    O yeah, that’s kind of right. The first question is improper to begin with. I don’t agree with the wording “hostile” though, this is waaay over exaggerated, and I think the reason why there’s so much people wo want some normality back. They want to hold a conversation (and make tactless mistakes like everyone else) without being told they are absolutely hostile. It should be more like “no, you mixed me up, I’m not Mark, I’m Jon”

    Also. The question is halfway legit if someone has a romantic or sexual intention and wants to know if his preferences are met. This is absolutely legit. Though then the question shouldnt be ‘a or b’ but “Are you A?”.

    What do you want to do about competitive sports? Abolish separate rankings or let just everyone compete where and how he likes?

      No, hostile is exactly the word. These are not tactless mistakes - no one is living under a rock and unaware of the conflict of gender. They’ve either digested transphobic rhetoric and accepted it or they’ve understood the obtuseness of the binary and course corrected. Frankly, if you haven’t course corrected, you deserve hostility from the trans community imo.

      The only reason someone would be asking what sex you are is if they are wanting to play cloak and dagger romance, where you never state your intentions and still somehow expect to get into the other person’s pants. That’s not a healthy way to romance and never was, and is likely a big reason for why such a large proportion of people get sexually assaulted in the US.

      The issue of trans people in sports is a bullshit non-issue and has been for a while. It is exclusively a talking point to try and get laymen to agree that trans people should be regulated. It’s conclusion is the policing of all women’s bodies. It’s already been debunked to the moon and back, so if you don’t give a shit enough to even look up how stupid your claim is, You don’t deserve any amount of respect or tact in this conversation.
