I feel that allowing them to compete against women is shitting on decades of progress in women’s rights. Women have fought, bled and died to try to have equal representation and treatment as men. For someone to come along with a man made biological advantage and cast your accomplishments aside, it is truly no different than doping.
Someone said it recently: after all these years, you’re allowing the patriarchy to win again.
It’s almost like the far left had gone too far and wrap around to be the far right now
Being recognized as a man or a woman is for the vast majority of people only about the genitals/chromosomes. I’ve been told gender is a construct so I dont see how its disrespectful to treat it as such. The very fact you have to say a trans-woman rather than “a woman is a woman” says it all.
I don’t hate or care if someone wants to live the life of the opposite sex. I’ll call you whatever name you want, but at the end of the day 99+% of people have a specific set of chromosomes and that just is what it is.
Because normal people think of the xx chromosome when they think of a woman…
Yeah, they’re using the essentialist argument of what makes a woman a woman and a man a man. It’s a metaphysical black hole.
Used to be they pointed out to the fact women can get pregnant or have periods. But many cis women cannot become pregnant. After around 50 years old, cis women stop having periods. Are they not women? Were they women before 50, and now they are not?
Then we found chromosomes, and they’ve been onto that as a way to be materialist (can’t deny science), but they are wrong because they are still metaphysical. If you point out the diversity of chromosomes (intersexuality for example), they fall back to the ultimate argument, the unfalsifiable quality of “there’s just something about being a woman”. A general, mystical essence of what being a woman is and you are only imbued with it if you were born a woman. They can’t prove it exists, but you can’t prove it doesn’t exist either.

This makes me laugh. I use to use that comparison with my classmates in other topics when they say something absurd.
jfc the comments on that post are awful
