The vibe I get from most of TERF islands anti-trans paranoia is that it is yes, anti-trans bigotry, but much of it is also inseparable from and a proxy for racist bigotry.

The White Gender Watchers wouldn't being having a fit if Imane was a white woman.

lmfao this whole thing has me reading Caster Semenya's wikipedia article and:

On 16 July, she set a new national record for 800 metres of 1:55:33.[84][85] On 20 August, she won the gold medal in the women's 800 metres at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio with a time of 1:55.28.[86] The win reignited controversy over the rules on permissible testosterone levels; immediately after the race Lynsey Sharp, finishing sixth, broke into tears, having previously said that "everyone can see it's two separate races",[87] while fifth-placed Joanna Jóźwik stated "I feel like the silver medalist ... I'm glad I'm the first European, the second white", to finish the race.[88][89] Bioethicist Katrina Karkazis criticised the indignant response to Semenya's win as discriminatory.[89]

lol those two athletes sound like dumb asses. Don't they know that swimming is the sport to go for when you want financial resources to gate out the POCs from a particular sport making the competition easier

99.9% of the time yes. If she was white and from bad country x y or z it'd just be transphobic cope to deal with their perceived ineptitude in relation to their countries placement or underperformance. But yeah. Just easier to participate in tribalism when they're easier to other, at least when it's a righteous white genital inspector.
