[above a screenshot of a tweet with the transhpobic poster's identity obscured, that reads, "The transgender is like six feet tall and completely towers over the normal woman. What the fuck has MMA become [profile] alanaferal" and a pre-fight photo of Celine Provost (left, wearing blue, taller) and Alana McLaughlin (right, wearing white, shorter), the second transgender pro MMA fighter] "The trans woman is the shorter one" -- Katy Montgomerie ([twitter.com profile] KatyMontgomerie), 2021-09-21

[This is far from the first time transphobes, knowing one athlete in a photo is trans, have guessed wrong as to which and not bothered to look up who is who. Often the same 'phobes who claim "we can always tell" as part of their justification for refusing to accept trans women as women.]

"This is what I mean when I say I worry for masculine looking women these days as much as transwomen. I worry for my cousin and her gf because they are older more masculine women." -- Keri Anne ([twitter.com profile] KAMasse81), replying to KatyMontgomerie

"For decades butches and masc women have been harassed out of bathrooms and changing rooms. Originally it was because lesbians/bi women were seen as bathroom predators (sound familiar?) and in recent years it's because of transphobia. It never ended but it's in the rise again" -- R ([twitter.com profile] foxglovesummer), Replying to KAMasse81
