This really isn’t a topic ‘tearing apart’ radical feminists at all, it’s just mudslinging. Cross-partisan alliances, with focus on 1-2 issues, isn’t the same as being ideologically identical. The Left’s moral certitude is quite dangerous and ‘guilty by association’ is a hell of an accusation when the Left has also…

Here is the thing for me, and I already know some of you will attack me for it, but I will say it anyway:

I grew up in a culture where mixed nude saunas were a thing. I also entered puberty extremely early. I was NINE years old the first time a man blocked me in a swimming pool corridor and felt me up. When I tried to…

If Dworkin were around today you’d be calling her a TERF and probably a truscum/transmedicalist. Womanhating is from 1974. In 1979 she helped Janice Raymond with chapter IV of The Transsexual Empire and praised the book in print. She also wrote:

Boy this website has gotten psychotic.

This is a terrible argument. Saying that integration based on race, which is a truly arbitrary distinction, “killed the negro leagues” is the same as ending women’s sports is a false equivalency. The physical, biological differences between men and women are simply non-existent between white and black men. If we are…

Bjj girl here! I compete in the 116lb and below division.... a 12 year old boy is physically stronger than us

At the elite level, women are not beating men. Look at the qualifying standards for men v. women in the Olympics for the longer distances. It’s not even close and yet!! women are closer to men in the longer distances.

If you remove male and female as categories you are killing women’s sport. Period. Do you think the fastest 5'5 women is going to compete with the fastest 5'5 man?

Laurel Hubberd was terrible pre-transition. Was not in any way competative with elite Cis male lifters.

That .6% becomes a lot more personally significant when you’re the one losing a college sports scholarship because you can’t win a single race against someone with an unfair advantage over you. I’m never going to win an arm-wrestling contest against the Rock, even if he decides tomorrow he’s a woman and wants to…

high school sports are not always low stakes. There are kids out there whose ability to go to, and pay for, a four year college is swayed by how they perform as high school athletes. 

You’d have to be real fucking stupid to not believe their birth sex to be a huge advantage in competitive sports. Like, really fucking stupid. Stupid enough to deny a huge statistically significant difference between their average physical abilities. Stupid enough to call that, oh, just another common advantage /…

I knew this article would go this way (ignoring logic for the sake of inclusivity). I’m pleasantly surprised by the logic shown in the comments. Shannon Melero... you should be ashamed, but I’m doubtful.

I guess it’s super simple then. At what % does a group no longer deserve consideration?

Sure -

If someone has gone through puberty as a biological male, then their lung size, bone density and muscle mass will be an advantage forever. Testosterone is certainly a big part of the picture, but it’s only one piece.

What makes this such an insane take on a site that claims to be about women’s issues. Instead of doing a legitimate examination of the situation, no matter what side it lands on, the article instead goes full-on ‘Women be whiners’ attitude about a very legitimate complaint.

I don’t think comparing a short basketball player to a tall one is the same as comparing sprinters.

How come you never hear about Boys complaining about trans athletes beating them. Maybe it is because they don’t since they are disadvantaged by being biologically female for their entire life until their gender change and thus don’t get the phical development of biological males.

Posts like this is why you are supposedly a feminist website.
