It’s actually really important to have respectful moderate sources that still use pronouns and support Trans rights and the rest of it because this is a gateway issue for progressive, liberal people who can still see this isn’t fair.
6 months ago I would have been horrified by anything “terfy.” Literally just yesterday in a work related chat people started going on about JK Rowling and how awful she is because someone made a HP related reference and everyone felt the need to demonstrate how much they support TW. These are the cultures so many of us move in. So you can’t show someone an article that admits Lia is a man or they’ll just tell bigot and not engage.
For liberal people, having the convo where you support trans people but recognize sports does have a biological basis is really helpful. It definitely peaked me - and I’ve been peaking my super liberal sister. We started with the swimmer, and now she sent me a tweet about calling women uterus-havers etc. and was like “makes you think.” She’s in a job where you literally introduce yourself with your pronouns, but she’s starting to get fed up. She was bringing up Yaniv the other day too.
So this issue really can bring women in. Really, LT is so huge and male looking and it’s so blatantly unfair that only the most radical ideologues can support it. But if things look too “transphobic” it pushes people away. I mean, look at me, now I’m posting on the dreaded mumsnet because when this issue happened I kept seeing people make reference to here so I came looking to see what it’s all about. And now I’m reading about AGP. But be patient with people!
