Good luck on changing your email address everywhere. It is pretty tedious and after 1.5 years I realised last week that some essential service still is not migrated.

ON MARCH 30TH, A FENCER NAMED STEPHANIE TURNER FORFEITED A BOUT BECAUSE HER OPPONENT WAS TRANS. HER REFUSAL TO COMPETE DISQUALIFIED HER FROM THE COMPETITION. HERE'S THE THING, THOUGH: FENCING IS TYPICALLY A COED SPORT AT NON-ELITE LEVEL. TURNER HERSELF WAS COMPETING AGAINST CIS MEN (AND WON) A WEEK EARLIER. TURNER'S ACTIONS PROVE THAT NOTHING ABOUT THE "TRANS ATHLETES" MORAL PANIC IS ABOUT FAIRNESS. AFTER SHE MADE INTERNATIONAL HEADLINES, A CONSERVATIVE GROUP GAVE HER A $5000 "COURAGE" AWARD FOR HER UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT. HER TRANS OPPONENT WENT ON TO PLACE 24TH AT THE COMPETITION.
