      That actually isn’t what they are talking about. What they are talking about is whether transwomen(genetic men) should be allowed in genetic women’s sports. I’ve yet to see anyone saying that genetic men should not be allowed to play in genetic men’s sports. There is no exclusion from sports happening to any minorities here.

      In case you are genuinely interested in this topic and not just mindlessly latching onto a cookie-cutter point of view, here is a different way to think about this issue that I have seen make some headway with people in your situation before:

      If LeBron James came out as identifying as a 10 year old boy, would you want him playing against your son? Why or why not? If you answer this question honestly, it just may be enlightening. I won’t respond any further unless I see genuine effort on your part.

          Give a reasonable alternative if you don’t like it. Unless, that is, your strategy depends on trying to pressure people into not expressing ideas in a clear way.

              Well, I assumed you didn’t have anything just judging by the fact that you never seem to contribute anything of use.

              “Down with cis” - this is you. Please try to find anything in any comment I have made that is hateful and directly quote it. I love cis and trans people and have said nothing to the contrary. The same can not be said about you, unfortunately.

                Down with cis!!!

                lmao bro that is a Tumblr meme phrase. Look it up to get the full connotation. It is hilarious to me that cis people are actually seeing this as hate speech. It’s like white people complaining about reverse racism.

                  Well, I think most people don’t really care that much, but imagine how you might feel if there was a similar meme phrase that people were hiding behind that were to switch out cis for trans in your meme phrase. Just some food for thought.
