However, the issue of trans rights is far more complicated than pro-trans rights (and on the whole, I probably would refer to myself as one) people would like to pretend. Extreme examples such a sports, prison, and to a much lesser extent, bathrooms, aren't straightforward.
The sport dilemma in particular cannot be understated, and I feel the trans-rights group is doing themselves a disservice by using this a a hill to die on. It's taking away from the actual hardships transgenders deal with (bullying, abuse, harm, etc...). You gotta select your battles. There are very real arguments as to why trans-women shouldn't be competing with women. To deny that would be lunacy. The other reason I wouldn't even focus on that if I were them is that for the time being, it's not a big deal. It's nothing common, yet. Pick your battles and have your priorities straight. I understand everything isn't mutually exclusive, but this seems to be taking away too much attention.

We should all value what he has to say - he being the scholar who invokes the Italy example on coronavirus but can't be bothered to read an article about it, and he who says Trump has mishandled the crisis without even knowing that the Democratic governor of New York recently complimented Trump for handling it well.
I think I'll step away from the deeply unpleasant topic of "transgenderism" and just re-post two articles on the coronavirus topic in the hope that this "scholar" can somehow be brought up to speed on basic facts:
