This is no surprise, but worth a reminder that the next Olympics and next World Cup are both in the US

Happening live: Donald Trump is expected to sign a far reaching executive order banning trans people from sports, which can range from disc golf to darts and even dancing and chess, in mere moments.

I'll be covering it live. Watch along with me:

No other country should show.

They should do in a previous location.

It's not like it's a safe place. Not unless you have a certain amount of money and have skin the color of paste.

transsomething.bsky.social•18 days ago

That's true, although frankly there is zero chance of any country doing anything

thatnicelotionlady.bsky.social•18 days ago

It sucks for the athletes that have trained their ENTIRE lives for it.

But that's why a move is called for, that way it wasn't a waste.

Just waiting for the ban to include those watching.

He's specifically putting pressure on the IOC

Can't wait for the "finally the right sort of genocidal maniacism" from the usual suspects tomorrow. Ingle, Brown etc

2patchitup.bsky.social•18 days ago

Ingle will be having a celebratory drink tonight. Lord Coe will be looking at this and probably use it in his bid to run the IOC.

transsomething.bsky.social•18 days ago

He's already doing that work anyway tbf.

2patchitup.bsky.social•18 days ago

I know, I just think he'd probably stick this news in his pitch to the IOC.

transsomething.bsky.social•18 days ago

Given I'm on a bunch of the US anti-trans sport related hate lists, do you think I'm banned from the US now

concerned-person.bsky.social•18 days ago

If it goes ahead in America it will be the Hitler Olympics. Sadly with Coe at the helm, as a Nazi, he'll happily be there.

Fuck America, fuck the UK.

Yeah massive 1936 vibes

sarahplainandtired.bsky.social•18 days ago

Fuck. I forgot we were hosting the Olympics. Now we are explicitly not safe for Trans athletes. I hate it here.

transsomething.bsky.social•18 days ago

Luckily there basically aren't any, but that's incredibly limited relief isn't it

sarahplainandtired.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yeah. There is a smidge of relief there (with an underlying base of sorrow).
