    I see. And what about people with Swyer Syndrome? They can live their entire lives with no one, not even them, suspecting their chromosomes are XY. Men? Should we be genetically testing every woman to make sure she isn’t really a man and doesn’t know it?

      Such a person can compete in womens sports FAIC.

      wp:Swyer syndrome

      A 2017 study estimated that the incidence of Swyer syndrome is approximately 1 in 100,000 females.[22] Fewer than 100 cases have been reported as of 2018. There are extremely rare instances of familial Swyer syndrome.[23][24]

        You are defining ‘woman’ by whether or not sports officials decide they can compete with other women? And then you try to use science afterward?

          I think anyone who defines wt:thonself as a woman should be able to compete in any Olympic event as a woman.

            You do know that we can see your post history, right?

            But this ‘thon’ thing is very droll. I’m sure you think you’ve done a real gotcha with it.

              As one who dislikes the singular they—I kinda like distinctions in regards to numbers in pronouns—I kinda like “thon.”

                Again, everyone can see your post history.

                Not only can everyone see your post history, they can see the posts you’ve made in this thread.

                So why you’re even attempting this nonsense is beyond me.

                  I kinda wished English 2nd-person pronouns made distinctions for plurality. We know they exist with 1st-person pronouns, but alas, the so-called progressives are ruining plurality in 3rd-person pronouns.

                  I suppose we could take it up a notch and replace all gender-specific 3rd person pronouns with the singular they.

                    Cool. That has nothing to do with all the queerphobic shit you’re spreading all over this comment section.
