            Disagreement with the politically correct about transgender is necessarily transphobic.

              Do tell me where you studied genetics at a graduate level to make the determination you just made.

              Otherwise yeah, you’re being a queerphobe.

                Your right: only the elite and/or those with a university degrees can discuss this issue.

                  You are defining a woman by her genes. So yes, I expect you to have a university degree to be able to make such an authoritative definition.

                  Just like I would expect you to have a degree in physics before making an authoritative definition based on properties of physics.

                    Several decades ago, the authorities on the subject regarded homosexuality as a mental disorder. Fortunately not all LGBT lay-people deferred to their judgements.

                    Just like I would expect you to have a degree in physics before making an authoritative definition based on properties of physics.

                    So I need a degree to say “E=mc2.”

                    I never joined that site.

          I see. And what about people with Swyer Syndrome? They can live their entire lives with no one, not even them, suspecting their chromosomes are XY. Men? Should we be genetically testing every woman to make sure she isn’t really a man and doesn’t know it?

            Such a person can compete in womens sports FAIC.

            wp:Swyer syndrome

            A 2017 study estimated that the incidence of Swyer syndrome is approximately 1 in 100,000 females.[22] Fewer than 100 cases have been reported as of 2018. There are extremely rare instances of familial Swyer syndrome.[23][24]

              You are defining ‘woman’ by whether or not sports officials decide they can compete with other women? And then you try to use science afterward?

                  You do know that we can see your post history, right?

                  But this ‘thon’ thing is very droll. I’m sure you think you’ve done a real gotcha with it.

                    As one who dislikes the singular they—I kinda like distinctions in regards to numbers in pronouns—I kinda like “thon.”

          Seems like if you have to make exceptions for your definition to work, it’s not a very good definition.
