Re: NZ Transgender Weightlifter Cleared to Compete by the IOC
Cool, we've got arguing honestly going. The logical extension of your overly lazy example is that Transgender women should be banned from all sports. Which I think is immoral and is most likely illegal No not all sports - only sports in which having gone through puberty as a male provides a strength...

Re: NZ Transgender Weightlifter Cleared to Compete by the IOC
I looked it up on wikipedia - homophobia can cover trans bigotry. Which seems silly, homophobia and transphobia are two seperate things.

Re: NZ Transgender Weightlifter Cleared to Compete by the IOC
To make my point clearer:
using this logic:

using this logic:
then there is no issue with 15 trans women taking the field as a team in a womens rugby game.If a Trans Woman is legally considered a woman than she has the right to participate in activities and recreation as a woman.

ok. What about 14? 11? 7? 3? Where is the cut off?
