Journalist Frankie de la Cretaz on #Skermetti, the #SJSU women's volleyball team, and #transgender athletes:
"One of the ways the anti-trans sports push has been so effective has been by framing “fairness” around what is perceived to be fair to cis athletes, rather than by what is fair for the most marginalized athletes in the room: trans women and girls."
An essential reframing that puts #trans folks as people first, and only then as people who want to play sports.
Some really excellent critiques of #journalism, particularly comparing the #NYTimes and #ESPN in their coverage of the furor around a San Jose State volleyball player (who may or may not be trans, but who is definitely a woman).
