I had left Twitter because leadership was just enabling too much awfulness but I've come to realize Threads is enabling pretty bad stuff, fellow Meta owned site Instagram won't even delete clearly abusive content and also Meta product Facebook of course is Facebook...
I am furious @pwhl__detroit
Supported Manon Rhéaume for a long time.
Signing Curl is a betrayal of trans people when she is such a noted bigot in a league where very few people are so OPENLY hateful.
Was honored to have Rhéaume's image/autograph on my sports wall. No more.
Since the Sun are leaving, I will cheer them on at home, but my other teams on when the Sun are away, so this game is frustrating from a Sky perspective already.
@hiverhuit Woah. Here I am absolutely serious, there was not enough media devoted to the character. This should have been a bigger deal throughout time. I had no idea there were games.
Now I'm going to ask a predictable and disappointing question. Did she get captured like in the books?🙃
PWHL will market a certain player but they don't want to RECRUIT trans, enby, & trans-enby players. PWHL wants nothing codified. They want to wave the progress flag while not standing up to Trump, Republicans, and committees Bettman sits on are trying to restrict those athletes.
So many have said it before recently, and I was saying it since the PWHL was founded. Where is the gender inclusion policy? Mark Walter and co. want to practice "vague pride" which is where they say they support LGBTQ+ people but if you ask how they vanish in a cloud of smoke.
But not without caution. The original incarnation of the team was a trash fire, and the organization did show it had learned, but I am not so easy to trust. I want them to succeed, but I'm cautious.
Gotham FC will always be my top NWSL team, first loyalty period, but I follow multiple teams for multiple reasons and the Spirit, Angel City, and Pride all have my fandom (send me a notarized letter with your disagreements), but also I've decided to give the Legacy a chance.
Neutral in the W and Wheelchair matches so watching along Roland Garros today. Tomorrow am definitely breaking out the ropes and not watching Zverev because FUCK THAT GUY. Don't want to curse Mensik.
