Hah, go figure. Russia’s connected to every right wing moral panic, it seems. From trump to migrants to using gender for the purpose of discrediting people of color. It’s always that idiot in Moscow.

Is it really transphobia if no trans athletes were involved? Or rather plain old misogyny?

They couldn’t find any trans people to be mad at so they made them up, to the detriment of two cis athletes. So, both.

It’s a side effect of transphobia- cis women who don’t look “feminine” enough getting attacked for not being women.

Ultraviolet ,

The root of it is transphobia because before the Olympics started, they predicted that because trans athletes are allowed like they have been for over 20 years, they’ll dominate every event despite that not happening before and nothing having changed recently. Since that didn’t happen, because admitting that they were wrong is very clearly not an option, they accuse cis athletes that they deem not sufficiently feminine of being trans. People who don’t really follow what’s going on but take the right wing position by default believe them, and it reinforces their biases, so it works as propaganda despite a complete lack of basis in reality.

The secret is, it is all transphobia, misogyny and racism

pyre ,

yes. first of all transphobia is very closely linked to misogyny, if not rooted in it.

but also if bigots were educated they would stop being bigots, so it’s a guarantee that they are fucking illiterate fuckwits.

and in being so you can’t really expect them to be accurate with their hatred; in fact they are specifically bad at telling people who aren’t like them apart which makes it very easy for them to target the wrong people.

post-covid cinophobia affected non-chinese asians, as post 9/11 islamophobia affected sikhs and other brown people, as transphobia so often affects cis women who may look a little less than traditional. i can keep going for all kinds of bigotry.

it doesn’t mean they’re not doing something in the name of hating a specific group just because they’re fucking idiots who don’t know who’s in that group or not.

    So what, are you defining what a woman is for the rest of the world or what? Why is it so important if you personally think someone looks like a woman or not?

    If your world view requires you to proactively hate people for disagreeing with it, as much as is happening here, you might want to reconsider your beliefs.

    artichokecustard ,

    my belief that your belief has little impact on the reality?
