Neskutečně mě vysírá, jak česká média píšou o Zdeňkovi Koubkovi v ženském rodě. "Žena, která se stala mužem." "Světová atletka, která bojovala v mužském těle." Oni to podávají, jak kdyby byl v duši žena, ale tělo si upravil proto, že už předtím měl mužské tělesné prvky, tak aby to jako "dokončil". Přitom to tak není. On byl intersex, označen za ženu při narození a prošel mužskou tranzicí. Mě ten jeho příběh zní jako příběh intersex trans muže. Ale oni ho furt misgenderujou!! Celý článek o něm píšou v ženském rodě a až po jeho tranzici o něm začnou psát v mužském rodě. A život před tranzicí zabírá většinu článku. Takhle se o trans lidech nepíše, vážení. Zkuste se trochu informovat. Bože můj. Já to tady tak nesnášim.

Saw your addition to the Zdeněk Koubek post. You should look up the Chevalière d'Éon if you don’t know of her already. The podcast “Noble Blood” did an episode on her.

I did, actually! Not super well but I think they were brought up at some point in one of my gender studies/history classes. But thank you!

“Gender Testing” in sports is and always have been about intersex people.

The whole thing started in the games in Berlin 1936 (the ones in Nazi Germany in case you didn’t know) targeting Stanisława Walasiewicz (aka Stella Walsh) an intersex woman, and AFAB intersex athletes Mark Weston (born Mary Louise Edith Weston) and Zdeněk Koubek (born Zdena Koubková).

Later examples famous examples were Heinrich Ratjen (born Dora Ratjen) AFAB intersex man, Foekje Dillema an intersex woman, Ewa Kłobukowska another intersex woman, Erik Schinegger (born Erika Schinegger) AFAB intersex man, Maria José Martínez-Patiño intersex woman. Even this century we have:Pratima Gaonkar an intersex woman (who killed herself after failing the sex test), Santhi Soundarajan, Dutee Chand, and of course Caster Semenya, all of them intersex women of color

So clearly, “sex testing” or “gender testing” has never been about “fairness” or “protecting females” it’s about policing intersex people’s bodies

Realized that your repertoire has a noticeable lack of Czechs! I think I’ve recommended Toyen before, but I was wondering if Zdeněk Koubek was on the list? He was a trans athlete from the ‘30s, representing Czechoslovakia in the world games as a runner.

Yes he is! Thank you for the suggestion nonetheless =)

Jen 31 procent. Tak nízkou úspěšnost přestupů měl nový sportovní šéf Sparty, když působil na Letné minule

Novým sportovním ředitelem Sparty by se měl podle informací webu iSport.cz a deníku Sport stát Zdeněk Ščasný. Je to překvapivá zpráva, neboť šedesátiletý kouč opouštěl Letnou před patnácti měsíci poté, co doma prohrál derby se Slavií 0:2. A rovněž bilance přestupů, na kterých se během svého druhého trenérského angažmá ve Spartě podílel, nebyla nějak úchvatná.

Ze zatím strohých a neoficiálních informací vyplývá, že Zdeněk Ščasný se vrací do Sparty s úkolem postavit společně s trenérem Andreou Stramaccionim tým, který by měl na jaře srazit z druhého místa Slavii, na niž zatím ztrácí čtyři body. Je to zajímavá volba z mnoha důvodů – a tím hlavním je fakt, že při zatím posledním působení ve Spartě Ščasný svým počínáním na přestupovém trhu znova nepřesvědčil. Vyplývá to ze statistiky transferů jeho éry, které blog 90-minut.cz rozdělil do tří kategorií – trefy, průměr a propadáky.

Jelikož Ščasný nahradil odvolaného Vítězslava Lavičku v dubnu 2015 a sám se z Letné poroučel v září 2016, měl celkem tři přestupová období, během nichž mohl přivést nové hráče. Natvrdo jich přišlo celkem šestnáct, nicméně bingo bylo pouze pět z nich, což značí velmi nízkou úspěšnost 31 procent.

Naopak jasnými propadáky bylo hned sedm transferů – a jen malou útěchou může být, že až na ostravského Daniela Holzera šlo o hráče bez smlouvy, za které nemusela Sparta platit odstupné. Nicméně jména jako Franci Litsingi, Marco Paixao či Markus Steinhöfer budí její fanoušky ze spaní dodnes. Mimochodem, třeba Litsingi je momentálně bez angažmá. V jedenatřiceti letech…

V rámci objektivity je však třeba také dodat, že Ščasný samozřejmě neměl coby trenér v personální politice Sparty absolutní rozhodovací právo a zřejmě byli i hráči, kteří přišli proti jeho vůli. Navíc jeho kádr výrazně oslabily odchody Pavla Kadeřábka, Ladislava Krejčího, Patrika Schicka a Jakuba Brabce, za které klub inkasoval úhrnem přes 400 milionů korun

PŘESTUPY DO SPARTY V ÉŘE ZDEŇKA ŠČASNÉHO TREFY – 31 % Tomáš Koubek ↔ Hradec Králové ↔ 10.000.000 Josef Šural ↔ Liberec ↔ 14.000.000 Martin Frýdek ↔ Liberec ↔ 5.000.000 Ondřej Zahustel ↔ Mladá Boleslav ↔ 13.000.000 Vjačeslav Karavajev ↔ CSKA Moskva ↔ 27.000.000

PRŮMĚR – 25 % Václav Kadlec ↔ Midtjylland ↔ 73.000.000 Kehinde Fatai ↔ Astra Giurgiu ↔ 18.000.000 Tomáš Rosický ↔ Arsenal ↔ volný hráč Viktor Budinský ↔ Vlašim ↔ 2.000.000

PROPADÁKY – 44 % Daniel Holzer ↔ Baník ↔ 10.000.000 Franci Litsingi ↔ Teplice ↔ volný hráč Marko Paixao ↔ Wroclaw ↔ volný hráč Markus Steinhöfer ↔ Aalen ↔ volný hráč Petr Jiráček ↔ HSV ↔ volný hráč Ondřej Mazuch ↔ Dněpropetrovsk ↔ volný hráč Michal Kadlec ↔ Fenerbahce ↔ volný hráč

“The present case of Zdenke [sic] Koubková, openly and fully stated, with a well-known name involved, and with every particularity of time, place, and circumstance, removes all doubt and difficulty and entitles us to point with some pride to our illuminating saying: SEX IS AN ACCIDENT!” – Editors, “Urania,” 1936 . Picture: Zdeněk Koubek (December 8, 1913 – June 12, 1986), 1936. . Zdeněk Koubek, who was born one hundred and four years ago today, was a track star from Czechoslovakia; assigned female at birth and given the name Zdena "Zdeňka" Koubková, Koubek, as @time explained in August 1936, “set Czechoslovak women’s records in the broad jump, high jump, a half-dozen sprint and middle-distance runs; a women’s world record for the 800-metre run in 1934.” . In 1936, a year after retiring from competition, Koubek underwent gender-affirming surgery, publicly reemerging using his real name, Zdeněk. Koubek did not pursue any athletic opportunities until he joined his brother’s rugby club after World War II. . Zdeněk Koubek died on June 12, 1986, at the age of 73; he was survived by his wife.

I can write you a list, that is a period we have been able to cover quite a bit, fortunately! Personally, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate reentering the twenties than looking back to how our queer ancestors dealt with it last time. This probably isn’t all of our articles from this time period, but they are the ones I remember:
