Your transphobia is showing, this is a bad look. TSSS... You are getting WAY too good at that... /side eye
You need to educate yourself before you wreck yourself! Google is free!
HRT does things to your body you wouldn't believe. There's no reasons to deny their identities, they are valid! And there is no reason why transwomen's participation in society should be stifled by antiquated ideas! If you would rather have transwomen compete with men does it mean you want transmen to perform with women since they are AFAB? You silly goose, transmen are men!
*sashay away*
I once had a (male) colleague argue with a straight face that women's sports records are only lower than men's because they lack the financial incentive to improve, since men's sports make so much more money.
It was like watching someone regurgitate a script he couldn't have possibly believed in, just to come off as appropriately progressive to the people we were with (and no, he wasn't being sarcastic).
I have seen a handmaiden argue that exact point, that women perform worse because of lack of funding, but that they are on their way to equalize things with men. My eyes rolled back all the way to the back of my head and i lost all respect for her.
It's actually very peaking to see them argue that point. It's like their mind went through a veil. Seeing people resort to fallacies like that just depresses me.
Like is this on the horizon for you? That's what you think will happen? That's the way the rabbit hole goes?
I suspect a lot of those types don't do anything physical, ever. They sucked at sport all their life and don't do any DIY in mixed company so it's easy to forget such things as the insane difference in grip strength even a boomer dude with a desk job will more often than not have over a younger fitter female. Or they just memory holed anything that doesn't fit the narrative. Damnatio Memorae.
I feel like there should be a way to be sympathetic with transpeople's deal and stay grounded in reality. Like you could be a transactivist, a feminist even who is embarrassed and saddened by the fact that there is a gap that will never be bridged, and that in some contexts those differences are really really relevant. Saddened but not in denial. Instead they craft slogans denying this, push out anybody trying to hold that line of thought and constantly use the few women who had an hysterectomy, are intersex or have hirsutism as some kind of gotcha.
