I’m really tired of repeating myself. People keep telling me that the topic of including trans and/or intersex women in women’s sport is “complicated.” But it’s not. It’s very simple. Are trans women really women, full stop, or not? If you think “Yes,” then there’s no debate: trans and intersex women, as women, belong in women’s sport. If you think “No,” then there’s absolutely nothing I can say that will change your mind. Reasons didn’t get you into that belief, and they won’t be what get you out of it. It’s a little like arguing with a flat-Earther: if you are convinced that the Earth is flat, then you’ll find any reason, no matter how irrational, to hold onto that belief in the face of overwhelming evidence.
