"mainstream media" - you mean like this echo chamber? I literally never would have heard of this nonsense if if wasn't for Lemmy. So yes, i would gladly have ignored the stupidity for what it is, stupid. Acknowledge the stupidity of it and move on. I'd much rather talk about the thousands of good things that the Olympics bring out. Like her winning after likely practicing her fucking ass off and putting life on hold for this one dream.

It was widely reported on, including probably whatever newspapers you read, even if you didn’t read the story. You not reading it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a widely known about event of the 2024 Olympics.

Okay, so go do that instead of coming into a thread about a gold medal Olympian facing transphobia to complain that people are acknowledging it.
