    "an increase in participation of self-identifying males”

    These aren’t guys who claim transgenderism or non-binary identity, these are men.

    Gender is what an individual feels like: and it’s a consistent feeling regardless of their circumstances.

    Nobody in good faith argued that your gender changes at the drop of a hat or whenever convenient. The transgender people I know have experienced significant suffering for decades due to a mismatch in feeling vs societal impositions.

    White isn’t being a bigot: you are with your terf talking points. Fuck off.

      They didn’t poll anyone already at the conference. There were no genital checks at the door. This is Cullen White making a prima facie observation of people who present as men and claiming they “lied about their gender identity when signing up.”

      It sounds like both you and White feel entitled to dictate to others their gender.
