This olympic boxing situation is really exposing a bunch of white queers on my timeline who absolutely cannot wait to rush to the defense of a white woman who is about to massively financially benefit off of this whole racist transphobic intersexist outcry manufactured by known white supremacists.
At least it makes it easy to figure out who to block and unfollow.
Seriously, the amount of posts I see with people falling over themselves to defend Angela Carini, when there's not even anything to defend her from?? As if she needs anymore help. She's done nothing but benefit from the situation.
Imane Khelif is the one actually under attack here, you ghouls.
This entire thing is just... so many huge, waving red flags all at once. It's like all the headlines we've been waving around over the last couple years are arriving one after the other. 'Transphobia Hurts Cis Women, Too' and 'You're Literally Parroting Russian Propaganda' are doing a lot of heavy lifting, but also 'Block Your Face in the Face-Punching Contest, Dipshit' should get some time in the sun.
Imane Khelif didn't get a fraction of this attention and scrutiny - if anybody honestly knew her name prior to all this to begin with, because I certainly hadn't heard of her - while she was losing, but SuUUUUUuDDeNLYyYYyYyyyYYyy... "oh that poor angela carini" oh stop. A loser lost and is making it everybody's problem. She is a wedge issue that's going to make shit worse for so many fucking people, and she's getting paid to do it!
