@nyaraVT You'd never say:
Yes, black people have privileges over trans-black people* i.e., white people who identify as black
No, it's not the other way around
No, trans-black people don't have white privilege
What's the difference?
@MinnOrchia@MimiAugello@stellacreasy Because there isn't *a way* that women think, dress, and act. So the idea of 'thinking, dressing, acting' like a woman makes no sense.
Women are just human beings who think, dress, act, however they like.
@stellacreasy This is irrelevant. The argument for keeping the female category female doesn't need 1 in 9 men to beat Serena Williams. It only needs men who aren't world class tennis players (but are really good at tennis) to be competitive. And Serena herself conceded the latter.
@MinnOrchia@jk_rowling@nyaraVT Another point of weirdness: you spend so much time telling us that we should respect how you (and trans people) self-define. But then you're telling females that they're not entitled to self-definition?
Is self-ID bullshit or not?
@TrishDenning@jamesdavis6939 This really is the narcissism of TRA exemplified.
James means none of the above because this isn't *actually* about trans people. It's simply about basic equality and fairness for female athletes. Because, and here's a radical thought: THEY matter too.
@jamesdavis6939 Thank you James. We need more men like you.
And god damn, what sort of local race has more than 3 sub 1.10 men in a half marathon? A village of freaks!
You smashed it in all the ways today ๐ค
@beckyk21k@mara_yamauchi Such a weird take.
It's like saying that black people should have had to pay for desegregation in the 60s because they campaigned for it?
God forbid we hand the bill to the white, racist legislators who installed segregation in the first place.

@DavidCamham1@MeMyselfOnline@ZackPolanski Gaza Health Ministry reports 72,000 Palestinian's killed. At least half of which are combatants.
Where did you get 680,000 from?
I'm not saying I support this btw. I just want to understand why you have estimated this many casualties.
@MinnOrchia@JalkanenLaura@speakoutsister Yes, of course. In all contexts except where having a *complete* biologically female profile is especially important. Like medicine and, in my view, competitive sports.
