Lacks nuance / Straw man arguments hide behind “science”

“Was excited to learn more about science of trans athletes. Disappointed to have host openly admit his bias and lament he had to use an athletes pronouns in order to participate in Sloan panel. Can’t seem to grasp or use basic terminology like cis vs trans when discussing male and female athletes. No discussion of what guidelines should look like for trans athletes who go on puberty blockers or cross hormone therapy before puberty. No mention of history of cis women being excluded from open Olympic sports when they outperformed cis men, only to have Olympics create gendered competition to protect cis men. No discussion of how trans men should be included in sports. No discussion of intersex individuals or if elite athletics should have guidelines on naturally occurring hormone levels or chromosomes. If we want to find a solution that is fair and inclusive, we need fewer voices like this that ignore any nuance, can’t catch up on basics of the topic, and openly admit their bias.”
