Pitch Mr. Perfect @michaelwaterloo.bsky.social · 30/07/2026it's my position that there is no good faith argument and people will use mental gymnastics as a way to try to justify their stance when it's really transphobia. It's not about trans athletes - it's about trans folx. 1300
c. jonathan scriven @cjscriven.bsky.social · 30/07/2026It feel like you are now playing the mental gymnastics. You are the one assuming it's 'not about trans athletes' but something bigger. But the word 'transphobic' has real implications and I am genuinely wondering if it is your contention that someone is 'transphobic' if they make this argument. 210
c. jonathan scriven @cjscriven.bsky.social · 30/07/2026And if the answer is "yes", just say so. If someone can support trans people in almost every other way, but draw the line at athletics (for a vareity of reasons -- competition? protecting women's sports?) are they transphobic? 400
