Which doesn't matter in any way, shape, or form anyway. The original tweet is making that point. Phelps is a fucking fish mutant and we let him compete as a "man" but a woman somehow must conform to some platonic ideal of a woman to even be considered such.

It's fucking sexism, and genetics doesn't factor into it in the slightest.
