    Right wingers threw a temper tantrum when a trans woman competed in a chess tournament. Their opinions and outrage are invalid.

    “In 2023, trans woman Glenique Frank, who ran the race to raise money for good causes, was accused of “cheating real women out of a place” after she finished the 26.2-mile event in 4hrs 11mins 28secs – in 6,160th spot.”

    The person in 6,161st place must have been gutted they didn’t get 6,160th.
