They think trans women have an unfair advantage in... fishing?

Three members of an English women’s fishing team in England are refusing to compete at the world championships due to the fact that one of their own teammates is trans.

The Shore Angling World Championships will take place in Italy in November, and the board of the sport’s governing body, the Angling Trust, has said it will not prevent trans angler Becky Lee Birtwhistle Hodges from applying to compete.

Ah yes, because it's a "shitty vegan" idea to not want creatures to be stabbed through the mouth with a fishing hook and thrown back into the water for funsies. Seriously, if we caught and injured any other creature and threw it back just for the fun of it, people would be outraged.
