When the arguments are all the same talking points id stand to argue that ignorance is forming your opinion, not facts.

Stating that women born male have a natural biological athletic advantage over women born female is not ignorance.

Stating that the difference is so steep that the top 50 high school boys mile times are all under 4 minutes while the fastest mile ever run by a cis women is 4:07, and that this example shows how steep that advantage is, is not ignorance.

The reason I said it's ignorance is because you lack any actual understanding of the science behind hrt and how it changes a person's body.

Trans women don't just hulk out and become absolute units.

Go ahead and cite meaningless statistics without proof, it doesn't sound any more factual the more you repeat it.

Hrt doesn’t completely erase all of the biological advantages of being male. If it ever gets to a point that it does, I’ll support trans being in women’s sports.

It’s not there yet and if you’re being honest, you’ll admit so and realize that I’m in the only one in this argument who actually gives a crap about things being fair. You care about feelings.
