As a dad of a tom-boyish girl obsessed with football who plays u10s, this is both extremely depressing and entirely unsurprising.
absolutely horrific story, and belies the misogyny inherent in so much anti-trans sports stuff: the absolute disbelief that a girl or woman could be just be great at something, and the assertion that there's only one way for girls and women to look
the poor child could be scared off playing
the poor child could be scared off playing
Genuinely mental story. The obvious intersection of trans panic and deranged sports parents: adults gleefully bullying the shit out of a kid

Does anyone else act out (in their heads) a Tour de France-style post-race mixed zone interview after they’ve gone for a run or a swim?
“Credit to the lads today, but I just didn’t have the legs,” I say as I drag myself out of the pool after a few pathetic lengths.

Indonesia tried something similar, only with Patrick Kluivert, & almost pulled it off too
