I searched for images, I listened his voice. He is definitely not a woman. I love women, but he is not one of them. It is over tolerant and discriminating women, that they have to fight with a male for medals! What a shame for womankind!!!

Male and female. That's it.
Maybe there is some extremely small fraction of humanity that is born with two heads or a third eye, but none of that counts with respect to what we're talking about.
Hm we are all humans. why make up some arbitrary categories?
We didn't make it up. It just is. Not arbitrary at all.
And even if we did make them up, the categories work very well and has worked very well since the beginning of humanity. That's why.

Why shouldn't this make the home page? It's an important issue for women in sports. Sure, the Brojos seem to lean conservative (I don't), and the site (especially the boards) can be a hotbed of racism and misogyny, but this is one of the few places I've seen truthful reporting on the Semenya situation and questions about transwomen competing in the women's category.
The average person has no idea how much biological sex impacts athletic performance, and companies like Strava are all to happy to virtual signal for profit. I've had people with PhDs tell me that they think sports participation ought to be based on gender identity, rather than biological sex. And Rachel McKinnon uses her professorship to research herself, all the while bullying biological females who question the fairness of competing against somebody who lived as a man for 30 years (with 30 years of male-levels of testosterone). This is garden variety misogyny masquerading as social justice, and it's being perpetrated by a relatively privileged person claiming to be oppressed. This kind of behavior is going to spark backlash against trans people, more broadly, many of whom want basic civil rights but do not support the inclusion of transwomen in women's sports categories.
I agree with 90% of this but what civil rights are they being denied?
