All you knuckle-draggers who think biologically male trans athletes are doing female athletes a disservice by trying to get in on women’s sports need to wake up. As WIRED explains, you rubes need to stop whining and embrace these athletes’ “glorious victories”:

More from WIRED:
Transgender athletes are having a moment. At all levels of sport, they’re stepping onto the podium and into the headlines. New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard won two gold medals at the Pacific Games, and college senior CeCé Telfer became the NCAA Division II national champion in the 400-meter run. Another senior, June Eastwood, has been instrumental to her cross-country team’s success. At the high school level, Terry Miller won the girls’ 200-meter dash at Connecticut’s state open championship track meet.
These recent performances are inherently praiseworthy—shining examples of what humans can accomplish with training and effort. But as more transgender athletes rise to the top of their fields, some vocal opponents are also expressing outrage at what they see as transgender athletes ruining sports for cisgendered girls and women.
…
Where to draw the line between inclusiveness for transgender athletes and fairness for cis ones is an ethical question that ultimately requires value judgements that can only be informed, not decided, by science. Even basic notions of a level playing field aren’t easy to codify. Which means that at some point the question of who is a woman becomes a cultural inquiry: How athletically outstanding can a girl or woman be before we no longer see her as female?
In other words, gender is a social construct and people who think biological sex is determined by biology just don’t get it.
Apparently Wired has their virtue signals crossed.
Glorious victories

There's no appropriate response. None. None that wouldn't get you banned from here, that is.
