Yeah, I have. Have you added anything of value or are you just complaining about words you don’t like? Because I’m not sure what I’m supposed to owe you or why I should entertain you. I haven’t called anyone a name or given them a label, I’ve described transphobic views and positions as transphobic. As a fan of nuance, I would’ve thought you’d appreciate the difference there, but apparently the nuance thing is just for show, right? I’m sure it’ll fool someone.
My position is incredibly simple, and it’s that policies and decisions regarding trans girls in sport should be fact-based from both a medical standpoint and the spirit of the sports themselves, not based on imagined risks and anecdotes about viewship or one girl having to move down to the B team. And further, that relying on made up risks and anecdotes that describe the danger trans girls pose to the wellness of cis girls (instead of facts and quantifiable data) is transphobic, whether you want to bitch about that word or not.
