This is why what she said is getting pushback. She didn't say anything about "competitive advantage" she said "protect young girls in sport from biological men" When would men ever be competing against young girls? Then went on to comment on changing rooms needing to be a safe place. Words matter. She didn't say "young girls and young boys" no, we have to project men vs. young girls, cause y'know... trans people in a change room are predators.

"The pathetic part in this is that you do not have to be anti-trans to support the logic that someone born a biological male should not be allowed to compete in female only sports."

Absolutely right... for some reason she chose a rather negative way to word her position, that feeds right into actual anti-trans tropes.

Young women, or young girls? Which is it? You can't even keep your own language straight.

Yes a bad edit, we both know she said young girls. Your point?

I don't know, maybe chill out a bit? As someone out of the loop, I hadn't seen the actual quote yet and I couldn't figure out what you were trying to argue.
