Hmm, maybe “misgendering” is a good distraction from “piss poor performance“.
I've said it before but I think we are very much being played with the choices of TW that are competing at the games. They seem to have been carefully picked to set the precedent without sparking mass outrage - they are in minority/ lower profile events, they are unlikely to win/ get on the podium, they are in non contact sports so no nasty injuries to explain away, they are mostly in events that favour strong/ tall women so there is less visual contrast. It's almost as if they have been carefully selected so the TRAs can say our concerns are invalid, there is no danger, there is no physical advantage, there is no mass public outcry (because people aren't allowed to point out that there is a man competing in the female category) and the IOC can pat itself on the back, say that went jolly well, we were right to be inclusive. The TWs in Tokyo are sheep in wolves clothing they aren't the threat to women sports that we fear because they are too old, too new to their sport or just generally not good enough to succeed even in the wrong category but these are just the Trojan horses, they are there to sneak through the games largely unnoticed, without stirring up a huge fuss, to silence the desenting voices. Paris will be a whole different ball game.
