There are a number of trans debates on Kialo which are rather skewed because most people seem to buy into the trans rhetoric.
Kialo is a debate platform that supposedly makes debate unbiased and without the usual internet argumentative style and for the most part it does this quite well, however the admins of some of the debates are very biased. For instance I'm currently trying to convince an admin of debate "should trans women be allowed in women only spaces" to accept my antithesis to this:
"....Allowing cis women into female only spaces is no more likely to lead to allowing men than it is to allowing all people dressed as dinosaurs in."
I suggested:
"Predatory males could simply declare that they are a trans woman and enter into womens' refuges. Potentially the very refuge where their scared victim is seeking refuge from them. This is a common scenario."
In response I was told by admin (and hence my thesis was not accepted into the debate):
"This has no support. I admined the debate about sex segregated bathrooms, and many people made this claim... none with convincing evidence. So please find something that's not a single case or a media moral panic campaign to support this, thanks"
I'm being similarly shot down and effectively no platformed all over the debate. Please help!
This debate is here:

The thesis I'm using as a specific example is here:

Thank you!
