  1.  @ekvilist  So you have factored in the two years of hormones they are required to be on to participate in the sport? Is there any study that proved this gives them a meaningful advantage, or is this just based on the idea that males are generally physically stronger than females therefore it's logical that trans women have a physical advantage? Because I really don't think reality shows that to be true.

  2. ​ @barryledgister4496 trans people are not deceiving anyone. Trans women live authentically as women. They have done for centuries

  3. Links get removed automatically, no need to read into it, that's just YouTube comment policy. The cass report has been completely debunked and was never taken seriously by any experts in the field in the first place.

  4. As in aware of injustice? Yes, that's a good thing.

  5.  @littlecatfeet9064  it was written by people with direct links to anti trans groups. Have you even read it?

  6.  @GlasPthalocyanine   You have a source for any of these claims, like cis women being demotivated to participate in sports ECT?

  7.  @ambientjohnny  Okay, so let's say I agree with you completely. What's the solution? In an ideal world where you are in charge, how does the future of society look in regards to trans people? What is your end goal?

  8.  @ekvilist  I believe that's how it works for the Olympics and other sports organisations have similar criteria. So just to be clear, your opinion that trans women have a physical advantage is based on "common sense" rather than actual data?

  9.  @freedomishealthy1086  what do you mean?

  10. Gender is a spectrum. How many colours are there?

  11. If a treatment works for 99% of people who do it, then you can absolutely assert that care is correct. This is one of those cases.

  12.  @ribbrascal  why do you hate t people? What specific reason?

  13.  @robertmarshall2502  See, you don't know what you are talking about. It's unethical and literally malpractice to do a double blind study on hormone treatment and children. Throwing out a study because it wasn't done with malpractice is ridiculous, and the only studies that were kept that also weren't double blind are the ones that gave the results they wanted. The Cass review does not disprove what I'm saying, the review has been torn to shreds by scientists and academics, but you refuse to read any of the critiques. It used discredited studies and misused other studies to support conclusion ms the data doesn't actually support. This is objectively true, as is the direct links the writers gave to anti trans groups, organisations that support conversion therapy and the review itself has obvious anti trans bias. Which you obviously think is a good thing, because so do you.

  14.  @ekvilist  explain how there is a physical disadvantage between trans women and cis women. What is your reasoning? How is it obvious?
    6
  15.  @ekvilist  if your opinion is based on data then show me the data.
    6
  16.  @GlasPthalocyanine  So you see trans women as men and believe that the majority of cis women do as well?
    6
  17.  @GlasPthalocyanine  How do you know trans athletes are always going to be disproportionately outliers?
    6
  18.  @ceceo9480  what injustice are trans people advocating for inflicting on cis women? Cisgender is the scientific term for anyone whose gender identity is congruent with the sex they were assigned at birth. It means the opposite of transgender. Everyone is either cisgender or transgender, that's just how we categorize and describe people's gender at this point in history. You are not a subcategory of woman, cisgender and transgender women are both valid and equally women.

  19.  @ribbrascal  what are they demanding that you take issue with?
    6
  20.  @trevorcook3129  what false terminology?
    6
  21.  @trevorcook3129  My point being is that if you went to a rally we know what side of the fence you would be on and it wouldn't be with the T people. I just hope you're comfortable with the company you keep, you might have more in common ideologically with far right extremists than you realize. They would love what you've written here.

  22. Conversion therapy is torture that is completely discredited and banned in many countries. Detransitioners represent less than 1% of people who medically transition. How do you want them to address that? If something works for 99% of people who do it then you can assert that it is correct for the vast majority of people. This is the case with gender affirming care.

  23.  @av_oid  gender critical is just a euphemism for anti trans bigotry

  24. ​ @barryledgister4496 This person is a trans woman, not a man. But men, such as myself, can and are feminists. You should be as well, and you should stop being anti trans.

  26. Furthers what agenda? How do women and children suffer from this agenda? Any factual basis for your explicitly bigoted opinions?

  27.  @brendadarling7743  I just gave you a definition, it clearly DOES NOT actually mean sex. Laws aren't being based on how people feel but on what they are. What logical, rational or moral reason is there to discriminate against trans people?

  28.  @randomtortila7356  ♥️💯

  29.  @GlasPthalocyanine  Do you think some cis women have an advantage over other cis women in a sport like swimming? Does Michael Phelps have any physical advantage over the other cis men he competes against?

  30.  @nickthepostpunk5766  I had the same concern about your ideological biases and how that affects the way you see the Cass review, which had been widely criticized for how the ideological biases of the people who wrote it affected how they handled the evidence and supported their recommendations. My concerns with the ideological biases of Cass and the other authors are not myths, they are undisputed facts. You did largely ignore all of the points I made about their ideological biases, I assume because you share their ideological biases. And you ignored most of my claims to focus on the only two you felt you could confidently say are false, and you may be right about those two claims, I would need to see the evidence before I could concede tho, because I couldn't just take your word for it and your repeating and insisting was not persuasive. I was definitely less inclined to trust you based on how you ignored most of what I said and refused to acknowledge the majority of my claims.

  31.  @GlasPthalocyanine   @CC-hx5fz  I don't want to change the function of female spaces, trans woman are fuctionally females when in these spaces and need the spaces for the exact same reason cis women do. Are you going to tell me how you know that trans athletes will always be outliers? You changed the conversation topic for some reason.

  32. ​ @chrisbfreelance They are not groomed. Trans kids know they are different before they even learn what being trans is.

  33.  @trevorcook3129  who are you to say what someone elses correct pronouns are tho? How does calling someone a she instead of a he meaningfully affect yours or anyone's life? Are theremore important problems to care about? No one is asking you to be friends with it hang out with people whose identity you don't respect or understand, but can't you just leave them alone?

  34. Have you read any of the critiques that completely discredit and debunk the Cass review?

  35. Great argument

  36.  @brendadarling7743  neither of those things are true

  37.  @ambientjohnny  replying on your other thread because this one keeps deleting my comments.

  38.  @GlasPthalocyanine  wow, getting a little hostile bro. Maybe I've lost the thread, I thought that we were talking about trans athletes specifically and you made a claim, then I wanted to know how you knew that information, and you didn't answer that question as far as I can tell. I apologize if I didn't see your response to that question. I of course agree that anyone who uses women's spaces is going to be part of that discussion, but that obviously includes trans women as well. I disagree that activists for human rights aren't trusted or respected. I have done a communications course actually but thank you for the suggestion nonetheless.

  39.  @GlasPthalocyanine  I thought communication went both ways? I asked a question two comments ago and still haven't received a response. I'm confused, is good communication when you ignore what I say and just move on and then I agree with you and thank you for educating me? I'm happy to answer all your questions, I would just appreciate the courtesy of answering me first since you still haven't and I asked nearly 2days ago, just scroll up a bit and read it. Good faith goes both ways

  40.  @nickthepostpunk5766  So again, I'm sorry for not believing you about the 98% claim being false. Cass has clarified that herself saying: 'Dr Cass later said claims 98% were excluded was “completely incorrect” but that they were instead only considered of “moderate” quality leading to 60% being used to form part of the “synthesis” — BBC' Now can we talk about the other claims I made which you have ignored like the anti trans bias of the people writing the report and the harmful recommendations supported by bad science? Also why do you say "biological women" and not just use the correct scientific terminology which is cisgender? You obviously know what cisgender means and seem to care about accuracy, so I'm confused as to why you don't use it.

  41.  @rachelbayston5007    I notice there is some interesting ideological consistency between the "reliable and well evidenced" sources Nick listed for reading about trans issues. Do you think it's revealing of his political positioning and the way he handles evidence that doesn't support his political position? His conspicuously one sided list of sources certainly reveals a lack of neutrality on his part, in my opinion.

  42.  @PollyMcMan  The Cass review recommendations will not improve care and service trans people get, it doesn't recommend almost any of the things trans people are asking for. The conservative government has already made the service and care worse for trans people and is planning to restrict the care even more and make things even worse. None of that is a good thing for anyone, except anti trans activists. So it seems like you don't really know what you are talking about.

  43.  @richardh8082  If you think that stat is wrong then cite a correct one. Otherwise be quiet and stop pretending to care

  45.  @GlasPthalocyanine  it's very well documented that gender critical doesn't encourage certain questions, pretty disingenuous to claim it's an open minded movement that values critical thinking

  46. The rest of us can help by disrespecting their gender and talking down to them like we know better. This is just hate disguised as kindness

  47. Honey, the trans community exists whether you like it or not, your assertions are unfounded and based on ignorance and misinformation. If you would like to understand the community better you should learn from people in the community.

  48. ​​ @barryledgister4496 there has been a trans community since at least the 60's, it's origins have nothing to do with blue haired students. You don't know what you are talking about Barry. It's extremely weird that you think the community doesn't have anything tangible they want changed. That is objectively untrue.

  49. Trans women aren't pretending and they are not a danger to anyone else in female only safe spaces. Men don't need to pretend to be women in order to get access to female only spaces in order to hurt women if that is their goal. Bathrooms don't have bouncers, terms are the only ones suggesting that they should.
