For more than a week, conservative media and politicians have worked themselves into a frenzy over a spectacle manufactured by a fencer who refused to compete against a 19-year-old trans woman. Here is the target of that hate campaign, finally, in her own words.

Fencing may be a little outlier but then you should argue for it to go mixed instead.
Thats not what’s happening and ppl are trying to wriggle themselves into places they don’t (scientifically speaking) belong
Conservatives when a transwoman competes in a non-violent sport:
"OMG, that man is fighting a woman!"

Without having read the study, I wonder if the weapon matters. Some are quite a bit heavier than others.
once you have jkkk rowling and fox news on your side its time to kermit
Sorry, game over. Turner's a complete freak. Not one single shred of sympathy for someone who identifies her victims on a nazi hate site.
Or decimate her team as is tradition in the legions
Kneel Armstrong over there had no moral panic fencing actual men a week earlier, but felt compelled to treat a stranger like shit
Vice Signaling bullshit, fishing for a grifter gig.
death to our entire media class
Olympians are often 14-22, NCAA athletes are 17-22, etc.
god these people must shit themselves in fear so much
And before anyone objects to me calling the fascist, fascist... She reads Reduxx, the fascist news site that only hard weirdos even know about.
The only way you really fight this is
Besides, fascist or no, bigots are cowards. Their entire worldview is based on being afraid of everything even slightly unfamiliar.
There is even a constant awareness of the potential optics in the context of the current climate that affects how I play in the moment.
That's not what her record shows. Too bad evidence and facts don't matter anymore.

I hope she never fences again what a piece of shit
Fencers have also noted that no one films their pool bouts at a regional open--it was a setup.
If between 2 novices, I’d take the competitive FPS gamer who works out over a competitive bodybuilder every single time.
(I fence sinister often 😈)
Just a cheap target for cons.
It makes it crystal clear that no, it's not an earnest conversation about making competitive sports both fair and welcoming.
It's *only* about them wanting a society where trans people do not exist.
