just so we're clear, going at the anti-trans-women-in-sports folks with arguments like "there are no trans women in the wnba anyway so what does it matter" or worse, "there are plenty of trans women in sports who don't succeed at all" is not a productive means of doing so.
if a trans woman played in the wnba, the argument does not change. if a trans woman was the best player in the world, the argument does not change.
scientifically, a medically transitioned trans woman has no inherent physical advantages that are not also available to a cis woman. all elite athletes have physical advantages compared to the average person. trans and cis women are no different in this regard. thus, a trans woman's success in sport would not differ from a cis woman's, and would not "prove" this crowd right (but the fact that they'll act like it does, is exactly why you should not be using this argument to begin with).
trans women belong in women's sports and deserve the opportunity to succeed at the highest level. there is no debate.

*every single* argument against trans athletes in sports was used against black people in sports. every single line. they have an unfair genetic advantage, they're taking spots from white athletes, they're making it unsafe. all of it

@DiscussingFilm@martianliveson I saw a tweet about this deleted scene a month ago that said “a hard truth in life is that some people we really care about have moved on from us, and we will never see them again” and I feel like that person really got why Jessie’s story in TS5 worked. We didn’t need this.
There’s a woman on TikTok who starts every video by saying, ‘Hi, I’m a lesbian, and I show you how to do things men pretend are difficult.’
