Fuck the state of Oklahoma. Threatening AEW for letting a trans woman compete, intentionally misgendering her in a little manifesto, is absolutely fucking *pathetic*. More evidence of transphobia making people dumber. This is such petty, low stakes, infantile crap, and they’re all about it.

Oh noes! A transwoman and ciswoman participated together in a cooperative athletic event to entertain a crowd of enthusiasts. Oh heavens, whatever shall we do! Won't someone PLEASE think of the children!

Also just asshole behavior. Doesn't make me want to do business in Oklahoma.

Wish Tony Khan would protest as loudly about this as much as he's prosted far pettier things than this, but something tells me he won't. As much as I'm not a fan of CM Punk, we all know that if he was there, he'd be wearing a trans pride t-shirt and telling the Athletic Commission to suck his dick.

Wait till they find out that professional wrestling is scripted! That'll really blow their minds! What little they have!

A friend once told me Oklahoma exists so Kansas has someone to look down on. They're really proving her statement with this one.

My partner has family here, so we moved out here for support during what we had hoped would be the height of COVID. And, uh, yeah. It's not great. Our financial situation is better here than it ever was so we're super stuck here unless we wanted to move someplace to be homeless in.

I read some of it and, based on their (asinine) reasoning, they might as well ban intergender stage performances in the state all together.

Wait, what?!? Like, even if you believe that trans women competing in sports is “men trying to dominate women’s sports” (which is BS), this is pro wrestling. The outcomes are predetermined. Don’t get me wrong, it is an athletic performance, but it’s not an actual fight.

I lived there in the 90s, I am so glad I didn't know I was trans at the time. All I had to see was all the racism and homophobia. Gawd those people loved Gone With the Wind a lot.

I didn't know what an AEW was but upon searching it up??? Isn't this like wrestling as in a performance for a crowd rather than an actual competition? Like bad enough they want to discriminate against trans women in actual sports but this is like banning trans women from doing theatre.

AEW isn’t afraid to take on WWE, who last I checked somehow have more power and money than the state of Oklahoma…also, their board (consisting of pro wrestlers) could kick the asses of Oklahoma’s house (politicians who are too scared to say this horrible shit to the faces it’s directed at)

How would she have a competitive advantage? This is pro wrestling. Hate is the whole point. It has nothing to do with sports. This really shows that is the case.

Are they going to launch an investigation into match rigging next?
