RK says that there is no such thing as women's brain's and men's (I quite agree).

RK also says that there is no effect of testosterone on performance and there is no need to reduce levels or have surgery. So I assume they think that Male genitals have no effect.

So what does RK think constitutes a woman? Some one who wears a dress and make up? I'm really confused now. Why, exactly, does this person think they are a women?

The College of Charleston has got itself into a bind here, I think. If they grant tenure, McKinnon is going to take this as licence to really go off the deep end (not that they're far from it, now) but if they deny tenure (and keep in mind that tenure is difficult to get; I know people who have been turned down) then they will have a legal battle on their hands.

McKinnon has already tweeted about being told by the university not to tweet out emails containing people's personal details, even if they the emails were harassment (haven't read the emails so don't know how harassing they are) and in doing so, retweeted the person's personal details again and also tagged the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union).

I think a legal battle is almost guaranteed if the university deny McKinnon tenure.

Maybe RM's beliefs are all explained in her PhD thesis? (But since most PhD theses are boring as shit including my own I think I'll pass on reading that) Personally I think RM's views are a mix of good old misogyny, narcissism and the realisation that whilst they may be a completely mediocre male cyclist, as a female one they can actually win races.

‘Called Sharon out as looking like a man’

Seriously?

rmk really is a cycle path- but why are they getting such a platform?

Because inclusivity. And misogyny. And the Woke Bandwagon. And fear of being labelled a transphobe and / or bigot. And a combination of all of them.

Katterinaballerina - it’s in the eyes apparently.

Nothing to do with the fact we have all seen Sharron in a swimsuit (please no one ask for other people to post swimsuit shots) and she has given birth to 3 babies (I believe).
