from trans folks.
As a woman, I find anti trans talk about protecting women, incredibly insulting. These people do not show up to protect me or other women in ways that really matter. Not when it comes to reproductive rights, equal pay, representation. None of it. They lose their shit when a woman gets an " "unconventional" job usually reserved for men.
I am guessing throwing dildos is meant to be anti LGBTQ - since there openly gay women in the league. Whatever the reason, it is sick and appalling.
