Seriously? We’re in a trans community, and you’re saying it’s cool to criticize physical aspects of a person over which they only have so much control?
That’s such a dumb assertion. Sure there are some athletes that have inborn physical advantages in some sports but the vast majority of athletes are just regular people that train very hard. Also even those innate physical advantages will not make it a guarantee that someone wins in that sport, they still need to put in the work in training before they can take advantage of them.
For example, even though Michael Phelps has a longer than average arm span that doesn’t mean he can jump in the water with no training and win the Olympics. The man wouldn’t have gotten all those medals if he didn’t train constantly since he was 11.
And yet again, my issue was with attacking them for the athletic showing, not for their shitty attitude and blame shifting - feel free to go off on that bullshit. You’re right in almost everything you said, you just misinterpreted what I was trying to say.
