Why can’t they? Because it isn’t “affirming” and doesn’t feed their fetish, and because they know they won’t automatically be the winners.

when men like you get prostate cancer, they find out that their feminist buddies made sure that breast cancer gets three times more taxpayer funds than prostate cancer gets.

Harold, exactly. It’s not about “fairness” or “inclusiveness” or any of the other bullshit terms they throw about. It’s about fetish. Fetish and domination. It’s about feeding their male fetish and forcing themselves on women.

"ANYTHING that can be said to be "affirming", such as so-called "gender-affirming", can ALSO be SAID to be, as in this example, "gender-negating", or "gender-denying", or "gender-reversing", or "gender-averse", or gender-refusing", or "gender-confusing", etc., and ALL for the exact same reasons""....(I'm phrasing that as a formal, finished quote....), ....

Do you agree or disagree?....

This is brilliant! Since many states have turned formerly female sports into an open category, while the legal battle continues over allowing mediocre males to make the girls who want to play sports act as extras in their fantasy, maybe leave the old teams to the troons (and any girls who feel sad for them), and create an entirely new category of "biology based sports," or BBS. No need to hold everyone hostage over language manipulation. They've thrown tantrums and refused the creation of a mixed-sex category for them, so leave them to squat in the "girls" sports, no swab test required and all "women and girls" welcome. Meanwhile, BBS (notice no inclusion of the word girl or woman) is signing up females and a swab is required.

I've thought the same thing. Why can't there be teams based purely on biological sex? Anyone who doesn't care about biology can play on the open category teams.

When has the male category EVER excluded a male who claimed a "nonbinary" or "transwo" identity? I cannot recall a single time, and most male leagues are already "open" to competitors of all sexes but effectively inaccessible for reasons of physics and physiology.

There is a reason that world records in every sport with a female category are appreciably different between males and females, and none of them are related to unverifiable claims of "identity."

I believe the reason why "women's sports has become a dumping ground for all the different identities" is because females are easier to compete against and win against. That is why both "transgender men" and "transgender women" want to play in female sports. It's because even though they deny biological sex matters in terms of sports they DO KNOW it matters. And that is why they choose the path of least resistance.
