Loud minority for sure. Republicans are right about biological sex being real (it's based off of gamete size, not chromosomes exactly), but that's more of a broken clock being right twice a day. Gender ideology had its run and is

I have personally gone through HR trainings that directly contradict what you're saying. "just and fair" allocation is also a vacuous qualifier. According to whom? If it's just and fair allocation according to someone th

If you're talking about trans women competing against women, then no. That's men competing against women. I suspect you're quite aware of that and intentionally confusing the two for rhetorical effect, but that's a great

That's the way that sex is defined. There's a few extremist academics who are trying to push their pet redefinition, but nothing serious. The UK Supreme Court ruling affirmed that recently from a legal standpoint, and that marks t

To your last point, most women don't want men in their sports, but have been pressured to go along with it. It is okay to exclude men from women's sports because women have the right to sex-specific spaces.

XXY and XYY and whatnot are all variations within a sex. Sex is defined by gamete size, females produce the larger gametes and males produce the smaller gametes. In humans, this is binary and immutable.

It's not squishy, and it's not hard. Woman means adult female human, and female means someone that produces the larger of two gamete sizes. That's the real, literal biological definition. Since I'm rate limited, to be sl

99th percentile men will beat 99th percentile women in sports 100% of the time. There is no fairness.

Michael Phelps has already had his records broken. Women will never break men's records across a wide range of sports. I keep seeing him brought up, but it's in no way comparable. Pushing for allowing men into women's sports

It is simple. Organisms that produce the larger of two gamete sizes are female, and organisms that produce the smaller of two gamete sizes are male. "Intersex" is a misleading term that's been phased out in favor of DSD ( htt

You can also just meditate or engage in other practices that have nothing to do with religion. Religion is unnecessary.

"Free will" is just a vague and unhelpful way of saying "unpredictability". Too many words have been spilled over such a trivial concept. At any rate, sometimes you might find something boring or offensive, while it rema

When you get this level of people jumping in to deflect based on tone, you know you're doing something right. The person you're responding to isn't acting in a curious manner, they're trying to poison the well.
