I don’t know who those people are and don’t have to answer for anything they’ve said or done. Stay on topic.
Are you trying to suggest that it would be acceptable to have MTF transpeople competing with women if they are “on hrt for a significant period of time”?
You can say that if it’s your argument. You don’t have to say “things are muddier” and expect me to fill in the gaps for you.
Don’t order me around. Maybe face the fact that you are bedfellows with fascist garbage that are using this wedge issue as a foot in the door to completely eradicate what they call “trans ideology” (a fucked up term).
I do have to say that because the issue is overly nuanced and you appear to want to dumb it down to a single issue. Thus: muddier. Hrt for 1-2+ years significantly lowers muscle mass and upper and lower body strength. Hemoglobin is lowered and stamina is impacted. Many of the competitive advantages are neutralized, but not all. Depending on the sport essentially all are. Wingspan and hand size do not change (unless transition started very early, which is another issue that right wing assholes try to block, but that’s a whole separate thing). So what sport? Rowing? More debatable. Golf? Less debatable. Transition started very early, like 7-8 years old? Less debatable.
See? Muddy, nuanced. But again, this has been discussed to death but you morons dont listen and keep just focusing on its not fair because biology even though your understanding of biology apparently ended in 8th grade with a c- in the class
I’m not looking for you to “dumb it down.” You need to take a stance and own it if you want to say anything of value.

It’s a yes or no question, but you seem to be incapable of giving a yes or no answer. If it depends on the sport, then say “yes for this sport, but no for this one.” You can’t say “more or less debatable” and then say “it’s been discussed to death” as though that means anything.
It’s been discussed so much that you’re unable to take a stand? Seems like more discussion is required, but like I said you don’t seem capable of having one. If you can’t stick your neck out and say “it’s okay after this criteria is met for trans women to compete with women in this sport,” then what are even trying to argue?
The real problem here is that you’re afraid of your own argument, so you want other people to make it for you. That’s just not good enough.

Yeah, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
