Let me offer a couple of factually incontrovertible statements, and then assert what seems to me an ineluctable conclusion based on those statements.
Only people born female are able to become pregnant and have babies.
Only people born male are able to impregnate females.
Given these simple truths, it follows that “women” who were born male are really not women in the same sense as women who were born female. They are, at best, women with an asterisk.
(Of course, I would argue that they’re simply transvestite men, albeit, in many cases, highly motivated overachievers in that regard.)

It’s sad to see this transgender nonsense invading the sporting world. Actual females are being deprived of recognition for their accomplishments.

Richard, I agree. And it’s good to see women pushing back against it.

If I identify as a dragon (or anything), and have horns implanted, my tongue split, and live in a cave – I would still not be a dragon…with an asterisk (not even an over achiever in that regard). This is mental illness encouraged by a sick society.
