- bring_it_up 3y agoWhat would be the significant differences at "stage X of transition"?
- Shawnj2 3y agoIf your goal is to filter out people pretending to be trans to play in the women’s bracket that would suffice Also at some point trans people look nearly identical to straight people so no one would even know the difference without scrutinizing records
- bring_it_up 3y agoThe goal is to have women-only spaces, in this case a competitive space. It's essential to filter out men for this purpose, including those who pretend to be women. Making an exception for the latter if they make some attempt to perform femininity, even if it's a somewhat convincing act, really just undermines the entire point.
