This is actually one of the funnier ones I’ve seen

Turner claimed she usually doesn’t sign up for events where she knows there’s a chance of going up against a transgender opponent, but did so this time as a form of protest.

“So what I was doing already was just avoiding tournaments where I knew there was a transgender fencer. But at this point, what else should I do? Should I just not sign up for any tournaments? I have no other options,” Turner told the Daily Mail.

Lmao. And they use such a victim complex title.

What immense virtue signaling. I wonder if she is aiming to be in trumps cabinet for his attempt at a third term.
