To clarify, the pictured poster Caroline Kwan is an ally, not a TERF. The TERFs referred to in the title are the ones ‘protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is’

    The person we replied to is literally doing what the posted screenshot is criticising lol. It’s not about fairness and equality, some folks are really misogynists and protecting their own idea of what a woman is.

      Right. It’s a total white knight move. I do not know of any women athletes on the level of a woman like Ms. Khelif (or any other Olympian for that matter) who have asked to be protected from having to compete against a “man.”
