    I recently read an article about transgender athlete Andraya Yearwood that frustrated me so much that I have broken it down piece by piece and written a response.https://medium.com/@aniobrien/a-right-to-compete-a-gender-critical-response-62b759e2d1f5 …

        Good response. You were so on point about the creative writing classes. Never mind the content the writing is a crime against eyes.

        I read the entire thing. I now feel I have done my January penance in full. To be fair to the writer that “style” is popular in the US.

        It’s America, so no. I used to get the NY Times on Sunday when I lived there. The writing is either long & dry or long & flowery. To be fair, I pretty much only read the Style section

        Well done. Everything you say seems to be completely, obviously true. The bodies which manage competitive sports really need to address this issue.

        It is absurd. Nice breakdown and response... Many of us are frustrated. Apparently, common sense, reasonable logic, and a plethora of known facts is not enough to maintain a healthy debate. We're all just haters.

        Yes. Anyone deviating from the accepted gender ideology beliefs is a bigot and a hater. It’s an insane world.

        Did anyone notice, this young person came out as a gay Male and her THERAPIST suggested transgender? How are gay men not rising up to protest this. If one is effeminate and gay, may he is "really" a girl? Are you kidding me?

        That part struck me too. The adults in Andraya’s life failed him.

        Excellent article. I was hoping someone would confront this insufferable pile of blatantly misogynist gender propaganda. My only criticism is you are way to generous & nice to these dangerously delusional rabid incel trans fascists who happily trample women's legal & human rights

        The “learning *13* languages” part is the most incredible falsehood in a story full of them. Seriously? Is Andraya secretly the reincarnation of Umberto Eco too? Is he building a cyclotron in the garage? Seeding clouds? Cooling the oceans? FFS.

        Thx for writing this. I think it’s worth noting- since the white “journalist” writing this piece is dogwhistling abt racism- that most of the girls AY and TM are running against are Black.
