but taking the modern neo-fascist conservative opinion as the opinion of all, seems a bit disingenuous; they simply bitch at everything and louder than most.

This isn't about fascists opinions. It's about the fact that they are explicitly and openly banning us from involvement in an ever growing list of sports.

Cricket, football, chess, swimming, athletics, cycling, disc golf, weight lifting... The list goes on...

This isn't opinions, it's not about who speaks loudest, it's about the explicit exclusion of trans folk from sports.

And you can't talk about an apparent golden age of acceptance when the list of explicit exclusions is greater than it has ever been, especially when they don't even mention those exclusions in the article!
