DoomsdaysCW<p>Discrimination against trans Olympians has roots in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaziGermany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NaziGermany</span></a></p><p>The forgotten Olympic history of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransAthletes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransAthletes</span></a>.</p><p>by Alex Abad-Santos<br>Updated Aug 1, 2024</p><p>Excerpt: "Outside of the [Olympic] Games, trans people face so much backlash, often for simply existing. The conversation around sports is particularly fraught, from children’s athletics right up through the pros. Despite the International Olympic Committee vowing to be more inclusive, the future for trans athletes is unclear.</p><p>"It all raises the question: How did we get to this point, and did it always have to be this way?</p><p>"The answers found in historian and journalist <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MichaelWaters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MichaelWaters</span></a>’s The Other Olympians: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Queerness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Queerness</span></a>, and the Making of Modern Sports might be surprising. Waters’s book traces the emergence of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Zden%C4%9BkKoubek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZdeněkKoubek</span></a>, a track and field star representing the country formerly known as Czechoslovakia who, at 21, won two medals — a gold in the 800m and a bronze in the long jump — at the 1934 Women’s World Games. (The Women’s World Games was the precursor to women competing at the Olympics). In 1935, Koubek announced that he would be living life as a man and swiftly became an international celebrity.</p><p>"Perhaps the most intriguing facet to Koubek’s story was in the public response. Koubek was more welcomed and celebrated than we might imagine. There was an open-mindedness and empathy to the reception of Koubek and his gender identity and expression in the 1930s.</p><p>"Waters also pinpoints where and when that changed, specifically at the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/1936Olympics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1936Olympics</span></a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nazi</span></a> Germany.

Mastodon. You ready for a long #queerecology thread? I saw someone justifying #queerness as a "natural" thing because we see it in other #organisms. I often challenge the rhetoric of there being "queer", "trans", or "gay" animals. But that's because "queerness" needs challenging. It needs it bc it is inherently #anthropocentric, and also #eurocentric as a #system of identification, even if the #interactions themselves are sourced in every #human system on the planet from years before #whiteness.

Ich hab das - "gibt's auch Unternehmer die gut/vorbildlich sind?" - in einer (#Betriebsrat-) Schulung der #IgMetall gefragt, da ging's vor allem #Geschlecht / #Queerness . Die Antwort war erstaunlich klar:
"Ja #SAP. ...und dann lange nichts."
Ist das so? #AskAFriend
