@May awesome! Hope you have a day filled with queer joy!

@afewbugs the old spectre of the Victorian "deserving poor and undeserving poor" haunts us yet again. Much easier to assume poor folk are lazy/frivolous/stupid than to blame the real enemy, right?

@afewbugs This sort of thing is the bane of society. Oh, you could be rich too if you just made your own sandwiches and stopped buying coffee (or avocado toast, remember that one?)...and oh yeah, have rich parents and a high-paying job. But it's the sandwiches that make the difference, sure.

I think instead of packing our own lunches we should start eating the rich.

@echosystemname thats all very good to know! I rowed as an undergraduate, but that was before transition.

@DavidBridger @floofpaldi not mine, stolen from tumblr linguistic culture!

@LunaDragofelis that's basically what a quote from one of the women involved said - no "male sports and female sports, just sports".

So, my uni women's rowing club decided to restrict membership to cis women only. In response, a new "open" division was created that anyone can compete in.

Lots of women left to join the open division instead, and now the women's club are complaining about losing their best rowers.

Be transphobic, lose support.

That's the conses of your quences, folks.
