    If that's the case then you've been exhibiting a whole bushel full of phobias. At the top of the list, Allodoxaphobia

    It is EXACTLY what you responded to with your moronic "transphobia" comment....

    That'll come back to bite you, I'm sure.

    You can keep your transphobia, your made-up positions for people, your strawmen and your childish insults. Welcome to ignore for a while.
    Look who's talking --- that's' all you've been doing is throwing insults and nutty accusations, because, apparently, you can't support your idiotic defense -- you REALLY topped it with that goofy explanation that it's basically OK to cheat women out of legitimate victories because, well.... "trans".

    Again, what person, in their right mind, would enter a women's competition, knowing they have a grossly unfair advantage, and cheat women out of the hard work and dedication they put in to legitimately compete for the prize?

    What person, in their right mind, could honestly have any real sense of satisfaction from such unsportsmanlike conduct?

    When you're done with your little temper tantrum, perhaps you could try answering those legitimate questions.

    Yup.... pull a "phobia" card, and accuse of hate.... while trying to explain "it is more important to be inclusive to transwomen and treat them as women in every way than it is to prevent them from dominating women's sports".

    If that isn't psycho nuttery, what is?

    Why would ANY person, trans or not, want to "dominate women's sports" with an unfair physical advantage? Do they lose their MINDS when they "trans"?

    Why would they claim that? It has nothing to do with it.

    It's just my opinion. Others may differ.

    So, here's yet another area where the loony left has weaponized language to try to avoid actual discussion.

    "Phobia" has always meant an irrational fear of something. By coming up with words like "homophobia", and now this nutty "transphobia" -- it's simply an attempt to make 'the other guy' sound unreasonable and fearful, and to shut him up.

    I have ZERO fear of a man competing as a woman in an event designed for women because men have an absolute unfair advantage.
    And there's absolutely nothing "phobic" about stating that.

    In fact, what's actually NUTTY is that there are people who defend the right of a biological mail to compete in sports events where biological females are at an automatic disadvantage.
    This is yet another tactic straight out of the leftist playbook. Accuse someone of hate so that you can dismiss what they say without having to deal with the argument.

    What a steaming load of horsie poo --- cheat WOMEN out of a victory in a sport for WOMEN so that a man doesn't get his feelings hurt.

    No, I don't. No, it doesn't - IMO. Others' may differ.

    A great many people, with whom I disagree.

    And you are wrong. Disagreeing with you does not make someone 'screwed up in the head'. And I'll give you their reasoning - it is more important to be inclusive to transwomen and treat them as women in every way than it is to prevent them from dominating women's sports. That is an opinion with which I (and you) disagree, but to claim that anybody who agrees with it is 'screwed up in the head' is ridiculous.
