Ah, the arrogance and condescension from the extreme far left that everyone hates. Good to see.
These people are of course totally cool with the far/extreme right that has actually taken over though.

Judging from your words, yes. People getting brainwashed from crap like that. In the other thread that got locked because of the troll, I dug up many studies that pertained to crime relating to transgender people in the UK, and proved that much of what he was saying, and the crap that youâre repeating here, is simply false.
But you do you.
The kind of people who think they represent âeveryoneâ, and think that support for transgender people is âextreme far leftâ is exactly the kind of brainless deplorable that is in that cult of Trump/Musk.
I see youâve completely ignored all the other points that have been repeatedly made to you in rebuttal of your bullshit about the elections though, good on you.
Genuine cases like this are frighteningly rare though. That doesnt make them unworthy of concern, but when it comes to youth sports there are so many more common ways parents and athletes abuse the rules to give the athlete an advantage. It is clarifying to realize that none of these people who claim to care about fairness in sports and athlete safety give a shit about these more common issues.
And of course, having a lifetime involved in competitive sports I am close to a large number of women who are considered not feminine looking. Many sufficiently so that they are now unable to remain unscathed by this emotional reaction to a complex issue. See Khelif being roped into these discussions. But also see examples of even someone as famous as Katie Ledeky getting identified online as someone who must be trans because âlook at itâ.
I dont expect an response, but Iâll ask again, @toro how is a biological make defined?

Ah, the arrogant condescension of the left. âEveryone but me is stupid. Everyone else is brainwashed.â Great argument.
And FTR I referred to sex crimes.
As I said earlier in the thread - Trump was elected because whatever misgivings his followers have about him the ultimate issue is that he hates the same people they do. Theyâll give up almost anything just to hear a politician justify their feelings about trans-people and immigrants.

Iâm not getting into a âis the world round or flatâ argument either.
It was pretty evident from the way you have already engaged that you wouldnât.

@Arminius: genuine, or fake news?
Then why did you ask?
I dont know. Maybe giving someone a chance to demonstrate they are better than I had assumed? If you dont want to take that opportunity then fair enough. I would have thought that if this was indeed so simple you could do so with only a simple sentence.

This is the study quoted. But just reading the methodology makes me want to give up even explaining it.
Thankfully, someone on Reddit has already explained one of the key issues:
EDIT: Forgot to mention, but of course that tabloid doesnât actually mention the sample size issue. Literally one of the first things in an introductory class at university is about sample size. But including nuances that undermine the clickbaity point of course doesnât work for âjournalismâ these days.

Probably a higher percentage of sex offenders in the new Trump cabinet

Always great to use a right leaning tabloid as your source too!

Whatever. But thatâs not the point. It doesnât matter what you or I think.
The point is that this radical gender ideology cost the Democrats the election. In swing states amongst swing voters, it was the number one issue that caused swing voters to vote for Trump.

Probably.
It just shows you how awful and disconnected the Democrats are such that a grifter like Trump can get elected.
When a party claims to speak for a cohort, and 70% of that cohort votes against that party, it might be a good idea for that party to examine why.

Someone needs to tell the Democratic Party to not bother doing a post-mortem, because @toro has solved the case, folks.
I donât think Democrats should turn their back on trans-rights just because Republicans are currently able to demonize them.
In 30 years time people will be shocked that this was even a debate.

Why did you post that without a land acknowledgment? You really should, you know.
