The best way to understand the conflict is that there would be no conflict if men didn't demand access to women's spaces and sports based on the erroneous notion that one can change sex. But do accept my apologies, I didn't realise you were the thread master.
Cyndicate (@cyndicate.bsky.social) reply parent
You made a value judgement based on the people you know. The thread is about a group who hijacked the celebration of a woman's achievements by advocating for trans women in women's sport. That, indeed, has policy implications as we've just seen in the Supreme Court.
