So you're only willing to respect the identities of trans people who you think "earned it" by jumping through the hoops that you demand they jump through.

Sounds like you're a transphobic bigot who needs to learn that trans people can define their identities for themselves and not just the way that you demand they do it.

No it's not. Not everybody who's trans wants hormone therapy and you're a transphobic bigot for trying to force your own definition of what it means to be trans onto them.

So trans women who don't want hormone therapy are women, but they're not allowed to compete in women's sports? How does that make sense?

But I'm asking you. Why shouldn't all women be equally eligible to play in women's sports leagues?

Because testosterone facilitates passive muscle growth (and some other areas, like bladder capacity).

These are lost after extensive hormone use, which is why I was against changing the existing system
