is transgender day of visibility so we just want to wish our trans family the happiest days we love you we see you uh we know how trying these times are for you right now and just wanted to take a moment to say that and unfortunately we have to say that all in the same breath as a really

horrible rule that came out from the international olympic committee they've announced a new policy that they're calling i can't even believe they're calling it this because it has nothing to do with protecting women i feel like two people who played at the very highest level for every competition that you possibly could

don't agree with this and never felt like this was an issue at all, the protection of the female-bracketed women's category.

They're limiting people eligible to compete in the women's category to those who qualify as what they're calling, quote unquote, biological females.

This will require a once-in-a-lifetime screening of all women's athletes for the SRY gene

And if an athlete tests positive for this gene, they will have to compete in the male category.

We already know that biology, as much as we want it to be just nice and clean and tight and perfectly in one category or another, it's not.

We know that.

So now what we're doing is subjecting everybody, all women and all people who are identifying as women, to this really invasive testing.

That only to me just says like, oh, so we're just trying to whittle it down to a certain type of woman.

Is that what we're doing?

Like that's really the whole game here.

Like there's been, you know, they sort of like lost the battle on gay marriage and lost the battle on all these things.

So it's just like, we're going to have this whole campaign for all these years to just hate trans people, which is such a small percentage of the population.

It's actually like on a single hand when we're talking about sports and just like thread the absolute tightest needle thread that you possibly could.
