They think trans women have an unfair advantage in... fishing?

Three members of an English women’s fishing team in England are refusing to compete at the world championships due to the fact that one of their own teammates is trans.

The Shore Angling World Championships will take place in Italy in November, and the board of the sport’s governing body, the Angling Trust, has said it will not prevent trans angler Becky Lee Birtwhistle Hodges from applying to compete.

This isn’t a facepalm. If they want to compete in a woman’s only tournament they should be allowed to want that.

Trans women are women, they were just born with imperfect bodies.

Next shall we ban small tits? Large labia? Bald girls?

I never knew organized animal torture was a gendered pastime
