Because my personality is that i enjoy that kind of music.  I also like football... so is that another gender?  I enjoy video games, tabletop games... is that another gender??

Fair enough. So, if you are using a public bathroom and a man dressed as a cat rocks up. Would you be happy to let him use the same bathroom or would you insist he finds a litter tray? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I guess he'd identify as a male Tom cat. He can wee in the urinal if he chooses.  What do you think of furries? Most but not all so my question stands.

Guest   #143 Posted August 8, 2022 It's good to see that the RFU has ruled sensibly on safety and fairness in rugby:  Quote  The review of published, peer-reviewed studies concluded that there are retained advantages in strength, stamina and physique between the average transgender person assigned male at birth (who has passed through puberty and adolescence), and the average female. Current research indicates that testosterone suppression does not negate this physical advantage over females and so cannot guarantee competitive fairness and/or safety. Both World Rugby and SCEG emphasise that inclusion of trans people assigned male at birth in female contact sport cannot be balanced against considerations of safety and fairness. Therefore, a ‘precautionary approach’ has been adopted to ensure fair competition and the safety of competitors. More specifically, ‘due to developmental changes brought about by male puberty, it is appropriate and necessary to maintain a female only category of contact rugby as well as certain eligibility requirements for male categories from the Under 12 age grade upwards and continuing into the adult game’. ...  Biological males are typically larger, have more muscle, are stronger, faster, and more powerful. All these factors create physiological differences that are so large that they create insurmountable performance advantages for biological males in almost all sports (and not just rugby), along with associated risk factors for females in direct competition with them. lt is for this reason that rugby is separated into categories of biological sex, rather than gender.   From here. This is a direct link to a PDF file.

Saying one does not think someone is a woman when that person thinks they are is free speech, and if anyone would be offended by someone saying that the answer is simple, don't read it. Why do all these over sensitive type insist on upsetting themselves by reading a load of stuff they do not actually have to read ?
