Send it right back
It takes so much lying and concealing and manipulation to keep this ideology going.
Yes we know you’re happy to do this manipulative wording, but your happiness is not the issue here. The issue is that saying “transgender” instead of “a man” carefully and with malice aforethought hides the fact that the man in question is a man. We know you’re happy to drive a 16-wheeler through women’s rights but women are not happy to have 16-wheelers driven through our rights.
We’ve only said this a billion times. The issue is not transgender, the issue is that he’s a man in a women’s competition. That’s the part that matters. That’s the part that’s an attack on the rights of women, as you must know perfectly well or you wouldn’t be so determinedly hiding it.
The teeny-tiniest of nits to pick:
The term I think you’re aiming for is “18-wheeler,” referring to the number of wheels on a standard tractor-trailer combination.
Wull I looked it up before posting and there are 16 wheelers, though 18 is more usual, so I gave myself permission to say it.
The lying is so incompetent, they have it exactly backwards! He was only originally allowed to compete against women because – unlike most other men – he claimed to be ‘trans’; he was barred because all men are barred from competing against women whether or not they claim to be ‘trans’.
@#2, fair enough

I don’t get out where there’s a lot of lorry traffic usually, but I did get to do a round trip to the other side of the city mid-week, so I did some wheel-counting. Every articulated lorry I saw had a tractor unit with ten wheels: the front, steerable axle with a single wheel at each side, and two rear axles each with twin wheels at each side. All the trailers had three axles each with a single wheel at each side. So, all were sixteen-wheelers (even though not all of them had all the wheels on the road). I saw no antics with more wheels.
