I Pit Aspidistra

See, as far as I’m concerned this post of yours passes the (admittedly low) bar of being able to discuss physiological differences between transgender women and cisgender women, and the issue of what kinds and extents of physiological differences should be considered to make athletic competition officially “unfair”, without misgendering anybody or using hate speech against transgender people.

So yeah, I’d be willing to have that conversation with you, if I thought either of us really knew enough about the relevant biological, psychological or sociological issues to make a dent in our ignorance, which I kind of doubt is the case.

And while that may be a low bar, it’s one that many previous discussants of this issue (as well as the cited article in the OP of the closed thread) haven’t been able to clear, so, y’know, credit where it’s due.

(One passage from that article that I must say I heartily enjoyed, however:

The ACLU, as usual, rocks.) :smile:
