I know my post got deleted last night, but I wanted to give a brief update. Beardy woke bro is still silent, but a female friend of his agreed with me (and also made other points on T-levels, anatomical structure).

Another female friend then told me it was all tiresome terf talking points and I was being unkind (and that I didn't think intersex people exist) plus I needed to use trans women not transwomen blah blah.

Anyway, posted again to point out

  1. Everything I posted was factually correct and wasn't it interesting that she dismissed it as terf bullshit without actually being able to counter the facts.
  2. Intersex women in women's sport is a totally separate debate. It's one I think is important to have, but has to relevance to the topice we were discussing.
  3. Don't call me a terf - and linked to terfisaslur.com

Feeling a lot more confident today - onward and upward!

@DistantVworp

Now we're onto TWAW and I'm a horrible bigot. So I asked her what makes a transwoman a woman....

See this is the bit that always perplexes me. Why not respond with: "I think you are wrong and these are the reasons why..." instead of hurling insults.

Or maybe not:
"The IOC's policy follows the second line of thought and requires that males have low levels of testosterone in order to compete against females. To my knowledge, none of the boys on this site had testosterone within the levels required by the IOC. If they did, they would almost certainly have not performed as well. Because of this, the statistics are not an apples to apples comparison to what competition between males with low testosterone and females would look like. "

She is embarrassing herself not coming back with counter points but name calling. She needs to grow up.

I'm glad you reposted OP. You're doing brilliantly. They expect people to go away at this point as they have no counter argument apart from calling names.

I'm glad. Flowers

I think seeing the ways in which that term is used can be very illuminating.
