    I would agree with that definition of truscum, but that’s not the definition you are using

    How the fucking hell isn’t it? Here’s the only place I used “truscum”, at all, aside from explaining what I meant by the word. (along with the line from your post that inspired the comment.)

    When in fact, trans women are biologically female. Some trans women are physically male because they choose not to be on HRT, cannot be on HRT due to medical issues, or simply don’t respond to HRT. We don’t need to be truscum to advocate for trans girls in sports.

    From the rest of your comment I would think that we at least rhetorically agree that not all trans women are “biologically female” by any definition of the phrase, unless one would assert that the latter is a prerequisite for the former. Which I presumed you didn’t fucking mean to do, which is why the subject in my usage of the bioessentialist smear was the first person plural.

    I would offer some politeness here, but I already gave a fucking cursory apology when I offered a definition of the word I used once and then didn’t fucking use again. Which is why I’m aggravated that you wrote six fucking paragraphs about it, while ignoring that we agree on all the fucking principles here!

      WoodScientist, DomeGuy,

      i’m sorry to see your mutual irritation and just want to say you both know so much more than the average stupid person like me.
      You are both going into subtle details in this matter.
      … if it helps settle your differences, please find in me an absolute jerk who would say the following :
      Sport isn’t important at all and most people giving it any thought other than keeping in shape and being happy are going the wrong way. Sports in television or for money + professional sport in my view is useless and counterproductive.

      Please enjoy your similarities.
