Figure today's as good a day as ever to re-up this 2019 piece I wrote about how trans people get dragged into debates over intersex athletes (who aren't trans) and vice versa, fairness, etc.

There are zero trans women competing in the Olympics this year. Now transphobes have moved on to screaming at people who were born female and raised as girls for likely having a genetic abnormality they weren't aware of. This is how it goes, I guess!

Here's the thing: if you DNA test every world class female athlete, I bet a disproportionate (compared to the general population) % have some sort of intersex trait most aren't aware of.

Demanding expensive mass testing of all athletes and then running around calling them all "men" isn't really a reasonable approach, but whatever. Anyway, none of this has anything to do with trans people, so leave trans people out of your outrage of the day.

Side note: I think my initial headline suggestion was "myth of the even playing field," not "myth of the uneven playing field," which makes more sense, tbh
