Powerhouse women
I’m so tired of the insults.
Don’t include men who say they are women in lists of women. Stop doing that. Just stop.
Here’s the incorrect aka dishonest Vogue headline:
He wasn’t “banned from competitive cycling,” and he wasn’t banned from women’s cycling “because he’s trans.” He was banned from women’s competitive cycling because he’s not a woman.
From British Cycling —
“Transgender women, transgender men, non-binary individuals and those whose sex was assigned male at birth will be eligible to compete in the ‘Open’ category. The ‘Female’ category will remain in place for those whose sex was assigned female at birth and transgender men who are yet to begin hormone therapy. At this stage, they will be eligible to compete in the ‘Open’ category only, and should ensure that they continue to adhere to the requirements of UK Anti-Doping. Those whose sex was assigned female at birth are also able to compete in the ‘Open’ category if they so wish.”
Assigned at birth? Even when they get the rules right, they still use the trans cult approved language. No one is assigned their sex, unless one believes God does this, which would make it even stupider.
Good point. I suppose they’re trying to be as clear as possible, and at least they didn’t say “cis men.”
Maybe due to “cis” being regarded as derogatory in some circles. I hope so, but yeah, jeez.
Both are derogatory, but “cis” is that little bit worse. It assumes trans dogma while “assigned as” attempts to justify it.
I agree with that. The doctor or nurse who observed their sex could be wrong after all, which opens the door for self I.D. The whole phenomenon is fantastic, and not in the good way.
