    The cisgender-centred power around this story ignored the background of why this happened and the immense, traumatic impact on the trans community. I am only aware of one media organization that interviewed a person from the local trans community. And we must ask ourselves the question, would the outrage have been the same if the girl had been trans?

    Unfortunately, the answer is no.

    The answer is no because a lot of people feel like having transwomen in a women competition is not fair. That said, it wouldn’t matter in this case because this is 9-10 byears old sport event.

    This whole article is baiting major outrage because a man decided to be an asshole. This kind of article is the reason why so many people are a less and less sympathetic to LGBTQ stuff.
