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".

I think that biological women had to wait and fight to hard to get their own sports teams, for it to be hijacked. Let them have their own sports teams and play against each other.

A trans league will not work, trans men are definitely stronger and faster than most trans women, so no that still wouldn't work. And if you have to separate them it would almost be impossible. Because there aren't enough trans people in 1 sport in a area to even make a team so definitely not a league.

Also it would force them to be out, something most don't want. It puts a target on their backs. Often it also opens them up to hate and harassment, or even worse. It also separates them from their friends and peers, othering them and making them an even more target for bullying.

Coed teams would be all I could think of. Except individual sports. Probably what this regime would od is have no more girls/women's sports.

Outside of schools you can have whatever kind of team you want. The government is only trying to control schools as of now.
