not only that, but because of the county she lives in, this kind of LIE (I am not gonna call it misinformation) could possibly get her killed when she returns home. the people who are spreading these lies are terrible humans, and do so for the sake of hate..It's disheartening that these accusations were levied out there, from gigantic platforms like Rowling who amplify disinformation, down to posters on a message board who by their tenor and posture further the disinformation, and yet none of them have the balls, or cajones perhaps, to use their voice to say my bad, I mistook this situation, was ill-informed, I support this woman in her endeavor to be a medalist.
No, just throw it out there irresponsibly, and then walk away from the scene with all kind of deflection and double speak. This was put out there in the name of protecting women but none of them gave a sheet about protecting THIS woman by doing the minimal amount of research and fact checking. She lives in a country where being trans is illegal. Does that sound like a place where innuendo, accusations and rhetoric on a worldwide stage, even if untrue and irresponsible, could put in peril someone's living situation? Their family's?
And I take back what I said earlier. It's not disheartening, it seems rather disgusting.
most of them don't care about protecting women, they are more about hating the LGBTQ community.
