minus-square@jimbolauskilink0•11 months agoI understand just fine, you’re trying to claim that only allowing males to compete against other males is somehow banning trans females.
minus-square@PizzaManlink2•11 months agoThat is not what I am saying. Hence your inability to understand.

Not being good enough to compete/qualify is not a ban.
