The mere fact that trans sports stars are being critiized and ostracized tells us that something is wrong. It hurts to be prejudiced against, no matter what the situation is. However; in my opinion it's much too early in the trans movement to assume that a man who has become a woman can now compete against other women in sporting event with no advantages. A new category is needed more than a ban on the trans people wanting to compete in sports. What's wrong with having a marathon with trans women or trans men and running it just like a marathon between women and men who are biologically women from birth? May I go on to say something else. We see gay couples and one partner referring to his partner as his 'husband', for example. Here is my proposition or proto-type of how we could give unique names for the unions between same-sex couples. (Prototype terminology for the Lesbian and Gay community.) Lesbian relationships. Lesbiate = marry, a lesbian who wants to marry another lesbian, Lesbiated = a lesbian woman who has joined in civil union with another woman, Lesbiage = a marriage between two women, Lefem = wife in feminine sense of lesbian (Perhaps some lesbian relationships would prefer to have a sense of <wife> for the opposite partner). Lehom = husband in masculine sense of lesbian (Perhaps some lesbian relationships would prefer to have a sense of <husband> for the opposite partner). Gay relationships, Gayriate = marry, a gay man who wants to marry another gay man, Gayriated = a gay man who is (married) joined in civil union with another gay man. Gayriage = a marriage between two gay men. Gafem = the wife sense of a gay man’s partner (Perhaps some gay relationships would prefer to have a sense of <wife> for the opposite partner) Gahom = the husband sense of a gay man’s partner (Perhaps some gay relationships would prefer to have a sense of <husband> for the opposite partner). Please forgive me if I have offended anyone, but I have invented these proto-type names as a way to have children see things in their way of seeing: black and white. They need things to be very clear. Their minds are in development. The whole idea is to save our young children from not having to be confused about heterosexual and homosexual relationships and civil unions. A gay man would be gayriated to his GaHom or GaFem. A lesbian would belesbiated to her LeFem or LeHom. Children would have different words to say that a man and man or a woman and a woman are legally united under the law i.e. a woman and a woman would blesbiated, or a man and a man would be gayriated and a man and a woman would be married. The English language is rich, new words can be thought up to describe what the trans community is going through and what the same-sex couples are experiencing...
