1 - Fallon Fox is an extreme example that we probably agree about. Other sports are much different, to the point that comparing them would be dishonest. Please explain how a trans woman playing softball (for example) is some dire crisis that will destroy womens’ sports.

2 - Karsten Braasch, a cis-male who isn’t on hormones is comparable to a trans woman who has been on HRT for years? That’s just plain ridiculous. You do realize that trans women lose a lot of their muscle mass, and by extension, strength when they transition, right? Their strength is closer to, if not at levels of cis-women.

3 - Where is this supposed epidemic of trans women dominating sports? I always see the same few examples passed around as if they’re the norm. Also, of course MEN have bigger muscles - they’re still full of testosterone. Yes, trans women do have permanent effects from testosterone, but acting as if they retain even a fraction of their strength and speed is totally wrong.

4 - Do you have any evidence for these claims, because they seem like they would be impossible to study. What % of kids who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria grow up to be gay? Also, how is this relevant when we're talking about gender identity?

“The problem is restrictive gender roles” - that’s also false. Gender dysphoria is a real thing that has nothing to do with gender roles. Also, I see this said by TERFs despite them having no evidence of it at all. Suddenly they’re experts on gender dysphoria? Even if we completely abolished gender, transgender people would still have dysphoria - a disconnect with their physical bodies.

5 - This is off in conspiracy land, and is really silly. Can we rule out George Soros being involved as well? Maybe the Clintons? /s

6 - We already do (though not always safe), yes they do, yes they do, and no they don’t. Also, please call them what they are: TERFs. Whatever supposed good you think they might be doing in society, I can guarantee you are completely mistaken. There is nothing “feminist” about waging hate campaigns against trans women and trying to deny them medical treatment. Honestly, I think it’s disgusting and a disgrace to feminism.
