    No, I said people are being duped into debating by bigots. This is about politics, not sports.

      That’s a strawman.

      You are saying that people do not reach that conclusion on their own.

        Has Domi pointed out elsewhere in this thread. There is no evidence that transgender women have a physical advantage over cisgender women, provided they’ve been on HRT for 2+ years. here’s the meta-analysis they linked

        So yeah, based off of:

        It shouldn’t, but it does. As a matter of what is statistically relevant about the dichotomy between males and females.

        You’re either a bigot trying to use sports to hurt trans people, or you’ve been duped by bigots. So, unless you’re made of straw Qevlarr isn’t using a straw man argument.

          Cool, I’ll check it out, but the claim is still a strawman.

          I’m a vegan. When i see people eating beef, I don’t claim “either you like hurting cows, or you’ve been duped by people who hate animals”.

          The claim itself is stupid and needlessly inflammatory.

            I’m not a vegan or even a vegetarian, but I wouldn’t argue with you if you made that claim, because the only reason we as a society eat as much meat as we do, is because it’s normalised at every level for economic reasons.

            If I can manage that, you can manage to not argue with trans people trying to deal with the active and ongoing exclusion they face.
