I’m just curious what y’all think about that aspect of your identity. What’s it based on? What are its limits?

    She is forced to play with a biological male. That’s enforcing views on someone else.

    It’s how the world runs.

      You’re right, this is such a big deal. Forget about her “biological female” teammate that can beat both of them, what’s important is imposing the gender binary as you understand it on children. And if we have to look down every single kid’s pants to ensure little susie isn’t unfairly beaten by the “biological male” it’s worth it, right?

      And let’s spend our limited energy on this topic that involves literally like 6 kids in the U.S. rather than silly topics like climate change, wall street crime, loss of rights of bodily autonomy, etc.

        Woosh. You went on some rant that wasn’t relevant to the point.

        The point is things are always imposed on people. To act otherwise is just ignoring how the world works.

          I’d already responded to that point – nobody is forced to play school sports.

          I think our usage of “imposing one’s will” is different - like if you go to a birthday party, the host is not “imposing their will” on you to eat chocolate cake, but by your usage they are.

          But I’m out, feel free to destroy me, I don’t want to waste time arguing with someone who thinks gatekeeping who gets to wear a dress is important.

            Oddly I never stated my opinion one way or the other on the trans issue. I just used it as an example of having someone else’s will imposed on someone.

            No by my usage, you can decide not to eat the chocolate cake. Cake isn’t a view.
