It fails to consider the nuances of the thousands of micro societies within American society. There are, without a doubt, places in this country where being white doesn't mean shit. Far left and far right people baffle me. It's extremism that should have no place in civilized society.
This is a very similar argument we're arguing against in regards to transwomen athletes.
Mathilda and others are saying, because there are a few "Obama Daughter" cisgender athletes, who have many of the same physical advantages a transgender athlete has, that it's bullshit to say transwomen have an inherent advantage just by being transgender.
Ah, but no one has been able to show that the average transwoman doesn't have an advantage over the average woman. Until there is enough science to support that, there will be conversations like this, and they will be legitimate.
For the record, I want transitioning to be so perfect that transwomen are not only able to compete with women, but are also indistinguishable. I'm just not sure we're there, and that doesn't make me a bad person.
