Most bullying is directed towards trans people, and all trans people are activists just by their existence, there is rarely any trans person on this planet with some amount of self respect and self worth that does not share the same views as those who openly are targetted as activists, because it deals with self evident experiential truth, what people like Kathleen does is to adhree to a religious ideology over someone's experience, she values oppression, division, shame and fear over transcendence and elevation of the spirit by healing our shame and fear connected to each other's sexed bodies. This also relates to trans women in sports as there's been a sceitnfic report released a few months ago confirming that trans women after several years on HRT no longer have any biological advantage since their muscle mass, tendons and ligaments fall within the female range due to the hormonal development, of course, it is the same as if we rejected all the taller and stronger women and left only smaller and weaker ones in, the latter would surely benefit, but that is not what sport is about, this si purely based on prejudice and ideology that has nothing to do with reality, biology and the truth.

lol, sex is never binary, nothing in mother nature is binary, people like you play being gods by trying to put nature into two boxes, nature defies categorizations. There are officially 6 biological sexes based on the consesus of the scientific community which was released to the public. Most ancient societies never had had two sexed, but multiple as well. Gender identity also is not socially constructed, it is biologicaly developed during the 2nd trimester, we have evidences for that, it is deeply connected to sexual instincts, and it is the same thing as sexual orientation diferently expressed, it is a sexual instinct expressed towards one's own body instead of the outside bodies as in the case of sexual orientation. This is how one can recognize how self aligned we are in our sexual dimorphism. In other words, sex is never binary, scientific community has known this for decades, but we are sexually dimorphic, and it can manifest in all kinds of creative ways, because mother nature is a creative force that knows no limit and it defies categorizations. This is how human species needs to be understood, not as man and woman, but as sexual contrasts, and through this trajectory come back to our sexual instincts like animals do, since they do not need social gendering categorization, they have sexual instinct, the same instinct that makes a heterosexual dude sexually attrracted to a trans woman.

@jayk5549 The women in her league have the right to expect fair competition among equals. Asserting the rights of one TG competitor over the rights all the other women competitors is unbalanced, unreasonable and simply not fair - it diminishes their rights to fair sport. There are many cases like that. This is the “nuance” part that they refuse to accommodate.
You talk about nuance while refusing to see the nuance yourself, do you realize that there's been released a scientific report recently that is confirming that after several years trans women are within the female range and no longer have any biological advantage? The nuance is that some women have more biological advantage over other women as well, that si how sport works, if we took out all the taller and stronger women and kept only smaller and weaker ones, those weaker ones would benefit as well. I can NOT believe what I am reading here, I just can't, most people are absolutely insane or clueless around this topic, dont you see this is nothing but prejudice? If you did not know those are trans women, you would not care, through hormonal transition the biology of trans women is changed drastically, and advantage is not just biological, it has to do with training, diet, etc. Women only benefit from having trans women in there because it diversifies their gender group enough to pose as a beneficial challenge.
