Okay so now we're saying we need to keep Trans people out of women's sports but creating programming education for girls is discrimination in an industry dominated by men. Got it.

Its almost like, you did the exact opposite of I told you to do, go read the law, or go ask chatgpt about Title 9 sports programs, it literally mandates "separate but equal" sports programs based on sex.

Nobody cares about your histrionics.

You slipped in "based on sex" for an intentional reason that I'd like you to share with the class. Say, is your opinion of the "sex is an immutable characteristic and fixed at birth and therefore trans people are invalid and should..."? Or maybe I'm just reading into your wording a little too much.

You're talking to a trans woman by the way. Just thought I should throw that out there just in case you want to hurl some insults at me while you're at it too :)

In humans and other mammals the immutability of sex is a fact, not an opinion. We are not a species of sequential hermaphrodites.

The cultural artefact of people identifying themselvee as the opposite gender is a different type of concept to this. It's more of a sociological or psychological phenomenon.

You seem to care a lot about it actually.

The ask for the former is to have competitive spaces that are designated specifically for female athletes. This of course implies that all male athletes must be excluded, regardless of their identity claims.

The rationale is the same for both: to provide opportunities for women and girls in an otherwise male-dominated space. Neither should be controversial.
