I disparaged the woman for the hurtful actions she took. I don't need to know someone personally to know they are a piece of crap when their actions tell me all I need to know.
However the article just drove home that she is a hateful person.
It has now been reported that the timing of Turner’s act was inspired by her aim to get her protest recorded.
“I saw that I was going to be in a pool with Redmond, and from there I said, ‘OK, let’s do it. I’m going to take the knee,’” Turner told Fox News Digital
“I took a knee immediately at that point. Redmond was under the impression that I was going to start fencing. So when I took the knee, I looked at the ref and I said, ‘I’m sorry, I cannot do this. I am a woman, and this is a man, and this is a women’s tournament. And I will not fence this individual.'
“Redmond didn’t hear me, and he comes up to me, and he thinks that I may be hurt, or he doesn’t understand what’s happening. He asks, ‘Are you OK?’ And I said, ‘I’m sorry. I have much love and respect for you, but I will not fence you.”
I'm sorry but that lady absolutely rough ridin' sucks, get out of here with that "I have much love and respect for you" when you run to Fox News to publicize the story and make the trans woman's existence national news to millions of hateful people. (Actually I'm not sorry)
Also Martina can eff right off for acting like USA Fencing "threw her under the gender bus" when they were following established rules that would have disqualified her regardless of who she quit against. News flash, lesbians can do shitty things, too.

What hurtful actions did she take? To decline the match? lol. It's just so easy for you and others on here to dismiss the feelings of someone that doesn't agree with your thinking on the matter. On top of that, go ahead and judge that person as a piece of crap because she wanted to express her side of the story (I'll give you her being a tad over the top and running to Fox).
"News flash, lesbians can do shitty things, too". Another dumb rough ridin' lesbian eh? Must be tough to have to judge all of these vile beings on such a regular basis. I can feel the weight on your shoulders being judge extraordinaire and it saddens me.
