    Who said I don't want to discuss the main topic?

    I think it's beyond foolish to allow a guy who now "identifies" as a woman to compete against women. There...I discussed it. Now, about this foolish solution to have transgender leagues....shall we discuss??? :)

    Not really, since the point of the thread was about how feminists feel about transgender athletes.

    Wait...hold on...you said "Don’t want to discuss the main point of the thread, don’t participate. Wow, kinda goes both ways huh?" So then I discuss but you tell me I can't discuss because the discussion is about how feminists feel about transgender athletes. Which begs the question...why are YOU in this discussion thread? Are you a feminist?

    I'm not really here to discuss the legitimacy of transgenderism.

    You miss the point. There is no binary comment available. Would you insist, for example, on a woman with high natural testosterone levels to take hormone suppressants?

    It has, but clearly you're not able to understand what you actually type. No problem. Bye bye.

    Then why did you bring it up? Seems silly to mention things you DON'T want to talk about. Most people, when they don't want to talk about something don't go out of their way to mention the very thing they don't want to talk about. Just sayin

    No it has nothing to do with the topic unless you're insisting that such women are transgender to wit I disagree.

    They would have to, since most sports associations have ruled that women with high testosterone levels can be barred from competition.

    The issue you said you didn't want to discuss. Have you forgotten already? It was like 27 minutes ago

    That would be your brilliant idea of supporting the idea of transgender sporting leagues to keep the playing field level.

    Wasn't my idea. and if you want to play gacha that I brought it up and don't want to talk about it while you got me.

    are you still don't want to talk about this it's a stupid line of discussion and I'm not going to.

    You can throw your little temper tantrum all you want but it's not going to happen.

    What is it about the title “What do people who are feminists think about this” that confuses you so much?

    What is it about "I personally would support the idea of transgender sporting leagues to keep the playing field level." being in the OP that confuses YOU so much?
    Also, why are you in this thread if you believe only feminists can respond with thoughts on the subject? I'll ask again...are you a feminist?

    Given how emotional you are over this I will do you a favor and move on from your silly idea. I made my point anyway ;)

    I'm not certain as to why this has been posted for feminist response...this is a human issue.

    I completely support the trans community and wholly support those who are living their lives as they feel authentic. Unfortunately, in sporting events, biology plays a role. Especially in a sport like power lifting. We don't have women and men competing against one another because of the physiological differences. And because Gregory had not transitioned physically to a female, she benefited from an unfair advantage.

    Already did. But I was told by AZBob that only feminists are allowed to present any thoughts on the subject. Which is it? Can anyone opine or just feminists?
