Colonial Experimentation Paved the Way for Transphobia at the Olympics

See the first video here! https://youtu.be/ueGw_L7FVYM See the second video here! https://youtu.be/zg0xv-BCF98 This video was recorded on the 20th of July and the thumbnail has been updated in light of recent events surrounding Imane Khelif and Lin Yu‑ting due to the video's highly relevant content. Today’s video breaks down the fact that much of the anti-trans rhetoric in sports is firmly rooted in colonial violence, including (according to multiple sources), human experimentation on non-consenting Black women as recently as 2012.
