    Yeah, good work there breaking the women’s world record, mister.

    Rachel McKinnon is not a woman. He is a man with a personality disorder.

    Until recently, a woman was an adult human female. One is a bigot if one still considers this definition valid. Today, a woman is someone who identifies as a woman. That is, someone who believes themselves to be woman. Or, putting it another way, someone who thinks they are a woman. So what is it that they actually think they are? Clearly not an adult human female, because they’re not bigots. So, what is it? If a person thinks they are a woman, that person must have some concept of what this thing “woman” is. What is that concept? If anyone knows the answer, I’d be grateful if they’d clear this up for me. Also, is there a term for “adult human female” that I should be using?

    I just googled McKinnon to see what sport he participated in, and on the first results page was a link to a site called procyclingstats.com along this strange start to Mckinnon’s biography

    Rachel Mckinnon (born 0000-00-00) is a female road racing cyclist from Canada,…

    First, no, not a female cyclist but a male cyclist using his transgender identity to compete in the women’s races.

    Second, what’s with that date of birth. Are we now to believe that the magic contained within the spell I am a woman! not only causes an instant trans-formation (sic) but also makes the lucky transperson miraculously become one of the unborn?

    Shit! Move over, Mary; your virgin pregnancy schtick has just been out-miracled.

    On a much more serious note, I am dreading the day when transwomen are climbing into boxing rings to fight women. All else being equal, the average power-weight ratio of a male-bodied athlete being higher than that of a woman makes serious or even fatal injuries inevitable – for the females, of course. I would also stick my neck out a say that once transwomen boxers are fighting female opponents, punches to the breasts will become a common sight in the ring, particularly from those transwomen with male, muscled chests who won’t have to fear like-for-like retaliation, and will already have their own pain-sensitive organs protected by the rule against punching below the belt.

    Oh, dude, that’s already happened. See: Fallon Fox.

    Wow, that’s something else. Fallon Fox won all but one of her fights against women, and won most of them in the first round. I wonder why? (Not really)

    So, the record of transwomen taking up in sports is increasing steadily. And no one in the crowds of “trans are who” even questions whether this should indicate something weird in their stance? How long should it take before they notice anything? The complete disappearance of any women in sports?

    Women in sport will never disappear, because trans women are women – silly.

    This paper is a little old, but might be a good leaping off point for further research for those interested.
