Where is this excellent takedown of the moral panic over trans athletes?
April 6, 2023 5:25 AM

At some point in the last couple of years, a comment on Metafilter linked to a fantastic essay posted on Facebook. The essay painstakingly explained why the ongoing moral panic over transgender athletes is ludicrous bullshit. It was very detailed, but now I remember almost none of those details! Can anyone point me back to that essay?

not quite what you described, but some comments I found insightful:
. allium cepa on rights and responsibilities
. not on Facebook, but "Either/Or" at the New Yorker
. fight or flight on trans athletes

Yes!! Thanks adekllny, the essay in question was linked by DrMew in the third link you provided. The essay's author is Sam Sharpe.

Here is the facebook link I mentioned, and it looks like the same essay (or an edited version) has also been published by the Genetics Society of America.
