The rights obsession with people's genitals reaches a new low

It's interesting to imagine flipping this scenario around. Let's suppose I'm AMAB with XX chromosomes (not super uncommon) and male genitalia. I present as "traditionally male" in every way. Would they be OK with me competing in women's sports? I'm thinking not, because none of this is at all in good faith. It's just about excluding people who don't meet their totally arbitrary standards for what women are "supposed" to look and act like.
works with trans athletes too. the transphobes don't want trans women competing with women, but I bet you they also don't want trans men competing with cis women. Do they want both trans men and trans women to compete against cis men? Do they want trans athletes banned entirely and unable to compete?

That's the one.
they want trans people to stop existing
It's honestly crazy af. Btw we are talking about female fighters. Idk I follow MMA and it feels like every other female fighter is at least a bit queer. Tons of gay relationships. Even some of the fighters who like, aren't explicitly out as queer present in a way that plays with gender. Like this is SO common. Like Jesus Christ if you don't want to see queer presenting women don't watch women's fighting.
Fwiw I get all my trans friends to watch MMA with me because we all love how queer WMMA is. Shame that mens MMA is so homophobic honestly

that sounds like a blast
Oh it's so fun. Really it's just an excuse to get a bunch of my friends to hang out. A few of them have actually taken to like, following the sport. It is really fun though also cheap
