? I was confused by your statement "separate but equal is not ethical" because it's what we already do in sports, so I wanted to ask about it. I already stated that I don't think a separate league for trans people is a good idea, if that's why you are refusing to answer me.
Why is it unethical to separate sports leagues by race
Because segregation is historically driven by racist motivations such as attempting to prevent different races from interacting.
Why is it ethical to separate sports leagues by gender?
You tell me
I believe it is self evident, while you are the one claiming that separate but equal is not ethical, which is in contradiction to this.
What is self evident
That separating leagues by gender is ethical
When I say separate but equal is unethical I am referring to trans people being treated as separate from their gender, which they are not
Ah! This entire time I thought it meant separate but equal leagues in sport being unethical.
That makes much more sense now
It is very difficult in these times to tell when someone is asking questions in good faith. I'm glad we were able to clear things up.
Yes thanks for sticking with me
