Serious question: when you say "but she's not a man so she shouldn't have ever been swimming with them," what does that mean? Was she not biologically male (with all perceived physical superiorities) at that time? I'm not starting shit or laying a trap or anything like that. I genuinely want to know what you mean by that.
As for your last sentence, do you think trans women should be allowed to compete in ALL sports with cisgendered women? What about things like MMA?
I'd just stay in Philly and check it out. DC is great, but it's a separate trip. And there's some good places to eat in DC but COVID really knocked a hole in it. Independence Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art are both cool.
If you're itching to take advantage of being on the East Coast, Philadelphia is about halfway by train between DC and NYC, so you can really do just about anything.
I think it stands for the proposition that a truly mediocre biological male swimmer can completely dominate women's athletics and can only be beaten by some of the absolute best times ever recorded.
My favorite line in the whole movie is when Frank runs into his ex-wife at the grocery store and she says it's been what, a year, and she's been busy. He says he has been busy too. When she asks what he's been doing, his response is "I tried to join a gym."
Fucking amazing.
First law of trans/homophobia: with minor exceptions for some religious figures, the more that your public agenda focuses on eradication of homosexuality et al., the more likely it is you eat dicks in the closet.
All I did was intentionally mischaracterize your statement, attribute it to you as a direct quotation, and then use it as a straw man to advance my own agenda. What's wrong with that?
