    It seems you’d really like me to be somebody else, that you can rail against for other opinions. It feels good when you can properly hate someone with moral conviction.

    But it’s not that easy. HRT is great for people that need it, but it can’t erase the effects of male puberty. In the case of AB Hernandez, do you think the women have a right to not play against biological males?

      can’t erase the effects of male puberty

      You say that and then jump straight to an example of a teenager in high school. Clown. This is why trans kids are given puberty blockers in more enlightened places. So that their teenage puberty doesn’t take hold before they’re old enough for bigger steps. But you probably want to end that too.

      I’m thinking that you’re exactly what I think you are.

        I’m confused why you apparently doubt that puberty affects teenagers in high school, but that’s not really relevant in the end.

        I mention AB Hernandez because it’s in the news, and the women involved are emphatically expressing that they don’t want to play against biological males. Pick another situation if you want, like Julie Peterson refusing to take the podium in protest after taking second place to someone that has the advantage of male puberty.

        The general point is what I’m asking about. Do you agree that women have the right to not compete against biological males, when they’re saying very strongly that they do not want to?

            If it makes it easier, focus on another example then. The actual part that needs answering is this:

            Do you agree that women have the right to not compete against biological males, when they’re saying very strongly that they do not want to?

            Julie Peterson is one concrete example so that’s it’s not just theoretical handwaving. The general question is what’s important though.
