To clarify, the pictured poster Caroline Kwan is an ally, not a TERF. The TERFs referred to in the title are the ones ‘protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is’

i think we need a normie olympics, it'd be like the paralympics, but for people randomly selected from the average population.

Oh, right! Now I know why the image in my head was so vivid. I actually saw it before

Fencing would be pretty amusing.

bonus points if it's horse based (though that's just jousting)

Diving, pole jumping, gymnastics in general

I told her the same thing. She should pitch it for the next Olympics. She'd be 14 when that happens. Gives her four years to plan.

You should watch Takeshis Castle then. It's pretty close to normie olympics.

Sometimes athletes go on, but the obstacles are so fucky even they struggle with it.

oh right, that show, i remember hearing about it at one point, what a weird show.
