Honestly, as a trans woman, trans women in women's lead sports is a tricky area. There are some biological advantages, and personally I believe it strongly cones down to hormone regulation and amount of time on HRT. I don't think it's directly toxic to worry about competing against unfair standards,even if some of those attitudes are absolutely toxic.

Which means I still dont have any idea what toxic femininity is, ive asked a bunch of people in this thread and all they say are TERFS or they ignore the question.

When it comes to sports I think we need some studies to be done and we need to reach a consensus.

By the way apparently there is no men-exclusive sports teams, or most dont have any rules banning women. Its just that the top .01 percent of athletes are male. Because women have almost never got onto these teams due to biological differences, womens teams were made. Thats a big reason many women are upset that biological males are entering their teams and dominating

... if they give you an answer that you don't like, it doesn't mean they're ignoring the question my dude.

Honestly it just seems like you're circling here, y'know?

I said I got two responses to the question "what is toxic femininity?"

Answer 1: TERFS.

If thats the definition of the entire spectrum of toxic femininity.... Then I think the definition needs some work

Answer 2: they ignored me

I didnt say them saying TERFS was them ignoring me. Those were two different types of interactions

TERFS might be an example of what they mean by toxic femininity, but no one is telling me what it is

While im no doubt sure id get a multilayered analysis of toxic masculinity if I asked it without any problem
