I literally never would have heard of this nonsense if if wasn't for Lemmy.

It was widely reported on, including probably whatever newspapers you read, even if you didn’t read the story. You not reading it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a widely known about event of the 2024 Olympics.

I'd much rather talk about the thousands of good things that the Olympics bring out.

Okay, so go do that instead of coming into a thread about a gold medal Olympian facing transphobia to complain that people are acknowledging it.
