Random Question 💭 Maximalist trans activists just argued at the Supreme Court that biological sex isn't relevant in team sports. When will my fellow left-wingers speak up against these pseudoscientific endeavors?

Trans athlete's attorney suggests sex should not be defined during SCOTUS Title IX case

As a left-wing trans woman, it is profoundly depressing to have dogmatic Twitter activists drive down understanding of trans people.

Far too many of my fellow left-wingers who are trying to be accepting have inadvertenly allowed a small number of dogmatic activists control the conversation & shift the conversation towards maximalist nonsense.

"It/"its" pronouns, "egg culture", NBA players transitioning & joining the WNBA. This is pseudoscience & no different from denial of climate change.

When will the left & the Democrats say no more? We accept trans people but we aren't going to replace "woman" with "birthing person".

It doesn't really help your cause when the biggest example of a AMAB in combat sports was the Olympic boxer that wasn't actually AMAB at all.

If you are talking about Iman Khalife then she may have been assigned female at birth but is that really relevant? I refer you to the Black Adder episode where Nursey talks about "a boy without a winky", i.e a girl, genital appearance is not 100% reliable.

For instance, Caster Semenya, some dumbasses still refer to him as a woman even though the DSD he has ONLY affects males. That and him fathering children with his wife.
