I get the urgency to protect individual athletes and how this route feels like the most immediate way to do that. But throwing trans women under the bus—in addition to being wrong because it hurts trans women—only makes the rest of us more vulnerable in the long term

The way we win isn't by correctly phrasing our rebuttals to the people who hate us. It's by insisting on inclusion for all of our queer siblings

Damn didn't know you followed fitness influencer drama!

At the point where one player is saying trans women are a threat and her entire team, through their captain, says the opposite—which women is this bigotry protecting? The ones who look and think like Elizabeth Eddy, I guess. It really gives the whole game away

It's also just really bizarre how an outlet like Fox is able to frame this as "entire women's soccer team goes crazy from woke" instead of "most female athletes see trans and intersex inclusion as a nonissue"

Idk man she always came across as thoughtful and genuine when we talked. The brain rot goes so deep with this stuff

The curse will continue, I see
