[QUOTE="A.Hinkle, post: 3912092, member: 50585"] Ya I do deny that that statement itself constitutes hate and would be labeled so by the trans community. However depending upon the context and motivations it could be very hateful. "Some people are better at things than others" isn't itself hateful, but if you heard David Duke say it you'd still shiver because you understood what he meant. Context is king. Not to mention this is just a weird place to get stuck, historically womens sports has been an absolute punching bag and many of the people who complain about title ix have suddenly become staunch defenders of womens sports. High school girls have long been forced to compete against guys but it wasn't an issue until it involved other groups that people feel quite strongly against. And to my understanding even the trans community isn't a unified front about the idea of sports. Last but not least, in my personal opinion people put too much emphasis on gender in athletics anyways. If Rhonda Rousey, Amanda Nunes, or Hope Solo beat the ever loving **** out of me it wouldn't be surprising, nor more impressive just because they are female. I firmly believe that approaching people with nuance and understanding as opposed to absolutes benefits everyone, but in particular the firearm community. We suffer from much of the same general lack of education that affects mamy other communities and taking a pro education stance helps, well, everyone. Making Guns an inclusive activity leads to meeting cool people and makes it harder for oppressors to try to take guns away [/QUOTE]
