Transphobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny
So I want to talk about the Caster Semenya ruling. As a South African and a queer person, the IAAF's ruling against her is absolute bullshit & was clearly meant to punish a black woman for daring to be be better than her white opponents. That the IAAC chose a black African woman as their target (as opposed to the many white Europeans with similar conditions) speaks volumes. The hate being directed @ Semenya online is also revealing. I've seen people...
Transphobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny
So yeah, the IAAC's ruling is a clear example of a white governing body trying its hardest to protect the interests of white people at the expense of people of colour while also propping up the patriarchal idea of strict gender binary.
In short: screw the IAAC, screw the people celebrating this ruling, and good luck to Semenya in fighting it
