Science reminder, folks: there are only two genetic sexes in the XY sex-determination system -- XY (male) and XX (female). (Yes, I know there are certain circumstances where this isn't the case but for all intent and purpose, there are two sexes).This brave woman is going to be harassed and threatened with her life but I don’t see her backing down the insane people who let this happen.
It is entirely possible to say that we should treat all individuals with the dignity and respect we deserve as human beings; in it also entirely possible to state clearly that if you were born with XY chromosomes, either compete in the men's division or compete in an open, all-inclusive division.BUDAPEST — FINA, the international governing body for swimming and other aquatics sports, adopted a new gender inclusion policy that prohibits male-to-female transgender athletes who transitioned after beginning male puberty from competing in women’s events.
“We are faced with such a delicate balancing act,” FINA President Husain Al-Musallam said. “We have to protect the rights of all our athletes to compete, but we also have to protect competitive fairness at our events, especially women’s competition and also the past record and achievement of the women.”
Now, with that out of the way, I believe this woman in the OP, Ms. Soule, was grievously wronged when Connecticut allowed transgender individuals to compete in women's sports. Yes, I believe that; I also believe trans individuals should be allowed to compete in compete in their own specific open division as FINA recently announced...It is entirely possible to say that we should treat all individuals with the dignity and respect we deserve as human beings; in it also entirely possible to state clearly that if you were born with XY chromosomes, either compete in the men's division or compete in an open, all-inclusive division.
All I got to say on this to that woman up there is "Suck it up, buttercup."Yup if they want there own little song and dance I fully support it.
But it seems to me these are people who can’t cut it as male athletes and they can’t except it and think by beating women will somehow make them feel better.

Women won’t and shouldn’t. Pretend on your own time not women dedicating themselves to a sport and there future.
They're kneepads, appropriate for the woman in the OP and for pretty much all female Trump supporters.I don’t get it?
...yeah...it's the cis women having their lives threatened over trans issues...This brave woman is going to be harassed and threatened with her life but I don’t see her backing down the insane people who let this happen.

Correct, actual women who, because of right wing idiocy, must be defined as either cis or trans because one of us is constantly being invalidated and threatened by said right wing idiocy.No such thing as a cis woman just an actual woman.
Destroy whose lives? Because so far the only lives being destroyed, consistently, are trans women.No it’s a episode of a stupid lefty woman who doesn’t understand the real world and wants to destroy those lives but learns a lesson the hard way.

Real women don’t need to be defined they just are, the rest is pretend.

See original post.
The lives getting destroyed by people changing their bodies to feel a certain way is almost exclusively by their own making.
