    I just said this in another post. But most people, including on the left, have reservations about biological males in women’s sports. And it is not an issue that isn’t “statistically relevant,” but even offering that as a reason why it is okay means it is only okay because just a few women and girls are impacted.

    And the issue isn’t even thought through. It makes as much sense to divide sports by gender identity as it would by dividing sports by sexual orientation. What do either of these “internal states” have to do with sports performance?

      Trans people are not robots, we are all biological. The term you are looking for is trans women in women’s sport.

        No, because I am also referencing girls sports. And those who don’t identify as “trans” such as “non-binary” etc. And “biological males” refers to males-by-biology, which now has to be specified as there is no other word that correlates to biological sex.

          Non-binary people are still trans, they are not a right wing dog whistle/slur of “biological male”.

          I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt, but your 20hr old account post history is so full of “Soft” ant-trans rhetoric that what you are is telling.

        But what if they tied for 5th place? I think that might be a pretty big deal, actually.
