After months of degrading transgender athletes under the guise of protecting women’s sports, right-wing media weirdos are suggesting the WNBA “embrace” the sexualization of its players
MAGA media personalities can’t stop talking about the WNBA — not because of the players’ athleticism, but because people keep throwing adult toys onto the court during games. After degrading transgender athletes under the guise of protecting women’s sports, right-wing media weirdos are once again demonstrating their utter disdain for women athletes by mocking the incidents and suggesting the WNBA “embrace” the sexualization of its players.
Of course they did, transphobia is one facet of misogyny.
Oppressing all women and policing gender expression is how they get their kicks.
“How dare they play sports and exist in public” and this is the next step.
When the very idea of wanting to become a woman is something you find horrifying, it speaks poorly of your view of women.
I think this is part of why transphobia against trans women is so much more loud and prominent than transphobia against trans men: to a misogynistic, it’s incomprehensible that someone would choose to sacrifice their male privilege and “downgrade” to live as a woman. It’s pretty sad that they think that way, because the cost of their own male privilege is a rigid adherence to hegemonic masculinity that’ll eat away at your soul, even if you’re a cis man.
Aaaaaaand saved. That’s good shit, my friend.
