yes it is. when sikhs got terrorized it was still islamophobia, and when cis men are bullied for being effeminate it’s still misogyny and/or homophobia.
what do you mean feeding the trolls? this is not trolling. this is transphobes being brain broken and paranoid so they’re transvestigating cis people. fucking jowling kowling took part in it.
it’s not trolling, it’s bigotry. you don’t stay silent on bigotry.
In my opinion you don’t get sympathy points for being incompetent at transphobia. They were treating her like shit because they hate trans people. The fact that she’s not trans doesn’t change that.
“mainstream media” - you mean like this echo chamber?
I literally never would have heard of this nonsense if if wasn’t for Lemmy. So yes, i would gladly have ignored the stupidity for what it is, stupid.
Acknowledge the stupidity of it and move on. I’d much rather talk about the thousands of good things that the Olympics bring out. Like her winning after likely practicing her fucking ass off and putting life on hold for this one dream.

It was widely reported on, including probably whatever newspapers you read, even if you didn’t read the story. You not reading it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a widely known about event of the 2024 Olympics.

Okay, so go do that instead of coming into a thread about a gold medal Olympian facing transphobia to complain that people are acknowledging it.
It is absolutely tranphobia. They’re accusing her of being trans and cheating.
Transphobia is often directed at cis women who aren’t classically beautiful. It’s why transphobia is often also a form of misogyny. And why TERFs are morons who are only hurting themselves.
Is it transphobia when she isn’t trans? Stop feeding the trolls. I bet she didn’t ask anybody for opinions either way.
Good for her on winning
Yes, transphobia can be aimed at cis people, just as it’s still homophobic to call a straight man a f*g.

Like what? The newspapers that called her trans and said she didn’t have any place in the sport??
So should bigotry just be ignored then, even when it’s mainstream? Just look the other way?
