It's not sophistry. It's called acceptance of "other" even if you don't understand it, or like it, and trying to include everyone in whatever capacity they are able and interested.

No one needs a participation trophy. But everyone should have the opportunity to participate.
Nice kumbaya response... But it's irrelevant to the discussion...

This conversation is about biological MEN competing against biological WOMEN. Biology gives the MEN a significant advantage.
