I only recently came across this documentary by Matt Walsh which does an admirable job in pointing out the absurdity of the subversion of biological reality. And I just love the Masai scene!
Thank you so much for stating these facts so clearly and rationally. I've thouroughly enjoyed reading all three of these articles.
I've been writing about these issues myself for a while now, making similar points, though I tend to do it in a bit of a harsher tone than you do.🙂 I've been coming to some realizations recently that there is definitely a need for a more rigorous understanding from both sides of this issue. As you said, opposing transwomen in sports need not equate to opposing transwomen. Still, people do need to say something, and it seems more people are beginning to.
I'm very encouraged by this kind of writing, so thanks again.
“But MTF trans in sport is a big issue. Trans volleyball players in high school. 6’4” Tiffany Abreu in Olympic volleyball. Cece Telfer pictured above. Lia Thomas, Caster Semenya…”
Are you right to include Caster in this? I didn’t think she was MTF.
Great set of articles. Totally agree that natal women with no hormone doping should be its own exclusive category. If we are in fact trying to encourage all types on a spectrum of gender identities to compete it may also be more attractive to set new categories rather than just have an open division for everyone else not natal female, as in: M - MTF - FTM - F . Yes if a person is in a category all by themselves then they set the record ( ya gotta start somewhere ) and more will join in time and break those records for the love of sport and competition.
