I think the thread and topic are more about how others are affected. The original weightlifter (remember the original story?) had an unfair advantage in having gone through a male puberty, with all that muscle growth and testosterone and stuff.
So do transwomen have some advantage in a bathroom?
Fallacy of the false analogy.
Advantage in sports participation has nothing whatever to do with public bathroom use, rape crisis centres, womens shelters or women's prisons.
The argument here is about whether transgender self-identified men should be granted access to women's safe spaces, and is based in RIGHTS.
Is it fair to grant a tiny subgroup of men in womanface, the right to access women's safe spaces, if granting them abrogates the rights of over 50% of the population who have the rights to have those safe spaces for themselves.
Nothing demonstrates this more clearly than the opposition by TRAs to
Beira's Place, the
"biological females only" rape crisis centre in Edinburgh, Scotland that was started up by a bunch of gender critical women, partially funded by JK Rowling. Despite the fact that the Scottish goverment-funded Edinborough Rape Crisis Centre, which DOES allow TIMS to be clients, is already in the same city, TRAs opposed the existence of
Biera's Place. TRAs are selfish, arrogant and egotistical misogynists - they will oppose ANYTHING for women that excludes them. They want in because their aim is to stick it to actual women by waving their lady-dicks in women's faces.
What some would conclude this this thread is really about is certain people being disgusted by transwomen, and not wanting them to be afforded any dignity, no matter how trivial.
Rubbish, and you know it.
