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’

yeah, the irony in protective gear causing more damage is due to players quite literally just impacting harder in general. You wouldn't want to do it without any protective gear, and you wouldn't and if you did impact, it was a lot more gracefully.
Though it makes sense misuse of them would also cause problems lol, reminds me of the DOT standards for motorcyle helmets, utter dogshit standard, and you should basically just ignore it, but it's also "technically better than nothing"
I remember hearing somewhere that people are more likely to tailgate someone on a bicycle if they’re wearing a helmet rather than not! That’s crazy to me!
that could be true, the opposite is true for people in larger vehicles though, you feel safer driving in a larger, higher vehicle, which is true, but the problem is that you're more dangerous to other drivers on the road as well.
