For much of yesterday, our headlines had a gimmick. They formed rhyming pairs, because it’d be too hard to make them

Then congratulations: your drive to do everything legitimately has well and truly fucked you.

But what if you’ve unlocked every trophy but the buy trophy trophy, and the platinum trophy.

Someone write Taro and I bet he makes it happen in his next game.

They should really mess with people by having a trophy for buying a trophy, but make it so you can’t buy that trophy. That way, people who are like “I’m not going to buy any trophies, I’m going to get the platinum trophy legitimately!” will realize that doing so is impossible: they have to wimp out and buy one.

See, the problem with your thought process is that it’s based on consistency. The jerks who set this up want to simultaneously paint him as “not boy” enough to compete against other boys, but “too boy” to compete against girls. They really just want him to go home and not be trans where they can see him.

Yeah I’ve been wondering which locker room they’re making him use.

If I were the parent of a girl wrestler who was going to be matched with Mack, I’d object on the basis that it’s not fair for my daughter to wrestle a boy. To be clear, my objection is not to having girls wrestle against trans boys. It’s to having girls wrestle against boys. He should be on the boy’s wrestling team

It’s so funny how cis folk can oppress, harass, and murder trans folk but when a trans person succeeds despite this we have the fucking nerve to call him the cheater.

Hormone replacement is there to put him in the normal range for a male. It’s their own bigoted fault for making him wrestle girls.

It’s considered therapeutic usage under the direction of a medical professional. It is standard to give exemptions for this.

No, because he has a therapeutic use exemption. His testosterone is kept in the normal range and therefore he gains no advantage to other guys.

They do not, at all, disqualify him.

Further: LOTS of states with major HS wrestling programs don’t segregate by gender, and it’s honestly not really an issue. You weigh in, you wrestle the person across the mat from you, and the person who wins is the person who’s better. This shouldn’t be complicated.

Also, he’s a child. He’s seventeen years old, for crying out loud, and doing what he can at the whims of adults. Leave him be.

Any outrage people choose to feel about this should be directed at the people who made Mack wrestle girls, not Mack himself. That’s fucking idiotic. And before someone comes in and says “He shouldn’t have competed at all if it wasn’t fair,” here’s a preemptive gif:

Okay, so, since apparently it’s hard for folks to understand.

Damn, this isn’t how I wanted to start the day. I guess I’ll just have to accept reality and prepare for today’s shenanigans.

There’s a certain freedom in knowing that you’ve already been condemned to Hell. Once you know you’re going to the Hot Place, you might as well commit all the atrocities you can.
