so she's a woman enough to be required to wear a women's swimsuit, but not woman enough to be allowed to swim in the women's competitions?
Bigots tend to catch a severe case of cognitive dissonance.
They don't though. This isn't a gotcha that will make the bigots second guess themselves, there will be no internal discomfort or recognition of internal contradictions, because exclusion is the point. The more stupid barriers there are, the less trans people participate.
There is power in protests like these, but the power lies in the way it forces the people who aren't deep down the transphobia rabbit hole to challenge their previously unchallenged opinions.
Yeah, their thinking is probably something along the lines of 'shouldn't have gotten tits if you wanted to swim' or whatever. This is definitely not going to cause them to think.
Guys can straight up have natural tits as well.
