It's probably stood up for the picture, considering it's not much use photographing the lack of a visible bike on black and white film...

It also heavily depends on what hormones if any the transgender woman is on. Monotherapy increases estrogen count well above cis female levels, and both monotherapy and via T blockers reduce testosterone so drastically that agab has absolutely no role in overall strength. I had moderate muscle mass and a very lean build before transitioning (from amateur climbing and track), and quickly lost all of that within four months on monotherapy even with regular gym attendance. My leg strength stayed about the same but overall build and gains are exactly on par with my cisgender peers now. The point being I'm not sure one can even argue that they could train on natural T before transitioning to gain an advantage, as maintaining that muscle mass is near impossible. And if policing hormonal levels becomes a thing if low-dosage is a concern, then many cisgender women would also be barred for competing due to naturally high testosterone.

Except that the original post from TikTok or insta (can't tell which was first) wasn't even censored, and some dumbass on reddit added the crayon scribbles.

Agreed. Fourscore and twelve just works (English used to use this, at least in formal speech and writing).

I think memes can be used in well-known cases of bigotry to better remind a wider audience of our society's issues. Maybe it shouldn't have been used if this was something new (I feel many prefer a proper report or article if some well-known celebrity is newly found to be hateful), but in this case we've all seen this tweet a thousand times by now. Those who dislike political memes can just block it, and humor has been used effectively for centuries (if not longer) to bring awareness to important political issues. If it's a sensitivity issue, the slur could be censored, but it hits harder to leave no ambiguity in what she said.

Isn't a machine drinking oil the equivalent of a human pouring a glass of blood? Are all oleovorous robots vampires?

Possibly a wireless lapel mic dongle, if he'd be recording for any reason? I have one that looks a lot like it.
