  • It’s also a strawman argument, because I’ve heard this debate 1000 times and the side against transwomen in sports never says they transitioned to win sports.

    Saying “Transwomen have an unfair advantage against cis women” is a very, very different thing than claiming they transitioned because they were trying to score higher in sports.

    People transition because their chosen gender fits them better than their assigned, and you can acknowledge that and still acknowledge that as a side effect they’ll have that unfair advantage. I don’t think anyone transitioned to get that advantage. Yet the onion, and many on Lemmy will repeat the strawman because they don’t know how to address what’s actually been said.
