    Did you? Your nuggets of wisdom in this thread are that no one cares about women’s sports, that the reason women don’t try to compete with men is because they’re afraid of the discrimination and abuse they’d face, and when people point out that there’s a very real physical disadvantage that keeps women out of most men’s sports, you drop some condescending accusatory question like “so the best woman sportball is worse than the worst man in sportball?”, which, again, in a thread about trans women in sports, comes off as a gotcha question and an argument against the inclusion of trans women in women’s sports.

    I can see reading through your comment history now that you’re clearly not the person I thought I was arguing with, but if you don’t see how your comments in this thread could be taken the wrong way, I don’t know how to help you.

      Nuggets of wisdom? Gotcha questions?

      I never claimed to be wise or trying to trap you.

      Also, it’s not about fear, it’s about facing bigotry. There’s a huge difference. Jackie Robinson was one of the bravest people in history in my opinion. I wouldn’t expect anyone to have his level of bravery.

      Maybe stop making silly assumptions about me. You already made the silly assumption that I wasn’t even who I am.

      Wouldn’t it be amazing if, instead of regularly pointing an accusatory finger at me, you actually asked me questions?

      Nah. You wouldn’t learn anything about me by asking me.
