Look, I don't give a damn about sports, never have. I am probably the least athletic human on the planet. But I keep seeing these transphobes casually say that trans men can't compete against cis men and I am furious.

First, it's false. Trans men want to compete against cis men, they do compete against cis men, and they win against cis men. The one trans Olympic athlete was a trans man who beat enough cis men well enough to be an Olympic qualifier. More info here:https://www.insidehook.com/article/sports/trans-athletes-win-boys-sports …

So, there's no question on the facts, here. Trans men play sports against other men and are competitive. But transphobes just CASUALLY AS FUCK will say we can't. Because they're sexist. Uninformed, have no idea about the facts, don't care about the facts, and sexist.

In the sexist transphobe worldview, two X chromosomes are so permanently debilitating they don't even have to bother checking if trans men beat cis men in sports all the time... they know in their hearts we couldn't possibly.

Transphobes think trans men are weaklings. They think we're incapable. They think we're inferior. They think an extra X chromosome is such an incapacity that nothing could ever overcome it. But literally just a bit of testosterone and we're fine. We compete. We win. It's nbd.

It makes me sick. Trans men are equal to cis men! Trans men aren't women. But women are equal to men too, BY THE WAY. Two X chromosomes doesn't make one a weakling. Fuckin' sexist transphobes. /end

He did not qualify he competed in an Olympic trial and had to withdraw from injury.

He qualified to be in an Olympic trial... that's what an Olympic qualifier is. See, in sports, everyone wants to go to the Olympics. But not everyone can! So they have these competitions to decide who qualifies. And anyone who qualifies is an Olympic level athlete. Get it?
