Chad Carlson: Men in Women's Sports is Unfair--And Dangerous

link

Before any more specialized discussions about this topic are taken up, one thing must be made clear: there are no male women and no female men. The leftist Newspeak term for men who misrepresent themselves as women is 'trans women'--a patently and absurdly misleading term. It's astonishing how much mileage the progressive left gets out of its Newspeak--but that's all it is. Making up a new term ("trans") and misusing the term 'woman' does nothing to change the facts. "Trans women" are, in fact, men.

Dr. Carlson does it right: to conduct this discussion rationally, we must refer to men as men and eschew progressive Newspeak terms like "trans woman."

To paraphrase Lincoln: calling a horse's tail a leg won't give it five legs... And calling it a "trans leg" won't change anything.
