Discrimination against trans Olympians has roots in #NaziGermany
The forgotten Olympic history of #TransAthletes.
by Alex Abad-Santos
Updated Aug 1, 2024Excerpt: "Outside of the [Olympic] Games, trans people face so much backlash, often for simply existing. The conversation around sports is particularly fraught, from children’s athletics right up through the pros. Despite the International Olympic Committee vowing to be more inclusive, the future for trans athletes is unclear.
"It all raises the question: How did we get to this point, and did it always have to be this way?
"The answers found in historian and journalist #MichaelWaters’s The Other Olympians: #Fascism, #Queerness, and the Making of Modern Sports might be surprising. Waters’s book traces the emergence of #ZdeněkKoubek, a track and field star representing the country formerly known as Czechoslovakia who, at 21, won two medals — a gold in the 800m and a bronze in the long jump — at the 1934 Women’s World Games. (The Women’s World Games was the precursor to women competing at the Olympics). In 1935, Koubek announced that he would be living life as a man and swiftly became an international celebrity.
"Perhaps the most intriguing facet to Koubek’s story was in the public response. Koubek was more welcomed and celebrated than we might imagine. There was an open-mindedness and empathy to the reception of Koubek and his gender identity and expression in the 1930s.
"Waters also pinpoints where and when that changed, specifically at the #1936Olympics in #Nazi Germany. Armed with a propensity for #eugenics, #GenderAnxiety, and a startling lack of scientific evidence, a small set of Nazi officials influenced the International Olympic Committee into #GenderSurveillance and #TransPanic — stuff that eerily mirrors the #transphobic attacks that athletes, cis and trans alike, face today."

A little good news for queer people: Michigan has become the 20th US state to officially bar people from using "trans panic" defenses in court. 20 where the law says that no, it's not okay to assault or murder someone because of their sexual orientation or their gender identity.
It should be 50, of course. But this is a good step. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️✊🏻

The #Michigan Senate passed a bill banning the #GayPanic & #TransPanic defense in court. Rep Laurie Pohutsky introduced HB4718, saying, "I was a young queer person when Matt Shepard was murdered, & it was the first time, although I was not out yet, that I realized, 'Oh, this could be very dangerous for me." The bill now goes to the Governor for her signature.

Ah well, here you go:

All this #BathroomBill ban of #transgender #women nonsense does nothing but make #TransWomen and #girls unsafe.
#Trans women are more likely to be attacked by #CisWomen in bathrooms than the other way around
Also, more #cis women attacked other cis women in bathrooms than trans women ever have
Might as well ban every #woman from women's bathrooms for as much as this makes any sense at all
This #transpanic is just a callous way for #Republicans to try to ramp up the religious voters for #2024

The big question is how many centrists and progressives are going to decide that supporting trans rights is now too fraught. When the right has evocative, primal messaging on an issue, it takes nerve to fight back. Dems may decide it's just easier to throw us trans folks under the bus. #transgender #TransPanic

On #WeveGotIssues:
AR Moxon (@JuliusGoat): Right-wingers' problem isn't that they're being silenced, it's that we hear them loud and clear and are judging them accordingly
@ParkerMolloy: The media's blithe promotion of RW moral panics is a threat to democracy.

CW: Trans Discourse: help needed
What's the best concise mythbuster for people who haven't fallen down a whole #transPanic rabbit-hole, but have just been absorbing the UK media's anti-trans campaign mostly by osmosis, and are too old to realise how little they should trust the Guardian or BBC Radio 4?
They might be repeating common transphobic talking points as Reasonable Concerns without knowing the context, and assume that a lot of the coverage of things like #grr and puberty blockers is broadly accurate.
They want to think they have nothing against #trans people, and maybe they really don't! They just worry vaguely about women's spaces/penises/sterilisation, or whatever, and haven't had the motivation and opportunity to question what they've heard about these things.
So a quick rundown of the most common myths and sources to disprove them might help shift their thinking.
Any favourite resources along these lines? Thank you!

Fifteen percent of #transgender individuals report being sexually assaulted while in police custody or jail, which more than doubles (32 percent) for African-American transgender people. Five to nine percent of transgender survivors were sexually assaulted by police officers. Another 10 percent were assaulted by health care professionals.

So, here's a piece wrote on the #theology of gender.
I wrote it because the US has been in the grips of a years-long #evangelical #transpanic inspired by a god that bears no resemblance to the one know.
"Just as God creating day and night does not invalidate the existence of dusk or dawn, so God making humanity man and woman does not invalidate the full spectrum of gender.
