Except politics of course. We all know everyone else is wrong.

    Heavily politicised issue though. Imo, the whole trans issue should’ve never been politicised.

      I mean you’re right, but even given that, the media still just gets it wrong, often deliberately so, because misinformation is the political goal of many folk involved in the “conversation”

        I swear these people will let the rich steal their food and housing while they look the other way and blame the nearest minority for their problems

        I’ve been on Internet too long that I still don’t know which side you stand on. And that’s exactly the issue.

        This is a very complicated problem. Not as straightforward as either side thinks.

          This is a very complicated problem

          No it isn’t. There is not a single sport in which trans people have been shown to consistently have advantage, let alone advantage significant enough to make meaningful competition impossible. Trans folk hold no world records, very few national records, and are far less likely to get involved in sports in the first place. On top of all of that, when trans folk do participate, on average, they under perform compared to their cis peers.

          There is nothing complicated about it, just a lot of deliberate misinformation
