What is the variability in chromosomes when it comes to gender? What percentage is neither XX nor XY? Let's put it this way - more people believe in men on the moon. We're not talking about these exceptions.
She received bonus points on her application to Harvard. Are you not following along? And yes, women's gender benefits in courtroom procedings are directly relevent. Moreso for an even further marginalized minority, such as a transgender person, right?
Research is not leading in one direction. Activists are pushing an agenda. The science on difference brains is bunk.
Or are you saying male and female brains are different? Better not tell a feminist that they're "seperate but equal".
Not call yourself. Compete with other athletes.
Should this woman be beating up other women?

I'm now on my iPad so breaking up the quotes is too annoying, but I'll paragraph accordingly.
I'm not really sure how race and nationality correlate as I would use them. I'm 1/8 Irish but that has nothing to do with how I think of race.
The variability is people who identify differently to their chromosomes, and that I'm treating sex and gender as two separate somewhat related concepts.
I'm clearly not following along. I disagreed with your first sentence in that post. I have no idea what this Warren character has to do with anything yet. How is that an "entitlement"? Is there a points system where they have to given you extra for it?
Yes, male and female brains have differences. How much of this is down to socialisation and how it might affect behaviour is not well understood. Environment changes brain structure and there is a huge amount of individual variability here. However, research indicates that trans people share characteristics of the gender they recognise themselves as and not what that of their chromosomes.
As for the sport thing, this is another area where the answer is to go with the science. Since I compete in combat sports, that's the area I have most knowledge and reservation about. There's serious risk to the safety of fighters here, but I'll stress that this is a question for doctors and not me. In other sports I don't really care very much.
