They think trans women have an unfair advantage in… fishing?

Three members of an English women’s fishing team in England are refusing to compete at the world championships due to the fact that one of their own teammates is trans.

The Shore Angling World Championships will take place in Italy in November, and the board of the sport’s governing body, the Angling Trust, has said it will not prevent trans angler Becky Lee Birtwhistle Hodges from applying to compete.

      Lacks nuance.

      They believe that allowing trans women to identify as women reduces womanhood to meaninglessness.

      IOW: they found a way to be the victim in a situation where a tiny subset of the population faces massive challenges merely trying to exist.
