They think trans women have an unfair advantage in... fishing?

Three members of an English women’s fishing team in England are refusing to compete at the world championships due to the fact that one of their own teammates is trans.

The Shore Angling World Championships will take place in Italy in November, and the board of the sport’s governing body, the Angling Trust, has said it will not prevent trans angler Becky Lee Birtwhistle Hodges from applying to compete.

What are you even on about? ‘In chess it made sense’ like you think women are too dumb for chess

No, I'm saying the only way to get abnormally good at chess is to play people that are already that good at it...

So women were set back decades in competitive chess and only got where they are today by organizing a high level women's league.

This isn't something I pulled out of my ass, just because you didn't know about
