    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.”

              I kinda wished English 2nd-person pronouns made distinctions for plurality. We know they exist with 1st-person pronouns, but alas, the so-called progressives are ruining plurality in 3rd-person pronouns.

              I suppose we could take it up a notch and replace all gender-specific 3rd person pronouns with the singular they.
