Except here's the thing; I'm pretty sure I've read this athlete has a vagina, and has had one all of her life. They just don't understand sex, and how complex it can be.
There's nothing complex. Algerian looks like a man, so people assume said person was trans, only to find out... still shouldn't be competing against women.
Everybody understands that intersex/hermaphrodite (only mentioning the latter in case someone's scientific vocabulary isn't up to date) humans are a thing.
What I don't understand is how it would be fair to all other women to let her compete. We could make an intersex/trans category, but that would be nigh non-existent due to too few competitors. It's a damned if you, damned if you don't situation.
Trans women were allowed in the Olympics for 20 years and haven't won a single gold medal. The whole debate is just some made up unscientific garble by bigots.
Honestly, most conservatives are just directing their rage toward whatever conservative politicians and talking heads tell them to direct it at. Conservatism lives and thrives on hate, requiring in-groups and out-groups that must be pitted against one another. The new fad is to care about a person’s genitals.
You see, conservatives don’t believe in gender equality, so someone who isn’t a cis woman will always perform better than cis women, because they believe that women are inherently weak and men are inherently strong, failing to believe that any other form of gender identity even exists.
