Lance Armstrong is most known for cheating to win little bicycle races.
Armstrong has had an interesting life.
He won 7 Tour de France titles.
Then he had 7 Tour de France titles taken from him because he spent his entire racing career stuffing his veins with HGH and EPO and then individually destroying the lives of everyone who found out about it.
Now, the one-balled sociopath is turning his focus from scamming the cycling world to simply encouraging healthy discourse aka that thing conservatives assholes do when they want to say something wildly bigoted but they frame it as a question so when the inevitable backlash comes they can shield themselves behind “I WAS JUST ASKING QUESTIONS. CAN WE NOT ASK QUESTIONS IN THIS COUNTRY ANYMORE???!!”
Is there not a world in which one can be supportive of the transgender community and curious about the fairness of Trans athletes in sport yet not be labeled a transphobe or a bigot as we ask questions? Do we yet know the answers? And do we even want to know the answers?

“Is there not a world in which one can be supportive of the transgender community and curious about the fairness of Trans athletes in sport?”
Literally, no.
That’s like saying “I love black people, but why don’t they have their own water fountains?”
“Oh now I’m a bigot for simply asking questions, huh??”
We can start by saying Lance Armstrong is the last human on planet Earth who should ever try to be the voice of ‘fairness’.
This sicko was giving himself blood transfusions like Ryan Wayne White to avoid failing drug tests.
Lance Armstrong had more needles laying around his crib than Josh Hamilton after one sip of non-alcoholic beer.
Armstrong made a bajillion dollars coming back from cancer and winning races while secretly flooding his bloodstream with the best performance-enhancing drugs man has ever created.
Truly the arbiter of fairness.
I hate these boring ass trans conversations.
Trans people represent such a small fraction of the population.
It is so corny how much attention these conservative maniacs give to such a non-issue.
I feel like I am constantly thinking about my job or the Knicks or these hoes.
You know what I have never in my life, ever cared about? Fairness in high school sports and I run a sports website.
And you know who else doesn’t care about fairness in high school sports? Lance Armstrong and all of these people who can’t shut up about it.
We NEVER ever watch or read about girls high school swimming results. Most schools in America don’t even have swimming teams.
But now it’s the biggest deal in the world because a trans girl participated and won some swimming meets that—I cannot stress enough—no one actually cares about.
Let’s remove the trans part of this.
If a girl cheated in a local high school swim competition, would Fox News spend hours covering it?
Would Lance Armstrong and Caitlyn Jenner be having a sit-down convo about it?
Would every contrarian debate dweeb be passionately arguing for fairness in girls high school swimming?
Fuck no.
Here’s my advice to any young cis girl competing against trans girls: work harder.
Time to hit the weight room, Amanda.
Again, there is such a minuscule fraction of the American population that identifies as trans.
That fraction is even smaller when we’re talking about trans athletes.
Make that fraction of a fraction eveeeeeen smaller when it comes to trans athletes who are good at sports.
If you’re reading this, I want you to take a second and ask yourself if you have ever met a trans girl.
Now, I want you to take another second and ask yourself if that trans girl was anywhere near athletic.
I know from my experience, every trans girl I met was either a frail e-girl or they look like that chick who runs around with Ronald McDonald.
My point is, trans women are not suddenly dominating women’s sports to the degree where this is a real, actual issue.
This is all make-believe by bigots who don’t want trans people to exist and this sports shit gives them an opportunity to cover their prejudices under the guise of championing women’s sports.
Lance Armstrong was threatening journalists’ lives so he can sell “I beat cancer on my own thanks to my own perseverance and grit and totally not with the help of highly expensive, illegal underground Italian PEDs” rubber wristbands.
But won’t someone think of the poor 17-year-old girl who lost a track and field race to a trans girl who probably spends her entire day getting at best verbally abused by every single classmate she sees and at worst gets regularly physically abused and now has grown ass men crying online about the fact that she exists and she finally found something she’s good at—which happens to be running fast—and the psychopath who spent a decade cheating to be famous is attacking her in the name of fairness in sports or whattheshit.
Let’s just agree to ignore everything Lance Armstrong does for the remainder of his meaningless life.
