Why are you making it one thing or the other? We can have more than one conversation. Do you think we should shut up about trans rights altogether because all this bickering over such an insignificant number of people is distracting from larger human rights issues?
If it's the case that the conversation itself upsets you because it hurts and you're sick of seeing it, I totally get that; it's valid.
So by your logic we should just roll over and allow them to run roughshod over our rights then while we debate every minute detail of our bodies and whether they affect competitiveness in silly games.
Got it. The general population has barely any attention capacity for this so let’s just keep playing on the conservatives terms then. Great effort.
For every conversation you have about hormone levels you could be raising awareness of far more pressing issues in our community and calling conservatives bluffs instead of falling for the red herring.
I would like to understand what you're saying better. I assume the original OP was a thread about sports (though honestly I have no idea). Given that context, how should someone in OP's position behave/respond (if at all) to the posts about trans women in sports?
