    Kinda related, I was looking at roller derby earlier and the sign up for this womens team said you had to meet the definition from some national (maybe international?) Roller derby org.

    I checked expecting the worst and it was a long list that essentially boiled down to “as long as you aren’t a cis man you’re fine”. Real sports dont care at all.

      It’s really funny because the quintessential “women’s” sports, roller derby and softball, have been extremely trans inclusive on every team I’ve ever seen.

      Derby is 100% the most inclusive sport I can think of. It’s basically the queer sport.

      Huh. There was an American Dad episode where Hailey and Steve join a woman’s roller derby team and that was basically the storyline.
