Men and women aren't physically equal in strength... and that's wholly irrelevant to the topic. Because a transwoman is not a man.
Having them either forced to compete with men when they're women, or forced to compete with other transwomen, or not allowed to compete in sports at all is all very wrong.
Trans women are women. Cis women are women. Whether someone is trans or cis simply does matter. And a trans woman winning in women's sports is just a woman winning in women's sports. Tired of the bigotry. Whether someone is Trans or Cis is wholly irrelevant. It's the women's category, not the ciswomen's category.
I still think this thread title violates the prime directive, because no "man" named tiffany is dominating women's pro volleyball in Brazil.
If this title was "a woman named Tiffany is dominating women's pro volleyball in Brazil" the response would be "Great. Good for her." and there would be nothing worth debating. And this is my point.
To call a transwoman a man is bigotry of the worst kind, it's like calling a black person a nigger. Bigotry is not against AF's rules, but violation of the prime directive is. And the thread title violates it. I did decide to report it. This thread isn't about a man, it's about a transwoman, so the title is a fucking disgusting misrepresentation. And many people are debating this as if we're talking about a man competing with a woman. And it's so fucking wrong.
It irks me when otherwise progressive people who aren't bigoted about anything else, will be transphobic. I made a whole thread about Sam Harris not getting it and many didn't get it. Apparently it's okay to laugh in agreement at a friend making transphobic remarks but it wouldn't be okay if it were homophobic remarks or racist remarks. Get with the goddamn program. This is 2018 and we're debating whether a woman should be able to compete in women's sports. Like, is it okay if she's trans? Yes it's okay if she's trans. What do you want her to do? Compete with the men? You're disgusting.
