Thank you for not personally trying to force your way into women's sports, but other men are:

Calling it "discrimination" isn't a direct call for legal action, but it is suggestive of it, and trying to use the courts to force one's way into places you don't belong and aren't wanted is immoral.

Saying "Trans woman are men" isn't an attack. It's a factual, neutral statement. Come up with new terms, and stop trying to create newspeak. Use "femme" and "masc", they've got popularity already and don't try to redefine language to allow men to invade women's spaces.

I'm not going to try and convince you of anything, but your response is a good summary of the problem. You started off by saying "trans people aren’t hurting you so just let people be", and now you're saying that men should be able to force their way into women's sports even if the women don't want them there.

Women deserve single-sex spaces.

Here's the great thing about science: Is he wrong? If you can't cite or explain how he's wrong, hurling insults doesn't do shit.

He very much represents the scientific consensus, as explained by the link I just gave you that you clearly didn't read.

If women want gendered sports, you'll agree that men shouldn't be allowed into women's sports, even if they're trans women?

Biological sex is defined by the size of the gametes one does or would produce, and has always been defined that way scientifically. It is immutable and binary.

What size gametes do they produce? Intersex people are not a monolith, nor do they have anything to do with transgenderism.

Read the article. The author has a PhD in evolutionary biology and knows more than you.

The “sex binary” does not entail that every human is unambiguously either male or female, even though the vast majority are.

He wrote another article where he cites that you are 100% wrong and this definition has been used since the 19th century: https://www.realityslaststand.com/p/citations-for-the-gamete-based-definition

Will men stay out of women's sports?

None of that is how sex is defined, and that's the entire point of this article. Sex is defined by the size of gametes you produce, and that is binary and immutable.

Other compositions than the typical XX and XY arrangement do not represent additional sexes beyond male and female, but instead represent chromosomal variation within each of the two sexes.

Literally the quote I pasted above. Variations within a sex.

So men will stay out of women's spaces then, right?
