It's weird that you bring this up in a comment thread about someone literally advocating for lying about their gender for the sake of some perceived competitive advantage.

Do you believe this to be ethical? Because to me I find it rather offensive considering it harms actual transgender candidates.

You're right. It's weird to bring up. It's offensive, It's harmful. It's definitely unethical. None of those things stop it from being true.

I wouldn’t judge someone for changing their gender for economic purposes. It’s a personal decision and a slippery slope to decide when it’s ok and when it’s not ok.
