    All "trans women" are just delusional attention-seeking males who didn't get enough love from their daddy. By prancing around and pretending to be a woman, they can obtain the attention they never got before while gaining access to women-only spaces where women and girls can be found in a state of undress and vulnerability. Naturally, liberal degenerates want to do everything in their power to help delusional males get into women's showers and locker rooms.

    Happy to discuss if you decide to engage with the content of my post. The current topic isn’t gender vs sex.

    There's nothing to discuss. There are only men and women, and "gender" is just a canard.

    Sounds like you’re not well equipped to discuss the topic here. I’m sure someone else will come along to engage in “Nuh-uh, Yuh-hu” with you though.

    Sorry, but basic biology isn't really up for discussion.

    There’s entire fields of study of “basic” biology. Of course it’s up for discussion.

    remind me about that trans from Penn

    I think trans anything should be in an open class but I have no problem with women who want to pretend they are men competing against XY athletes. What I oppose is XY athletes being able to compete against XX women who are not taking steroids or testosterone

    Just say women and men. **** the language police. There is a reason woman and man have utility in the English language.

    Do you not have a problem with it because HRT affects athletic performance?

    here's my view-there should be two classes in athletics. Open and women only. And I say this as a former teaching professional in a sport where men have a huge advantage over women (Squash), as a player in a sport where men have somewhat of an advantage (table tennis) and sports where men have slight advantages -ISU skeet and Olympic style archery

    Make the men's category an open category, and keep the women's category. Kind of like Baseball, where there's not anything preventing women from playing men's MLB except not being good enough.

    Ok, if gender is not sex and someone has gender problems, why do they want medicine and operations to change sex?

    Which basic biology tells us changing sex is not possible.

    And interestingly enough, I haven't heard of a single transgender or feminist woman going to work in a coal mine, for example.
    If they demand, as they put it, equal rights, then send them to work in a coal mine. Or they can work unloading heavy trucks and railroad cars. But best of all, send them to a coal mine.

    This sounds a fair bit closer to the truth than the hatemongers. Do we even know how many (if any) trans women are competing at national level at the moment? Was there anyone available to enter?

    Gay judge in California case declaring marriages limited to men and women unconstitutional.
    In re Marriage Cases, 43 Cal.4th 757 | Casetext Search + Citator
    You can search for the 22 uses of the word "dignity". Most of them speaking of the "respect and dignity" owed the gays. Such as
    "entitled to the same respect and dignity accorded a union traditionally designated as marriage".

    Couple of dudes showed up looking for gold medals, "identified" as non binary.

    Dont cis womens sports prohibit testosterone injections as a performance enhancing drug? If so then transman cant compete with the girls. And I know its a double standard but I and society probably wont have a problem with transmen competing with the men. Doesnt give them an unfair advantage. That and it probably wont happen much if at all.

    Nicely demonstrates your point that "Gay weddings were all about societal validation" for the gays.

    Of course it is. Athletics have always been segregated upon the basis of sex. The biological difference between the sexes. The trans and their supporters think that athletics should instead be segregated on the basis of gender. What sex one "identifies" as. Totally subjective within the individuals mind.

    It would appear as though you allowed a random guy with an opinion on the internet have an effect on you. I see no hate, only a reasonable objection to allowing bio males compete against females. They were given extra consideration and even their own category, but still prefer cheating in these sports.
