For those folks complaining that a single trans athlete at Tokyo is squeezing out the participation of a non-trans athlete ... let me know when you start complaining that at Tokyo there are (according to IOC) 267 more male athletes than female athletes, squeezing out ~133 females

Reminder instant mute policy is on, so don't be a jerk

And in the Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020, there will be 836 more men than women participants, squeezing out ~418 women

So you care deeply about fairness in elite sport participation? Great

Here are ~550 P/Olympic spots taken by men that (in fairness) should go to women

Outraged?

It's great that so many care so much for women's opportunity in sport & are not just using the issue as a Trojan Horse!

There are 95 international sport federations, 5 (five!) are led by women & of these 5 only 2 are Olympic sports
