The right to mis-define oneself

[henryp]

I_am_not_mafia, I'm curious how you feel TG people should be treated with regards to things like sports, where they could have an unfair advantage.  As I mentioned before, imagine if Jenner, a superior world-class athlete as a man, had competed as a woman.  In this case, should she be accepted as a woman because she identifies as a woman?  Or should she be prevented from competing as a woman because her physical past would give her an unfair advantage over natural-born women?

I can't remember if it was you who said it, but probably the smart thing here would have been to have different terms for sex and identity since they are different things.

I think there'd be a lot less objections and confusion from a lot of people if that were the case.

This sort of relates to the NAACP lady as well. As there is culture and there is race. Black gets that double usage there, which again confuses things. More so, with 'race' being a bit wonky in and of itself.
