Have you ever noticed that black people have darker skin? You're prejudiced.
It's the obsession with the detail. Why is this even an issue? Because some want to bash trans people at every opportunity. Don't tell me everyone cares so much about this issue in sport it's worth this huge thread. It's just another avenue to dehumanise, like water fountains used to be.
They've lost the battle against black people. They've lost the argument against gay people. Now those who need to have prejudice are going after trans people. I wonder who is next?
Right.
Pull the ol' transphobic/racist/bigot card to try and shut down discussion. Typical.
And for the record, if it is shown that mtf folks actually don't have any sort of male advantage over the other women in a physical competition, then I would have absolutely ZERO problem with them competing against each other. I highly doubt there isn't, but if I am proven wrong, then I'd be fine with it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
