Such a person can compete in womens sports FAIC.
wp:Swyer syndrome
You are defining 'woman' by whether or not sports officials decide they can compete with other women? And then you try to use science afterward?
I think anyone who defines wt:thonself as a woman should be able to compete in any Olympic event as a woman.
You do know that we can see your post history, right?
But this 'thon' thing is very droll. I'm sure you think you've done a real gotcha with it.
As one who dislikes the singular they—I kinda like distinctions in regards to numbers in pronouns—I kinda like "thon."
Again, everyone can see your post history.
Not only can everyone see your post history, they can see the posts you've made in this thread.

So why you're even attempting this nonsense is beyond me.
I kinda wished English 2nd-person pronouns made distinctions for plurality. We know they exist with 1st-person pronouns, but alas, the so-called progressives are ruining plurality in 3rd-person pronouns.
I suppose we could take it up a notch and replace all gender-specific 3rd person pronouns with the singular they.
Cool. That has nothing to do with all the queerphobic shit you're spreading all over this comment section.
What "queerphobic shit."
I neither fear nor hate the transgender, and most of their detractors are conservative bigots and/or idiots.
You're being a bigot.
because I disagree with you.
No, because you say bigoted things like:
I'm not blind.
If a white man says he's a woman, we should accept that thon is a woman.
If a white man says he's black, he should be pilloried for mocking people of African descent.
Once again, you seem to think I'm blind.
