so, stephanie turner—the fencer who took a knee & went on a media tour about it—cost a trans girl the chance to participate in society & did it for $5,000 cash, in addition to, i assume, paid speaking gigs with folks like riley gaines.
this is grifting. turner is a grifter. also a garbage person.

What a fundamentally shitty, empty human being.
🪿🪿 WHERE'D YOU GET THE IDEA TO KNEEL IN PROTEST FROM, MOTHERFUCKER?!? 🪿🪿
I know there are a few sports with impressive records from outlier women, like freediving, but I don’t know of any where the 80th percentile is more or less equal between the sexes.
It wasn’t even a real competition or anything iirc?? Literally what was the POINT
I usually can appreciate getting that bread any way that you have to if you’re strapped for cash but when it negatively impacts those around you, ESPECIALLY marginalized folks, that aint it
it was a reward for “courage” several days later. it’s in the articles.
turner knelt specifically because she is a trans woman.
this isn’t a gotcha. turner took a knee for bigotry.
Used to be only kings and the Catholic Church had the wherewithal for this kind of thing.
If the sport is too dangerous to do co-ed, it is too dangerous to do at all.
Fencing is only dangerous if you don't use or poorly maintain your gear.
The Riley Gaines path to success as a loser.
Fucking reprehensible.
this is also, and not incidentally, about adults molesting kids.
They want to be cruel, and violent, because hate rots your brains.
Like for fucks sake, they could at least try to be more convincing about it
Oh but WE'RE the groomers and p*dophiles, right? 🙄
Also, John Oliver did a great piece about this for newcomers to the issue.

I can tell you now that if either of my kids had this happen to them, especially without mine or my partner's knowledge, that person would have serious consequences, laws or no laws. Just saying.
Also wondering about "The bill, S.B. 456, would define sex based on whether a person produces eggs or sperm." ... if you are born with no ovaries, where are you allowed to be?
think that sucks? paying tuition? reach out!
the NCAA used to follow rules laid down by usa fencing—governed by an international body that allows trans fencers to compete. the NCAA’s shitty decision to follow the EO overrides usa fencing rules.
