Why are you demanding that someone proves no advantage exists?

I'm not. I'm simply stating that there is a difference, it isn't a matter of debate. It's like saying Kenyans are better at sprinting than white people in general.

I believe that respecting trans people means being honest about the facts, and promoting equality. Both can be true.

You are suggesting that trans women and girls be completely cut off from competitive sports in any form.

You're arguing for trans women to be completely excluded from any form of sports whatsoever

that trans women have some massive advantage over cis women

None of these are claims I've made.

You're hurting real people here.

The only thing I'm hurting is the brains of the people who are jumping on the slippery slope, all the way to the strawman.
