I encourage anybody following this discussion to read this entire post and the linked article. It was an eye opener to me, a Christian conservative. I believe the linked article is scientifically honest, and that accepting that does not at all challenge or weaken my faith, nor does it change my opinion regarding people with certain genetic anomalies not being allowed to dominate and destroy sports for cis-females.
There was a thread a few weeks ago that was taken down that was discussing this subject. Hoonose posted the link to an article that got my attention. Here is the link to that article: https://www.thetech.org/ask-a-geneti...s/2010/ask352/
I was disappointed when I saw that the thread had been removed, because I wanted it for future reference, especially the article, and also because I felt that my post was insightful (not inciteful). Fortunately - I discovered that I had the thread still open on my iPhone to that page and that the screen had not been refreshed (if it had, I *would* have gotten the notice that I did not have access to the thread) - so I quickly set about doing screen captures, which are what you see posted below.
*** To moderators: I am confident that nothing shown below from that thread was the reason that it was taken down, so I would appreciate it if this post can remain, as I think it is important to this current discussion. Thank you. ***
Please read my post (quoted in Hoonose's second post, below) before judging me either way on this. We can disagree from either "side" of the political spectrum, but I think my bottom-line conclusions are Biblically and politically sound, consistent, and defendable.
