Quite honestly, I understand this much better than you, and you are wise to discontinue.
No one has claimed otherwise.
I agree that women should compete against women, and men against men.
Transgender and sports

I'm just relieved the topic of abortion was dropped.
Now that you mention it, I would like to point out that trans women are, with current medical science, pretty much guaranteed never to need an abortion.
It’s what you want to be the case. You want to sit here with semantics and act as though sports hasn’t been broken into women and men since sports began. There’s a spectrum on gender, none of it changes your actual sex. All you understand is the propaganda you want to push. And if that is what you want well….that’s what makes the discussion a complex one. The discussion on transgenderism itself is a complex one. I know I know…you know your political brand so to you it’s a decided discussion, but it’s not.
What you say when you wish to shut down discussion on a complex issue.
This should have nothing to do with politics at all. Gender identity isn't based on politics. It's not like a 13 year old says, I think I lean strongly liberal and identify as a Democrat, might as well become transgender... It fits my politics.
It's not that complex.
Just let them play and go back to not caring about women's sports.

It's not about fairness equity.
It's about participating in athletic events with those who ate born biologically male or those biologically female. To me, that's how sports are divided and should be.
If you have a different opinion, I honestly respect you and that's your right. It's an agree to disagree.
Our high horses though, right?

You're so edgy for supporting trans by being misogynistic.

Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) affected by social contagion is not as far fetched as you seem to imply.

The lack of childhood history was critical, since traditional gender dysphoria typically begins in early childhood.

You’re right it shouldn’t, but it has been made into a political issue. And I agree, I think the discussion on kids sports like the legislature is having is stupid. I think the larger discussion on transgenderism and sports is a bit more complex. But certainly, leave the kids alone.

Unfortunately, it has become political. Very much so too.
