wrong with that! most enbee identified people that look like them seem to be. I do find the use of them confusing though. To me is just means plural :(

The UK commentator for Canada's first game repeatedly referred to Quinn as 'she' which was refreshing. Haven't seen any calls for him to be sacked or punched in the face yet, oddly...

I don't see why it's a story that someone that claims not to identify with femininity can play sport.

We all know that someone like that can play sport.

What, is it going to magically stop her legs working?

Stealing a great response from Twitter...

Sorry but this is insensitive. Non-binary people suffer from extreme self-centredness which makes playing team sports almost impossible.

So they are a female playing in a female team? What’s wrong with that? Nothing, as far at I’m concerned. I do take issue when a hairy 6’4” rugby player called Tiffany Unicorn Leilani wants to play in a female team but needs to tuck her cock and balls away first.

You seem to have committed a misgendering?

Unless my nana is correct and ‘she’ is indeed the cat’s mother?

I’m merely pointing out Quinn’s inconsistency!

Either you are an adult human female (ie a woman) and thus belong in the Womens’ sporting category or you aren’t.

Quinn says Quinself isn’t a woman ¯(ツ)_/¯

The argument against trans people in sport is based entirely on sex chromosomes (it seems to me) so where else would they play? surely this is where they would play??
honestly - consistency please

I doubt very much that she is the instigator of this press coverage
