Well I gave it a go, but the very first argument was a straw man, so I didn't have the energy to filter through 30 minutes of biased, disingenuous and amateurish documentary. If you could give me some readable sources, from credible sources, that would be great. You've made a lot of extraordinary claims in your original comment...

Gonna need a source of two there, chief.

If absolutely is not. 30 years is possible, and _en perpétuité_ (forever) in very rare cases.

Everything _is_ about Israel. They are destroying our species. Ignore what they are doing at your own peril, friend.

"Being really well dressed and using style to win people over is in the fascist playbook as well. Therefore drag queens are fascist."
That's you. That's you right now.

Another nail in the coffin of the Geneva Conventions.
Growing up I always thought the highest laws in the world would be the hardest to break. I felt protected. But these last ten years or so I've seen how toothless they really are, and I feel exposed. Universal Human Rights aren't worth the paper they were written on.

The Celtic languages are closely related to European languages such as Breton, the ancestor languages having been developed and spoken widely in Europe pre-Roman conquest.
I'm only being picky because it adds even more support to your (already very fine) argument. You don't even need that caveat.

Thanks for saying so, I'm glad that the message came across.

The thing is you don't align with the far right. At least I hope you don't anyway. The far right either hate trans people, or they do not give a shit about them either way. They are using trans people as a political football to sow _exactly this type of division_. Yes, trans people in sport is an unresolved problem. No, I do not want the right wing to be the ones to resolve it. If you align superficially, you still don't want to cede to them. Bear in mind "align" only goes as far as saying "we can agree about this one _sentence_", not this whole issue.
Godwin's law is fucked these days so let's just use the third Reich as an analogy. You may agree that Germany has a legitimate territorial claim on Alsace-Lorraine. Does that mean you should let the Nazis take it? No, you fight them and then resolve it when someone more reasonable is asking. The reasons why should be obvious, and so should the analogy. It's not about whether the extremely superficial claim is "correct", it's about why they are saying it and what they plan to do if they get enough people to agree with them.
In this case, where the war is one of ideas, you're not a bigot if you agree in a very superficial way, but it's completely redundant to be talking about trans women in sport when _all_ trans people are being stripped of their rights and it looks like things are getting worse. A year ago we were hoping (again) for the first female president; long overdue. That's not an issue anymore, as women are now being erased from history.

No.
If you fall back in front of the far right they will take that ground and demand more, as they always have done, and as they always will do. It's how they win, it's how they are winning, on trans rights, on immigration, on racial supremacy. Do not give them an inch. It's not "all or nothing" it's "give the bigots nothing".

Your _funds_ are being used so that Ukrainian soldiers can risk their _lives_ defending _your_ border with your biggest enemy.
