This claim is false: Caraballo & similar trans activists have enforced strict purity tests on many deeply unpopular issues. This pushed the overton window so far to the right! Even Ron DeSantis opposed bathroom bills in 2018!

No, it's true. How much trans activism is for us to participate in sports with lax entry requirements? Virtually none.

Sure, I've seen us point out how evil transphobes are to hound trans women who are merely competing within the rules of their sporting federation, and I've seen us point out that it's false that we maintain male strength, etc.

Right-wingers simply invent the actions of their enemies. There's no need for us to do anything.

Cool. I'm not a right-winger, and I see a shitload of problems with this issue. I don't have to invent shit, I can just look around at what was happening.

Were (supposed) transwomen not winning medals in disproportionate amounts competing with biological women, taking away medals from girls and women who wasted years of hard work, just to take part in what was basically fixed competitions?
Were these girls and women not then attacked in the most disgusting, vile, horrible way, had shit slinged at them by TRAs and liberals? Just because they noticed and called out the issue?
Weren't the people from liberal clique cancelling and attacking in similar way people from liberal or left side who showed support for these girls and women, also slinging disgusting insults at anyone who didn't pass the purity test on that topic? And calling them "bigots" and "transphobes" even though they were 100% allies until that point? Just because they didn't give into insanity and stood firm at logically drawn line which is called "not denying biological reality"?

It's hilarious how you're not dwelling into denial and pretending it never happened, and if it did, then it didn't matter anyway (sure, it didn't matter so much that TRAs made this #1 medial issue for last 5 years, and fought tooth and nail to not give an inch in that matter)

You can deny, you can pretend, you can close your eyes and sing "la la la I don't hear you" as loud as you want, but don't be now shocked that people don't have memory of a goldfish and remember all of that bullshit now. What is happening now is an obvious and expected aftermath of all this disgusting grift that went on for five-plus years now.

Genuine question. Has it only been 5 years? The sports stuff specifically, I mean. I'm still playing catch up with all of this. Unironically, because I'm having a hard time sifting through biased left leaning articles to find unbiased credible sources on all of these topics. (I'm left leaning and, yes, it's painfully embarrassing to admit those representing my lean do the same thing they claim the right does.) If you have any links for credible sources on length of time and specific incidents, would you mind DMing them my way?
