[in a well equipped sports room, a character rants] Someone has to say it… Some athletes have an advantage over others and it's ruining sports!

[in a soccer field, a smug character points and replies] Damn right buddy, that's why we should ban privileged kids from competitive sports: their wealth gives them access to better equipment, coaching, sparring partners, free time. it's just unfair to the rest!

You're right. If you didn't realize though, I'm 99% sure this is a comic about trans people in sports. The anti-Trans people say we need to protect women (or whatever useful group) from unfair competitors. I don't see them trying to protect other people who aren't genetically or environmentally disadvantaged though. Sports aren't fair, and any female professional athlete can kick my ass any day, even though I'm a man. To be competitive at all, you need to win several lotteries first.

I didn’t realize this was trans people in sports.
