    This is the effect they want. It’s more oppression. On top of trans people it’s women as well. Too good? Too buff? “Gotta be trans”

      Gender policing is about enforcing rigid, misogynist gender roles.

      At the rate they’re going they’re just going to declare that women’s sports are trans and then ban all women from them.

      These girls don’t even look especially masculine! This was a hit job.

      A Cruz campaign spokesperson responded by saying the photo “features a female athlete who spoke out against boys playing in girls’ sports after participating in a track meet where a biological male beat female athletes and impacted individual and team medal results” but didn’t address the campaign labeling the young women as “trans”boys.”

      They aren’t even addressing the fact that the photo shows two girls, not one. So which one is this teenage girl who is such a horrible ally to trans people that you decided to demonize her in this ad and which is the one you just didn’t bother cropping out?
