The policy the article is about...
Ok, what is bad about it?
It's effectively a blanket ban for trans women. Everyone should be allowed to compete.
Where as a much better policy actually takes two seconds to think about things:

They are allowed to compete, they just have to compete with other males.
I'm aware of how the shitty rules work.
Your statement claiming its a blanket ban for trans women says otherwise. They are allowed to compete.
Please actually read next time.
It's not effectively a blanket ban, there's no ban at all.
Forcing people to compete with people they are unequal with is effectively a blanket ban.
Not being good enough to compete/qualify is not a ban.
Please read what I said. You're still not understanding what I am saying.
I understand just fine, you're trying to claim that only allowing males to compete against other males is somehow banning trans females.
That is not what I am saying. Hence your inability to understand.
Not being good enough to compete is not a ban of any kind. By that logic obese people are banned from Olympic sprinting.
You're just arguing against a strawman.
Are you calling yourself a strawman or your position?
Then you must not understand what a strawman is.
Here you go

You claimed I was arguing against a strawman, I still don't know if you're calling yourself or your argument a strawman.
