This ain’t transphobia.
Actually, no clue. I meant silly putty. Crazy glue, silly putty, same thing.
Looks like someone used crazy putty to copy Elon’s face off a newspaper
Now is the time to heal.
Last panel is garbage. No way trump can run.
There was a good comment about describing the issue without sensationalist platitudes, alas a moderator inexplicably decided to remove it: https://lemmy.world/comment/18512841.
To summarize: a trans woman who went through puberty as a man will likely have a drastically different physiology than a non-trans woman, which may lead to unfair advantages in some sports. I understand Buttigieg was just acknowledging this.
With that said, the variation between body types of non-trans women may be large enough to encompass these types of differences for many, if not all, of these situations and the whole argument could be moot.
Again, acknowledging that these issues could arise does not make someone transphobic. Transphobic would be more along the lines of making outright bans instead of being considerate of all situations.
