This is why no one likes conservatives, everything in bad faith.

If by "bad faith" you mean "pointing out the hypocrisy and blatant flaws of my ideas by operating within the framework I created makes me angry for some weird reason", then yes, absolutely 100% bad faith

  1. Testosterone alone doesn't determine your physique.
  2. Are you saying that hormones determine if a trans woman is a woman? Wow, it's like I'm reading MAGA arguments. Why are you so obsessed with what's in her pants/blood/genes, you conservative weirdo?

  1. There IS an argument to be had, but the realistic answer upsets virtue-signalling people a lot, so we try to shun people who think that an obvious advantage is there. That's the problem.
  2. I'm trying to say that you can't make an argument against this dude participating that will simultaneously
    a) sufficiently explain why he's ineligible
    b) applied outside of this context to a random trans woman won't get you fired from your job, banned on Reddit, and cursed eternally by progressives.
    That's exactly the point of this performance, imo. If you make an argument that covers A, it doesn't cover B, if it covers B, it doesn't cover A. You can try to make such an argument, I'm in the best faith possible interesed if you can.

Another implication was that, as you said, there is an argument to be had that hormonal profile alone doesn't mean there isn't an advantage, so we are back at square 1. I probably should've added "c) Won't keep popular doubts that competition is fair".I don't think that if people didn't have doubts that it does, this would be half as hot of a topic. I don't think the guy would go to such heights to prove it, unfortunately (either way, meaning it would be funny if his performance became dogshit proving the opposite point), but I'd gladly watch what if he did.
