Anyway, if you’ve grown up as a man, you’ve probably been allowed to pursue these male dominated sports pretty unhindered. Sure, you might’ve been an egg the whole time, but outwardly the men weren’t hostile to you, or creepy, or doubting.
This erases the gendered harassment eggs face and is pretty offensive, comrade.
How? My understanding is that an egg is someone who hasn’t realised that they’re trans yet? What gendered harassment does a male who is at that point cis get?
After transitioning, for sure, being a trans sport player must be incredibly difficult. The abuse you recieve just for winning could definitely put you at a disadvantage.
it’s not an on-off switch, and you would be surprised at the amount of people who pick up on ‘queer’ vibes before you yourself have picked up on it harass you accordingly
I couldn’t say which is worse, having experienced neither, but my intuition is that there are significant differences in the way that creates a barrier, compared to what a cis woman might face. A big part of that is probably sexual harassment and such.
I think you have to be careful here - you have experienced neither but you have opinions on the lived experiences of the very people you are talking about, based on intuition. Not to come across as too toxic, but perhaps take a note from your username’s namesake and ask if you have investigated a problem, and whether therefore it is something you should be speculating so much on
