So you see, AEW is full of soft, short manlets who couldn't be able to hang with the old school guys or ever win a fight in the old days, but they are also too violent and take wrestling too far and no child should watch them.

When AEW was in Pittsburgh last time, some shithead started saying transphobic garbage when Nyla came out. Enough of us around him told him to shut up that he did, and like 10 minutes later some security guard or something (he had a polo shirt of the arena on) came by, talked to him, and the dude was pretty silent the rest of the show.

"Hey, do you want to go watch a wrestling show in a local leisure centre?" - eh, maybe, depends who's wrestling.

"Hey, do you want to go watch an OUTLAW MUD SHOW?" - gently caress yeah.

It's also stupid because "Outlaw Promotion" would refer to any promotion that's not a part of the territories, aka literally every wrestling promotion today

I mean, yes, that's a lovely transphobic angle and par for the course, but I'm specifically talking about the kind of TERFs who are causing bullshit moral panics about trans women in sports, most recently Lia Thomas, whose explicit goal is to eliminate trans women from the public eye.

How long until we get TERFs demanding that Tony Khan bans Nyla from the women's division to #SaveWomensWrestling or whatever, and how do we fight that poo poo before it happens?

Yeah, generally speaking we want the entertainingly bad takes ITT, like from people who legit think wrestling didn't exist before Vince showed up, or people who are obvious hypocrites about stuff, or people who just come up with the goddamndest brain worms takes about things. The tweets/posts that are just straight up racism/sexism/homophobia, or that's like super creepy stalker "here is my fantasy about having sex with/committing an act of violence against [someone in wrestling]" type of stuff, not so much, because those aren't funny, they're just nasty and sad.

I have no doubt about that. To be perfectly clear, my point is that TERFism is fascism, and there is very little preventing the likes of J.K. Rowling from going after trans people in professional wrestling once they've hosed over trans athletes in other sports. There have been smatterings of transphobia in wrestling before now, but there aren't the same kinds of organised hate campaigns against wrestlers like Nyla or Kidd Bandit as there have been against Lia Thomas and Laurel Hubbard, and there is every chance that there will be in the future.

Wrestling doesn't have an overseeing body. The only person who gets to decide if Nyla can wrestle women is Tony Khan and I feel confident in believing he would tell JK to get stuffed

I think the performance aspect of wrestling is a bit of a shield against that because those assholes love to use the smokescreen of 'protecting legitimate competition' and there's no competition to protect in pro wrestling. Not that they might not still target wrestling but it's a lot harder to mask the underlying grossness of their stance.

I agree that an anti-trans campaign isn’t a huge worry but it couldn’t hurt to let both Tony and TBS know how much you appreciate Nyla and Sonny. In a polite, non-weird way. Don’t let the fascists pretend they’re a majority.

Also just talk about how awesome they are, which is easy. Follow Nyla and Sonny on Twitter and like their tweets. Show how much engagement they get on social media. Show up as an ally. Don't let assholes drown them out.

And the thing is, it doesn’t matter that it’s a performance art. "Oh, this normalizes it." These assholes are literally claiming that Disney is grooming children right now.

Nyla's in a world title program. That's putting his faith in her to help carry the women's division. As far as I know they've never mentioned that she's trans but rather show up to keep her prominently portrayed in the company. Isn't that better?

Don't forget Tony gave her the most awkward hug in the history of human contact when she won.

It doesn't mean anything, but that hug was so awkward.
