The Women's World Cup is gonna be in Brasil because they're pure of heart and chosen by God (who is brazilian)

america “we believe in love” half time show whilst bombing various nations, wide scale mass corruption and supporting genocide

wta implementing sex testing is beyond fucked like this is such a blatant excuse to treat intense and invasive transmisogyny as if it’s normal and inherent to women’s sport; it’s not and never should be but it’s also naive to hope that anyone prevalent on tour will comment against it. of course this is going to be weaponized further against athletes of color and contribute to a normative “ideal” of femininity in a space where it ought to be entirely irrelevant

I am very concerned for the women who won't end up passing these tests (not even only trans women, if there are any, but also intersex women) because it's going to be made public and they are going to be harassed. It's such a horrible move by the wta. They, as always, don't care about their players' safety.

literally this is exactly what has happened when this kind of testing has been implemented before by the olympics. (i say "this kind" of testing as if that article wasn't an anti-scientific, non-specific load of bs) - because genetics are complicated and messy, chromosomal testing has only ever turned up cis women with undiagnosed intersex variations, up-ending their lives, identities and careers, and causing completely unnecessary harm all the way round.

Things often feel insurmountable but then you surmount them & don't really think about it that much afterwards
