    Okay, so you admit that sports isn’t fair and that fairness isn’t the point.

    So you just think trans women should be excluded.

    Someone who has a genetic mutation that makes their wingspan unnaturally wide has an advantage that no other woman can have. So, no, the only justification possible here is that trans women are not women and so therefore do not deserve to compete as women. And you’re okay with saying to young trans boys and girls, that they should give up on sports and athletics, because those things are only for cis boys and girls.

    Whats wrong with having many categories of competition to make things fair? Or whats wrong with the methodology of the special Olympics, which uses a combined leader board with calculations for handicap and advantage?

    There are actual solutions here, but instead you just want to exclude trans women. Just like Caster Semenya, you don’t think trans women are woman enough to be treated as such.

      Right. And we’ve decided the advantages we are ok with accepting are those that women who have gone through puberty as a woman have. And advantages that fall outside of that are things we are not ok with.
