Robophobia
A robot tennis player stands on Centre Court at Wimbledon. Nearby, perimedics are covering the lifeless body of a human tennis player. The human player has a large wound in his midsection. His tennis racket lays nearby. It has a hole in the middle. Also nearby is a bloody tennis ball. In the background, television announcers report on the tragic event. Text on image: "There are some who will point to this tragedy and say, 'That's why robots should not be allowed to participate in human sports.' I urge you to remind those people that inclusion matters. That hate and bigotry have no home here."

Notes

This is my second thinly veiled comic about transgenderism, and this one is probably a little more revealing. I usually can understand the argument that someone on either side of the political aisle is making, even if I disagree with them. But the pro side of women in men's sports is not one of those. We all know that men are physically faster and stronger, this is completely non-controversial. We all know why women have their own divisions in sports. So the idea that allowing transgender women to play with cisgender women won't create any kind of competitive advantage or, in some sports, put the latter in danger seems completely disingenous. Anway, the robot has a headband. That's pretty funny, right?
