“The binary scheme of sex categorization is a false dichotomy: a dichotomy that is misunderstood and misappropriated in ways that can cause harm. This is the dichotomy that I must work within, as most if not all research on athletes considers sex a binary attribute.”

“There are different ways to define biological sex (based on the presence of gonads, internal and external genitalia, chromosomes, or hormones). None of these consistently present a clear and hard boundary between male and female; instead, each presents a range of variation.”

What I’m saying is that things aren’t always black and white as we think. We’re not scientists, so both of us have a small understanding about sex and gender. We can’t solely depend on what we learned in biology class at high school. Biology goes beyond way beyond that.

Whether it’s long or short, an advantage is an advantage. When we talk about advantages, we often forget that there are nuances. Plus, there are non-biological factors that give men an advantage over women in sports, but we rarely talk about them.

I ask this because you seem so knowledgeable in the area of sex and gender.

People who believe in gender criticism believe that sex is binary, but they fail to understand that there is more to determining sex than just looking at chromosomes or the genitalia. Chances are, people who do call themselves gender critical don’t even know what their own chromosomes are.

And about your source, SheWon:
Did you know that both SheWon and HeCheated included “sports” that do not appear to have a sex-based “biological advantage” at all such as poker, darts, billiards, and competitive oyster shucking?
Sounds shady, doesn’t it?

Which account from Gaines do we believe?

Or
Her going on Fox News since Konwerski’s interview to talk about feeling “traumatized” and having experienced “extreme discomfort” with sharing a locker room with Lia?

It doesn’t erase that Gaines can’t keep her story straight based on her answers that she gave to Konawerski.
If someone came to you and said something about a person, then later on you find out they’re saying the opposite of what they told you about that same person, would you still believe them?

Regardless of the video, it doesn’t erase the answers that Gaines provided to Konwerski about the locker room situation.
After the interview with Konwerski, she changed her story when she was on Fox News. She went from, “I was never uncomfortable around Lia” to “I was traumatized around Lia.”
