Watch Out Isaac! The Shade Is Coming From Inside The House!
Folx in the trans community say the rest of the world is going to point to this as "fair" and "inclusive." Not progressive!
The Minnesota Star Tribune, Yahoo Sports, MSN, and virtually every LGBTQ media outlet on the planet shouted in Bodoni Bold that Minnesota semi-pro women’s soccer team, the Aurora, signed their first transgender player. Isaac Ranson was a standout goalkeeper for Cal State Fullerton’s women’s soccer team, where she came out as lesbian her freshman year and later in her college career, as a “trans man.”
In interviews, Ranson obediently toed the trans line, saying, “I want people to be more aware that, hey, there are trans athletes, but we’re not bringing the sport down or being unfair about it,” and encouraging other trans kids to show up “as their authentic self(?)” But then she had to turn around and ruin it all by saying she felt “safe, included, supported, and proud” to be in women’s soccer. Not a victim. Not genocided. Not banned. Fully existing, in fact, valued, embraced. Not hated. No hate.
Unless you count the “no hate” hate Ranson received from man-with-a-feminine-identity Ari Drennen, who wrote on his Substack A Trans Man on a Woman’s Team is Nothing to Celebrate: “A trans man signed to a women’s team because the league has classified him as a woman, on the condition that he forgo the medical care that would change that classification, is not a milestone for trans inclusion. It is the policy outcome the right has been engineering for nearly ten years.” Aside from the fact that it was not the right in the last ten years, but rather Biology itself for the last, I don’t know, billion years that engineered Ranson’s participation in women’s sports, Drennen and others in the Flat Earth Society are finding “trans men’s” happy acceptance in sports in their sex category extremely inconvenient for men like him who have been insisting everyone hates trans people because of their identities, and that “trans women” will spontaneously combust if they can’t be in women’s sports. Or as man-who-identifies-as-a-woman Joanna Harper pouted, “we would rather not participate at all” than have to compete in their own sex category.
In fact, all the hate Ranson received came from the kind people in the trans community. Of such startling logic, and so illustrative of the radioactive level of misogyny in that not-at-all-totalitarian community were these brilliant takes, I thought it best to Let Them Speak.
Loving Support For Isaac Ranson From the Trans Community…

And the Hate From Transphobes…
Another great article Sarah! Witnessing such an "inclusive" community eat their young is impressive! Female athletes don't have issues with lesbians, asexual females or ladies who have sexual exploits. We just don't want a dick in the locker room or on the team.
If Drennen said the sun sits in the west, I'd spend six months verifying it.
