Attacks on transgenders — both verbal and physical attacks — are part of a movement to dehumanize others — and the number of people who are susceptible to joining in the hatred is appalling.

And don’t get me started on the incongruity of using “holiness” as an attempt to veil hatred and to obsess about what is between someone else’s legs. If an adult decides to do something totally legal, why should anyone else care.

BUT, that being said, I agree that transgender women should not be competing against female athletes who were born female. This is not just about the Olympics, it is about all levels of sports, from informal competitions to the awarding of scholarships. Height and strength can make all the difference in athletic competition……

Let’s be fair.

Dear Cybersprings,

Calm the heck down and read the last paragraph in my post quoted above. Looks like you missed the part where I stood up for women’s rights — been doing that for decades.

I guess I hit a hot button with the other part of my post though. Could not bear to read beyond that maybe?

I will address your other attack in my next post, so I can include another with the same pattern of constant, condescending responses………Doppelgänger?
