I was intially convinced this was an art project or a hoax... The people on the team page seem to exist. But I'm still not entirely convinced there's not something else going on here.
This is very transparently a gross, cruel attempt to parody and belittle trans people, as is made clear by the people involved and the language: “7 Tips on How To Come Out as Enhanced” And the “believe the science” and “colonialist” bits are very much a conservative-doing-an-impression-of-a-liberal thing. There’s worse if you read through their mission pages. I’m taken aback by the level of effort, honestly. It reall…
The males who compete in women's sports aren't being marginalized, in fact quite the opposite, they are dominating the competition and causing female athletes to be marginalized in their own sports. It's rank misogyny, centering male demands and desires way above any sense of fairness and safety for women.
If this website is indeed a parody aimed at the male intruders ruining women's sport, then I'm all for it. These cheating men and the sporting bodies that enable them deserve all the criticism they get.
Pretty sure this is a hoax/satire/anti-trans argument. So, going to just answer the anti trans piece. There is no trans athletes dominating sport. Even us talking about it is because conservatives want to use it as a wedge issue. For the mathematically inclined, slightly under 1% of the population are trans. When we see more than 1% of winners of athletic competitions being trans then we can talk about a problem. At…
Yes there are, see https://shewon.org for an increasingly long list of women who have been pushed off the podium by trans-identifying males competing as women.
Some women are even quitting the sports they've trained so hard for, because these males are ruining the competition, e.g. see https://www.outkick.com/cycling-champ-hannah-arensman-retire....

It is an exercise in trolling. The president, Aron D’Souza, is a Peter Thiel buddy, and sounds like somebody who would find bullet points like "Inclusive Language" and "How to come out as enhanced" hilarious in this context.

Ok. So an elaborate libertarianbro in-joke?
When atheles start collapsing of heart-failure on the track, then what?
this is a risk even without PEDs though, right?
IMB4 anyone suggests that a Vyvanse prescription is equivalent to sports PEDs, despite both being significant risks to heart-health.

You also completely overlooked FtM trans people in your concern-trolling piece there.

Trans people represent a fraction-of-a-percent of people in the total population. They are not “dominating” anyone. Trans people are ruining sports the same way Jewish people control the banking sector: they don’t. You also completely overlooked FtM trans people in your concern-trolling piece there.
These males are ruining sports for women athletes, as are the sporting bodies whose policies have enabled this. Some women have even quit the sports they've worked so hard to compete in, because of how unfair this situation is.

“ Miss Greater Derry, New Hampshire Beauty Pageant (part of the Miss America Pageant events), 10 November”
Literally nowhere near the top of the sport and like I said we would expect 1% of winners to be trans.
