According to Roughgarden, and science
“Among species that do reproduce sexually, gamete size obeys a near-universal binary between very small (sperm) and large (egg), so that male and female can be defined biologically as the production of small or large gametes, respectively. Beyond these two generalisations, the generalising stops and diversity begins…
The biggest error in biology today is uncritically assuming that the gamete size binary implies a corresponding binary in body type, behaviour, and life history.”

Explanations to ban female athletes is plain and simple transphobia, and scientifically incorrect
By the logic of that argument ie that transgender ladies have an unfair advantage
Is tantamount to saying a 6 foot 4 inch female basketball player has an unfair biological advantage over a 6 foot female basketball player, and ergo should be banned
It’s not scientific, logical, or ethical. It’s not even true
It’s a political hate campaign scapegoating transgender women
For women’s oppression
And it’s het males and their Tracy’s, I’m sorry, not trans women who are responsible for that
Not a poem, a defence of my sisters
