Me: *wearing a Save Girls' Sports shirt*
A mom: Hey. Excuse me. Hi. Um, would you mind covering that shirt with something?
A mom: Because itās a controversial topic and some of the athletes might be offended by it. Itās not appropriate to wear to a sports meet.
Me: So? I donāt see a problem with it.
A mom: Well, a lot of people would, so Iām asking you nicely to cover it up. Please.
Me: Why are YOU so bothered by it? Itās just a shirt.
A mom: Itās a sensitive subject for a lot of people. Itās offensive and disrespectful to some of the athletes.
Me: Like who? Point them out to me.
A mom: I want you to cover up your shirt.
Me: No. I donāt have to do anything you tell me. I donāt even know you. There is nothing wrong with my shirt. Youāre not in charge here. Youāre just a mom.
A mom: Maybe so, but I can get security over here to escort you out if I wanted to. You are being very disrespectful to the athletic community.
Me: Yeah, like who? Transgender athletes? Because boys have no right competing in girlsā sports. I suppose youāre gonna tell me that your son identifies as a girl, is that it? Is that why youāre so butthurt over my shirt? It hurts his little boy-feelings? I am not taking off this shirt. Itās the only one I brought.
A mom: My child IS a girl. She identifies as a girl. YOU have no right to dictate where MY child should be competing! Your shirt is a symbol of transphobia and bigotry, and I am not going to tolerate anyone coming in here and calling MY child a boy! Have sympathy for othersā feelings!
Me: āFEELINGS.ā Itās always FEELINGS. Try again, sweetie. I speak FACTS. Girlsā sports are for BIOLOGICAL GIRLS ONLY, and it needs to STAY that way! Men already have their own category; they have no right to weasel into OUR spaces and invade OUR sports! Men and women are separate for a REASON! Your SON has no business playing on a team built for GIRLS!
A mom: Keep your mouth shut before I get security over here! You are a bigoted transphobe, lady! I donāt know who raised you, but youād best shut your trap before I file a lawsuit!
Me: For what? Facts? Logic? Go ahead, Mom. File your precious LAWSUIT. Call your LAWYER. Because thatās how it is here in good old AmeriKKKa, isnāt it? Use your power of ATTORNEY to solve all your problems for you! Thatās all everyone does here is sue, sue, sue! Sue when you donāt get your way! Sue because your little feefees are hurt! Sue just because itās your damn RIGHT! You are a real piece of work, you know that? And I bet your son is just as entitled as you are. I am NOT going to play into some gender-confused boyās delusion because he doesnāt know what he is! Donāt expect me to treat him like a girl because he will never BE one! Itās basic biology! He can go through as many hormone treatments and gender surgeries he wants, but he will NEVER change his chromosomes! HE is XY, through and through! I am here simply to take a stand and make a statement for ALL my fellow girlies out there!
A mom: Oh, you want to take a stand? You want to TAKE A STAND?? Ohhh, girly, you WILL take a stand, all right! You will STAND when security throws you out for disobeying the dress code! Yes, this is America, and we have RIGHTS here! I WILL file a lawsuit for discrimination and bigotry towards transgender people, because you have clearly shown your colors as a disgusting transphobe! You obviously hate trans people, and I will NOT stand for it!
Me: Call me what you want, but it is not transphobic to state the facts. Iām only telling it how it is. Your child is male. He canāt change his gender. Read up on it! Itās literally in EVERY biology book!
A mom: DONāT INSULT MY DAUGHTER!!!
A mom: I am gonna RIP that discriminating piece of cloth off your filthy body, you bitch!!!
Me: Yeah?? Try it! I dare you! Effing TRY it!!!
A mom: You wanna threaten me????
Me: Please. I donāt make threats. I make PROMISES!
A mom: SECURITY! GET SECURITY DOWN HERE! GET THIS WOMAN OUT OF THE ARENA!!! SECURITY!!!!
Security Guard: Maāam, whatās the issue?
A mom: Ask HER! Sheās a toxic, transphobic bitch who has insulted my child more than once and is wearing very inappropriate clothing! I asked her politely to cover it up and sheās refusing to comply!
Security Guard: Maāam, will you cover your shirt, please?
Me: Iām taking a stand for my fellow girlies. No, I will not cover my shirt.
Security Guard: Then we will have to ask you to leave. Maāam. Maāam, either cover your shirt or leave. Do not make us drag you out by force.
Me: You want me to take off my shirt? FINE! *lifts up the hem of my shirt up to my chest, so my underwear is exposed for all to see* Look, everyone! Feast your eyes! A topless woman is in the stadium! Look! See the result of perverted men who asked me to remove my shirt all in the name of āwokeness!ā
Security Guard: *starting to look embarrassed as people turn and stare* Maāam, put your shirt down, please!
Me: For what? You just told me to cover it up, so Iām covering it up so you canāt see the writing! You got a problem with the female body or something? Does this OFFEND you?
Security Guard: I do not have a problem with the female body, but what you are doing right now is extremely inappropriate. We will have to detain you now for indecent exposure. This is a public event!
Me: Indecent exposure my ass! What IS it with the patriarchy, anyway? Itās TOTALLY OKAY when MEN take off their shirts in public, but when a WOMAN does it, itās suddenly āinappropriateā and āindecent exposure!ā Why? To protect the feelings of MEN?? WOMEN canāt go topless in public because it could attract the āwrong attention??ā Why donāt the DADS start teaching their SONS that women are NOT sex objects instead of encouraging then to be perverts?? Huh?? YOU ALL HEAR THAT, MEN? START TEACHING YOUE LITTLE BOYS TO STOP OBJECTIFYING WOMEN AND INSTEAD TREAT THEM LIKE HUMAN BEINGS! If WOMEN canāt take off their shirts in public, then NEITHER can MEN! I am just doing what you TOLD me! SAVE GIRLSā SPORTS, PEOPLE! NO MEN IN WOMENāS SPORTS!!!
Security Guard: *face beet red at everyone staring, filming, and taking pictures, grabbing me by the arm* Thatās it, maāam. Youāre coming with us. We will not allow anyone in here who disrespects inclusion and respect. We will have to arrest you for not following the rules. Iām sorry you feel the way you do about men and the patriarchy, but thereās nothing we can do. Itās just the way the laws are written. Theyāve always prioritized men. Life isnāt fair.
Me: What a laugh that is. Of course life isnāt fairā¦to women and girls! Men just HAVE TO take over EVERYTHING! I am sending a message to ALL women and girls by wearing this shirt! I have their backs, and NO entitled, perverted MAN is going to take that away from me! Let the BOY compete by HIMSELF!
*A bunch of people in the crowd clap and cheer in support of my statement, and many of them take pictures as the guards force me out of my seat. I flash out my shirtās words with pride, smiling for the cameras*
Eventgoers: Hell yeah, girl!⦠Lift up your shirt again!⦠Save girlsā sports!⦠Thanks for standing up for the ladies!⦠Save girlsā sports! Save girlsā sports! Save girlsā sports!
Security Guard: Keep your comments to yourselves before you ALL get thrown out!!!
Eventgoers: Boooooo! BOOOOOOO! YOU SUCK!!!
