The only reason I posted about it in the first place is it was being painted as a pshycological issue or masquerading as a woman and that wasn’t the case is my point.

It doesn't really matter at this point when the Olympics doesn't have its shit together and are unprepared to handle any controversy in advance. They are the only ones that should be held accountable, not anybody here.
The person in question is a biological woman. She has a genetic condition that causes her body to produce testosterone instead of estrogen. She is not trans. Whether that condition gives her an unfair advantage or more important, one that endangers her opponents can be argued.

This whole thing is a dumb discussion, but that’s not necessarily true.

Do you often use a self-proclaimed "Trafficker in misinformation under the guise of satire." from the Babylon Bee as your expert?

It's very simple, having an XX sex chromosome means you're female. It IS necessarily true.
It was reported the person has XY. Of course no one has actually verified it either way, so not sure why you’re acting like it’s a fact.
And Seth Dillon is fine, it’s his personal account not his business. He’s also retweeting a thousand or so word thread.
Here is that thread, since you’d rather just focus on something dumb.

The IBA (the Russian controlled boxing federation that banned her) went to the Mike Lindell school of providing proof.
If you want a job with Harris for President, you can choose from 9 sets of pronouns.

Won't work for me, did they take it down?
So, the Dems will have a long road to winning on cultural issues as long as they insist on behaving like this guy.

They insist on ignoring the fact that "trans" relies on the very basic facts of biology. In order to be trans, one must first recognize that they are one sex or the other before they can make moves to portray themselves as another sex.
This is baked into the cake.
So when people like this guy wild out over the very idea that a trans woman is a biological male, they are in fact being quite contradictory to their own argument.
If I have any doubt on somebody’s gender and I have to address them, I will ask them what their name is. I will only address them in their name. If their sexuality is a problem for them it will be them or they or whatever that will make it a problem.
If not, their sexuality is of no concern to me unless they want to have sex with me. At that point it becomes an issue, and it’s my choice. Otherwise it would just be creepy or rape. I honestly don’t feel this is a political issue. It is merely one of common sense

Well, obviously as an advocate of the devil, we know you're gonna have sex with them! 🤣
All joking aside, the problem is that it can't even be talked about without people wanting to shut down and shut out any calm and reasonable discussion about it. And as the matter is increasingly becoming known as being an issue in schools, the talk needs to happen somewhere. Regardless of just how many people are dismissive of the amounts of importance, there are equally the amount of people who do take contention with it. This is where Title IX comes in and why it is a political issue. Just recently, for example, a student is under threat of suspension/expulsion from school because they pointed at a trans student.
And we should be able to talk about it without constantly having to go through the litany of qualifiers in the way you did.

It’s not an issue in schools

You can keep saying that. It was literally one of the top reasons Trump was elected. The gays should have never let them jump on their platform. If the left was smart they’d stop celebrating mental health issues, it’s an easy win.

I think the T part was cool until politicians started taking up with activists. Now it's gone so far as to just turn people away from it all. Even the days are starting to speak out unfavorably. They want no parts of transing kids or drag queens story hour. It's repulsive to them, too.

that is outside the schools. Inside the schools its not an issue.

electing a president over an issue that is less than 1% of the population is wild lol

Yet pushed on the other 99%. Not good math.

The Trans debate was a small(er) issue, from what I saw. The reason most people voted for Trump was inflation/economy, immigration and the clusterfuck of how the Dems were/are handling international relations.
I think, like myself, a lot of people think it's bullshit that men can compete against women in sports at the higher levels. Nothing says "I suck against my own gender so I'll change it so I can win and feel good about myself" like trans men competing against women. Also not a fan of potentially allowing little kids to make the call on their gender. But at the end of the day, this wasn't a top reason for voting for him. Way down my list, along with abortion.

It’s weird that a party cow tows so much to 1% of the population going through a mental health crisis. I didn’t make the numbers up, they came from here

From the vids I've seen all the MSM talked about this one cultural having a larger impact this election than it normally would have. Even MSNBC said that the Trump ad (Kamala is for they/them, Trump is for you) played during sports had a big impact.
I think that when the Payton McNabb story came out, people decided they wanted no part of that shit happening.

It resonated heavily with men and I know a lot of younger men who are sick of the woke culture.

Men with daughters playing sports it was huge.
It was also big for women who actually played women's sports.
My 42 year old lesbian sister, the demographic you would 100% assume would always vote democratic...refuses to vote for ANYONE who is "ok" with biological men playing with women in sports.
She was a 3 sport athlete in HS, very good (all district level) at 2 of them.
