Buddy I think a cis woman could beat a cis male bodybuilder in sports. You will not get me

many people in these notes are revealing how they truly don't believe afab people are capable of beating amab people at Any sports due to their fragile bird bones delicate skin and and trying to make it seem like i'm feeding afab people to lions in the coliseum. you people are not only wrong but more importantly you are Stupidt

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.

You know, if she hadn't completely fucked up her job in this episode, one suspects her career would not have survived The One With the Nazis from the next season
