I have know a few trans people in my life, although I would not pretend that they were friends, particularly. I don't have a single concern about trans men or women or what they choose to do or be, or what they choose to call themselves or become, and I have no problem with using whichever pronoun they prefer (I will not, however, use plural pronouns to describe a singular person). I did not say YOU particularly labeled me transphobic, but that others on this page have, without knowing a thing about me.

My only concern about transsexuals is that trans women should not be allowed to compete with biological women in sports. You can make whatever statements you want about biological uncertainty, but in the vast - vast - majority of births the biological sex is clear. A person born as an identifiable male will in almost all cases grow up with higher levels of testosterone and other hormones that will make them bigger, stronger, faster, with more endurance. If he has gone through puberty, that person will always have an advantage over a similarly situated woman who never went through male puberty. You can object that estrogen weakens the muscles, but it will not close the gap. So no matter how you slice it, a trans woman will be using "weakened" male muscles to compete with women using female muscles. It is not fair. Call me whatever you want, but I stand with cis women on this issue.
