Fox news on transgender marathon runner

Euronews searched Glenique Frank’s marathon profile and found she placed 583rd out of 2,235 runners in her age category.

Frank came 6,171st out of more than 24,000 women in total. If all participants of the mass event are taken into account, Frank finished 21,617 out of 48,694

A solid middle of the pack performance.

I fucking hate that transphobia has made her feel like she can't compete until she passes.
- Yeah, it's fucked. In total fairness, though, she'll still be guilty of existing while trans. Passing isn't really enough to douse the hate.

If it’s some "culture war" bs, just assume the opposite of what Fox News (or any reactionary outlet) claims

Christ, they have a stick so far up their asses that they have an issue with Levar Burton. Fox News doesn't deserve to exist
- They had issues with Mr. Rogers... fox news claimed he was evil...
- He's black.
  If Trump said the same thing that would spin it as being the best thing anyone's said ever.
- They never did.

Their viewers want to be outraged, not informed. That sums up basically most issues with Fox news.

Let's not sugar coat it, everyone wants to be outraged. Fox news simply focuses on a particular genre of conservative outrage, which may or may not be more deceitful in general, but certainly promotes very specific and nonspecific hateful beliefs.

HOLD UP. ARE you telling ME that FOX NEWS purposefully manipulates headlines and news bits to suit a specific socio-political agenda and has been for decades?

SURPRISED CHIN POKU Man

shoe!

Shoe is the best!

Yup, they do the same for half marathons, 10ks and 5ks
Sometimes the first 3 will get special medals, but but everyone else gets the same one
- You get a ribbon from just 5 kilometers? Brb

Isn't it interesting that conservatives couldn't give two shits about women's sports unless a transgender woman is competing? They sure didn't care about women's sports when they were cheering the US Women's Soccer Team's World Cup defeat.

Apparently transgender women competing against cis women in sports makes the sports they don't like unfair.

Also, I never hear anything from them about transgender men competing in sports. Curious.

Trans woman: "I've been through lots of hardship where people are openly hostile toward me, even threatening my life. I've gone through difficult transition therapies and am even considering surgery. Everyday is difficult because of the social stigma around being a trans person but I persist because this is who I am and accepting that has benefited my mental health."

Fox news: "No, you just want to be good at sports which is unfair."

Not to mention that when it comes to sports all genetics are a crap shoot. Should the woman who was born with natural muscle mass, height advantage, proper bone structure, and high testosterone levels be barred from competing?

What's the point of this post? Outside of slightly worsening everyone's day, that is?

Faux "news"

And I thought Brazil's news reliability was bad...
