A free-running community has been targeted again for allowing trans women to compete in the women’s category.

Parkrun is a global organization with events each Saturday and Sunday in more than 20 countries around the world, according to its website. It offers several different distances for people to participate in.

The organization allows participants to allow people to identify with their gender instead of the sex assigned at birth. It also allows a range of options for people who identify as nonbinary.

But don't you know that trans women are naturally faster at running because we wanna be both transphobic and sexist at the same time while hiding behind the culture war like the cry babies we are?

Kinda verbose, but that's basically the exact vibes I get whenever I hear transphobia in any activity. Just replace it with a different activity and it'll be the exact same vibes.
