this stuff keeps sounding more like 1984

does the author have any idea how ridiculous they sound?

The emperor isn't just naked, he's dancing around helicoptering his dick.

This comment needs some sort of prize.

Becles that makes it even worse! Life isn't fair, so do what you're bloody told or we'll deck you is what it amounts to.

It's time, ladies, that we set up crone island.

The emperor isn't just naked, they're dancing around helicoptering their girldick

FTFY

I'm not an advocate for a trans sports category

Yeah. Me neither. If someone believes “transitioning” is necessary to their mental health, then they need to accept that some kinds of competitive sports will not be open to them.

We all make decisions which have life-changing consequences; choosing not to go to university precludes being able to undertake some careers; having children precludes living an unfettered life - and “transitioning” should preclude competing in the teams which match gender-belief.

I came across this chart from a 2012 Olympic weightlifting championship. I think the comparison tells it’s own story.
