This one doesn’t contain any violence - it’s just a woman standing up against an entitled trans identified male and that should be applauded:

For clarity - this was the WOMENS world championships. 

 I repeat. Women’s. 

 Congratulations to the brave faces of silver & bronze. The world is gripped by a febrile madness. - @KTHopkins 

I was the 3rd place rider. It’s definitely NOT fair. - @jkwagnermd

Further proof that to be TERF is to be misogynistic as hell.

They aren’t even pretending they aren’t perpetuating myths about women being worse than men at everything. They’re just straight up ignoring the achievements of female athletes, trans AND cis, to pretend that being a man makes you better at things.

Like… yikes.

Welcome to science class, I know, “yikes” says the child.

Ohio University biological sciences lecturer Chris Schwirian : “Men, on average, have a greater muscle mass – and a larger portion of it is fast-twitch, which allows them to generate greater force, speed and anaerobically produced energy. At all distances beyond 800 meters, the main reason for the gap is men’s higher aerobic capacity [VO₂max], on average, which is due to their typically having less body fat, more hemoglobin and muscle mass, and larger hearts and lungs than women.”

On average, men have longer and larger bones, which gives them mechanical advantages over women, since they have greater leverage, increased height and larger frames to support muscle. Their bones are also more dense, and they have tougher ligaments, making them less prone to sports injury.

Men are bigger and have more muscle mass. It’s not rocket science, it’s human biology 101. The skeleton is different as well. Which is why archeologists can tell if a person was a man or a woman without looking at their genitals. Your sex is not just your genitals, it’s your whole body.  If a healthy man and a healthy woman train the same way the man is still going to develop more muscle mass. 

Intense sport training also tends to stop girls’ growth (especially in gymnastics). Which means female athletes are often quite small in height therefore the size difference between men and women is even more important in sports.

On the other hand, women are more flexible ; if a man and a woman train the same way, the woman will be more flexible. Still using figure skating as an example, the best and most flexible male figure skater in the world still won’t even come close to women’s flexibility.

That’s sex differences for you. Doesn’t take away anything from both athletes, both are capable of being great. But the reason women and men are seperate in sport is because they are not equal biologically. “not equal” does not mean there is a moral value attached to it. Women can menstruate, men can’t. Not equal. Men’s shoulders are placed higher than women. Not equal. 

Your politics allow for men who would never win anything if they were to compete against other men, to steal the victory from women and to put them in danger.

The misogyny is destroying women’s sports and putting them in danger.
