Also, notice that they mostly get their knickers in a wad over trans women in women's sports.

I will ask them to go search for "trans men" and then ask them if they want them in the bathroom with their wives/daughters, or playing Women's sports in the NCAA.

(Of course, we test for testosterone levels so these "student athletes" are usually excluded. But if you truly want the XX and XY chromosomes to be the delineator, these trans men should be playing in women's sports)

First, I’m no doctor. My understanding is that many of the most difficult cases regarding sexuality in athletics has to do with people born with abnormal genetics. Extra chromosomes that blur the lines. How are those athletes to be treated? It’s a complicated issue…far too complicated for a smelly old demented gas bag occupying our White House with his equally demented minions.

There are also those who are not chromosomally different but have gender dysphoria, where their neurology and gender identity do not match their phenotype. I have personally known several of these people. Why would anyone choose this feeling of not being comfortable in their own bodies? It is a highly personal aspect of who they are and it is difficult enough without judgment and worse, hatred and discrimination from others who don't understand it and have zero empathy. As Tim Walz said, mind your own damn business.
