Mod Edit (Chris): This discussion opens with a very messy split out from the Online Safety Bill thread. It is here to discuss three main strands of the so-called gender debate which tend to get lumped together under the catch-all title ‘trans rights’ (whether they ought to or not is part of the discussion).

Main issues that are on-topic for this thread:

1. Fair treatment of individuals who have a genetic disorder (especially relevant in sports, as the opening posts in this thread demonstrate)
2. Rights, freedoms and obligations of individuals who claim to ‘identify’ as a ‘gender’ other than their natural born sex
3. Medical treatment of individuals, and especially children, who may have a condition called gender dysphoria (discussion of the Cass review and its consequences for UK health policy for example).

#NoDebate is not an option. Post away.

Or just claim to be a woman while doing it.

Hell they’ll even give you a gold medal for punching a few in the face.
