Frank came 6,171st out of more than 24,000 women in total. If all participants of the mass event are taken into account, Frank finished 21,617 out of 48,694
A solid middle of the pack performance.
I fucking hate that transphobia has made her feel like she can't compete until she passes.
Yeah, it's fucked. In total fairness, though, she'll still be guilty of existing while trans. Passing isn't really enough to douse the hate.
She can't compete with women. You were missing an important word there. The problem here is that her results are not even that competitive, and it leaves this unfairness feeling. We need solid criteria for allowing transgender women to participate on women support. I'm sure it is ok to allow some of them, but definitely not all of them. Compare it to certain phisique enhancing drugs. They are banned at sports. Now, imagine someone who used such drugs the whole life competing against people who did not. It makes sense to ban them as well. But we have half of population like that, so instead of banning we have divisions.
If it’s some "culture war" bs, just assume the opposite of what Fox News (or any reactionary outlet) claims
Christ, they have a stick so far up their asses that they have an issue with Levar Burton. Fox News doesn't deserve to exist
Their viewers want to be outraged, not informed. That sums up basically most issues with Fox news.
Used to date an avid runner. She had a participation medallion on a ribbon for every completed marathon. I'm pretty sure everyone who completes a 26-mile run gets one.
HOLD UP. ARE you telling ME that FOX NEWS purposefully manipulates headlines and news bits to suit a specific socio-political agenda and has been for decades?

Isn't it interesting that conservatives couldn't give two shits about women's sports unless a transgender woman is competing? They sure didn't care about women's sports when they were cheering the US Women's Soccer Team's World Cup defeat.
Apparently transgender women competing against cis women in sports makes the sports they don't like unfair.
Also, I never hear anything from them about transgender men competing in sports. Curious.
Trans woman: "I've been through lots of hardship where people are openly hostile toward me, even threatening my life. I've gone through difficult transition therapies and am even considering surgery. Everyday is difficult because of the social stigma around being a trans person but I persist because this is who I am and accepting that has benefited my mental health."
Fox news: "No, you just want to be good at sports which is unfair."
Not to mention that when it comes to sports all genetics are a crap shoot. Should the woman who was born with natural muscle mass, height advantage, proper bone structure, and high testosterone levels be barred from competing?

Faux "news"
What's the point of this post? Outside of slightly worsening everyone's day, that is?
And I thought Brazil's news reliability was bad...
