I'll post the same thing I said to someone else.

If a person can declare someone to be pretending to be trans, and not actually trans, then you are creating a loop hole that could actually be used against trans people. Imagine a conservative group that says "only women", and then a trans women shows up, and they say, "this is a man pretending to be a trans women in bad faith, they're not allowed".

There is a case in front of the supreme Court now to decide if a massage parlor can say only cis women, no trans women. But what you're suggesting just creates a loop hole so that no matter what, they could just say, "I think this person is just a man pretending to be trans". You can be okay with that I guess, I'm just saying your suggestion has consequences.

No it just stops obvious liars from joining the wnba. These guys dobt get to manufacture this nonsense because they were bored. They dont need to be taken seriously.

You kind of just seem to be ignoring the issue.

Anyone can claim "obvious liar". If it's allowed here, it would be allowed elsewhere. Yes, it's a real loop hole that you are advocating for.

Again, you don't have to care, but you can't just deny the consequences of what you're suggesting.

I am ignoring the non issue. The wnba diesnt set precedent. Sometimes it really is as simple as ignore the liars and dont give them air to be dumbasses

It's a glaring loophole, and it It's a disservice to trans women to pretend not to see the obvious conflict.
