Yeah but there's still variety even among cisgender people. I'm 5'4, and as much as I love running I'm never going to be as fast as a 6'4 guy, I just don't have the leg span. By the same token though (and I don't mean this to be funny or shady, it's true) I'm still going to run better than a guy who is overweight or has breathing problems. No two people have the exact same ability in sports, even if they are the same gender.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
