Trans people watching all the "allies" posting, but it's ok, she's a "biological woman" "she's always been a woman" "she's not a man". My brethren, even if she were a trans woman she should be allowed to compete.

When I told my parents I was transgender my mum and dad said they would disown me if I transitioned. I was distraught. I knew I had to transition and I accepted that I would lose my parents forever. Point being, I absolutely transitioned because it was sooo trendy #rogd

Trans women should be allowed to compete in elite sports and win all the medals. Your posts are unwittingly reinforcing the narrative that trans women should be excluded from sports. I'm sick to the back teeth of it.

When you say "It's not ok to harass her... she's actually a cis woman!"... What does that imply? I'll tell you what it implies, it heavily implies that it would be ok to harass her if she were trans.

Just seen a PayPal advert for a drag brunch with rainbow jumpers and colourful eye makeup, yet if a trans person wants to change the name on their account it takes about 5 years worth of trauma, hair pulling out and faxing (really) documents back and forth. Happy Pride month
