Well, “the hormones one has been affected by” maps to “male/female”, “ man/woman”, “penis/vagina”, 99.95% of the time. And the very rare occasions where the distinction isn’t clear has nothing at all to do with being trans.
So in other words, you admit that it is insufficient for accuracy to use those words, and there is a better way to refer to these things, that your correlation is imperfect in the face of a causality, and you just don't want to relent on behalf of the people stepped on by a willful misapplication of these ideas.
The nice thing about my position is that it does not even require the rare distinctions to have anything to do with being trans for to fix them.
The difficulty lies in certain very rare DSD conditions, and even then people affected are either male or female. That is an entirely separate issue to trans identity. As I suggested before, a fair solution would be to reclassify sport into an Open category, and a non-androgenised category
that all but essentially means biologically female.
And then you step in it again.
All you had to do was just stop without bringing up the bolded portion. Then demand that this is what happens.
Why are you so frightened of females that the very term is verboten to you?
As will and does happen more and more every day, children born with testes are growing up without testosterone, generally with progesterone and estrogen instead.
Some so born may never be affected by either.
Some born with ovaries will grow up indistinguishable from a fair number of folks born with testicles, with broad shoulders and square chins and low cheekbones.
And in a generation we're going to look back and try to figure out why we let this travesty occur to so many helpless children, what kind of social madness grabbed hold of us all and made us as a society think that mutilating and sterilizing children was a good thing to do.
I'll also point out again that SKELETAL FORMATION IS NOT A RESULT OF HORMONE EXPOSURE. It exists from birth. It exists from birth because males and females are different. We're different from the point at which that sperm breaches the egg.
Generally, it will be the case that most will probably be competing mostly with "girls", at least until they get old enough for a hormone prescription. Doesn't mean they are on a team specifically for girls; some will be people born with testicles, yet who are not girls!
As I have stated, the relevant factor is hormones.
You keep misconstruing from some perhaps unintentional ignorance you can consider yourself relieved of today, insofar as trans kids are growing up into trans adults who have never been subjected to the effects of testosterone.
Most wish to be called women! But my compromising on 'women' you secure the win for all who shouldn't be deprived of fair competition!
You know, all you're doing is making it clear that women (adult human females) and girls (immature human females) absolutely 100% should NOT surrender the language with which we identify and describe ourselves and our experiences. If you're going to force a pairing in which engaging in the polite fiction that a transgender identified male is a "woman" necessarily requires that I also surrender the very real differences of their sex from my entire vocabulary, then I'm sorry, but my politeness ends at the point where my existence, my experience, my rights, my dignity - and that of all other female human beings - is erased from our communications and is rendered meaningless.
