    No. I have repeatedly stated that "maleness" and "femaleness" rest on male and female sexes. There is no such thing as changing genders. All the Bughis have done is allow for butch girls and effeminate men to call themselves something other than the men and women they really are.

    I said I objected to your transphobia and anti-science positions, so no I would not agree with your statement here.

    I said on the narrow issue of women's sporting competitions it appears to be unfair at this point in time to allow trans-people to compete in the women's sporting categories.

    As I said, gender cannot be separated from the concepts of male and female.
    Are you really trying to argue that a culture that explicitly has transgender genders is support for your anti-transgender views?

    And, again --- ANYBODY who thinks it's fair for a biological male to compete with biological females is "screwed up on the head".

    So, YOU don't think it's fair for him to compete against women, right? Does that make YOU "transphobic"?

    Who, in their right mind, would think it's acceptable for a biological male to compete against in a sport limited to women?

    I stand my my statement --- any biological male who thinks it makes sense to compete against women in a sporting event for women is 'screwed up in the head'.

    Here's a good example of your apparent dislike for the fact that words can and do change meaning. For example, 'phobia' shows as its second meaning "A strong fear, dislike, or aversion". Consequently talking of people's transphobia and homophobia is perfectly accurate.

    Great. I nowhere said or implied that that is transphobic (although others might; that is up to them).

    Agreed.

    The "transphobic nonsense" is things like "biological male is so screwed up in the head that he thinks it's fair to compete against them".

    Nothing 'nutty' about it. They disagree with you. That doesn't make them nutty.

    In seriousness even men taking hormone suppression treatments are still allowed to have levels of testosterone at something like five times higher than that found in actual biological women. And IIRC, at levels that would have disqualified a biological woman from competing.

    Nop. Are all phobias listed there?
