  • You’re spewing lies

    Pot, meet kettle.

    Khelif admitted to being male

    Again, never actually happened. Only under your definition of male that no one else uses because it is completely useless as a classification.

    Giving birth is one way of knowing.

    You’ve said there are many ways to know, but somehow can only keep giving the same one. As I’ve said repeatedly: someone who has not given birth cannot know. I guess we should limit women’s sports to people who have been impregnated. That is the only logical conclusion I can come to from your arguments. Why else would you keep bringing up giving birth as “one way” (the only way) to know?

    Please stop acting mentally disabled.

    And some abelism for good measure. I’m expect to believe you are rational, level headed, and empathetic when this is how you respond to someone who disagrees with you?



  • This is all a digression from the fact that Khelif is self-admittedly male.

    Not what Khelif has said in the slightest. You’re trying to distract from your argument defining her as such.

    Khelif made a statement.

    You responded to that with the erroneous statement “that makes Khelif male”.

    I’ve been responding directly to your statemen, and you’re saying that’s a digression despite it being your entire argument, because you can’t actually defend it. You’re stating it as a fact, and when questioned claim that it doesn’t matter while continuing to assert it as fact.

    So far we have determined that according to you the only way for someone to know what sex they are is if they have a child or get genetically tested. What bathroom should I use? Don’t know because I haven’t had a child. My niece wants to join an after school sports team, guess we better have them genetically tested first so we know what team they are allowed to be on, because unless she gets pregnant there is no other way to tell.

    American exceptionalism. They are the best country ever! Therefore, the way they are doing things is the best way it could possibly done, nothing could possibly be done differently, and anyone saying anything to the contrary must be foreign agents trying to undermine the best country ever!


  • You are moving the argument. I am talking specifically of her complaints about the term “people who menstruate”. That is not a “situation in which sex and gender rights are in tension with each other”, is has nothing to do with women having sex-specific places, nor someone who is biologically male wanting access to one of those spaces. It has nothing to do with protecting women.

    This is all as relevant as saying “She’s not transphobic, she is against stealing.” That’s all well and good, but completely irrelevant to this specific instance of transphobic bigotry that I am talking about.

    Some women don’t menstruate

    Correct

    but a sex-based definition doesn’t exclude them from being “real women”

    Agreed

    They’re just women who don’t menstruate.

    Therefore, if you were using the phrase “people who menstruate” the “correct” term for that would in fact not be “women” because there are women who do not menstruate.

    I will agree with you on one point however:

    You don’t have to agree with her worldview, but it’s overall coherent.

    Correct, it is the worldview of a bigot.
