Eggs raise a similar concern in that hens, who…

Academics declare that animals other than humans have conscious experience. Profound. We've had anticruelty laws for 200+ years. They don't apply to rocks. They apply to animals to whom we can be 'cruel.' And that means animals who are subjectively aware. sites.google.com/nyu.edu/nydecl…

FYI: <<HOW DARE HE? My male rapist claimed to be a woman so cops, lawyers & judge all called him she – it’s unfair, only men can commit rape>>

Although TRAs often claim that there is a biological element to gender identity, they will never say that only those with that element can legitimately claim to be trans. They will never reject self-ID. This shows that the arguments about biology are transparently nonsense.

I find ever so curious that TRAs think that the race analogy does not work because race is a construct developed primarily for the purpose of racist oppression. Do TRAs not realize that gender is also a construct used primarily to reinforce the oppression of patriarchy?

I would like my colleagues* in the Philosophy of Sport community to watch this and reflect on it. And the academic sport community more widely.

Because that's what we do - watch sport and reflect on it.

*many, but not all, have got the memo.

The main problem with the 'inclusion' argument pressed by TRAs is that it maintains that we must believe/say we believe in trans ideology and reject women's private spaces/sports, etc. but this position can *only* be inclusive by *excluding* women's legitimate interests.
