What do men who identify with women have in common with all women?

That was specifically garnered to Asmodeus and his line of reasoning. Your approach is much more differentiated.
I think sports is really simple, no emotional approach need, chromosomes are the one defining factor.
As long as the application of your arguments apply to the playing field we don't disagree.
But once they leave it, sociology and psychology can not be dismissed in the intent to find solutions to the apparent problems.
In reality the problems aren't even the crimes committed as they are regulated already, it's the loopholes in the social dynamics that lets perverts have their time.

Really...?
Want to make a bet that the list of commonalities are longer than the difference... We're talking about humans doesn't matter what you think you are.
It matters on what you want to focuse... Differences or commonality.
we can always make one diffrence, among a sea of commonalities, an insurmontable one if we choose to.
but for now the only insurmountable diffrence I undoubtedly see, smell and feel, is the reproductive tract.
everything else are ideas and concepts in the head.
If we don't go to the women are so special and vulnerable and need protection by default we dont disagree.
women are not special not anymore then man. Theyre just humans. Fears and hopes...

Did I get a little emotional there... Sure did... Sometimes I enjoy being crass, but forget the emotions I might trigger in others. That was indeed a little too close to being violent, heck one could even read inciting into it. So my apologies to women in general and boadicea, I wish none of that onto any human, no matter their chromosomes and mental violence.
Did you use the opportunity to slip those victim role slippers on?
I'd rather use the violence I'm prone to, but society forced me to play on the mental violence playing field that # can hurt too. It's funny how quickly we spot it when we're hurt but can brush over an incredible amount, if it doesn't...
Honestly it's the internet, its psychological violence accross the board. Grow a pair, Or cut it off or whatever is the bravery of the day...

In case you missed, I haven't adressed you.
Your opinion is interesting although a little shortsighted, but still just your opinion.
Thanks for interjecting it.

That's your argument, kiddo....
Sexual reproduction is the only place a binary setup is necessary for nature to work.
Your argument is reducing humans to sexual reproduction... It's your logic.
You agree its faulty! That's a good step in the right direction, not all your conclusions are faulty but the logic you base them on is... Thanks for noticing...

As we said a few times in the past it is you who gets emotional and anxious over a matter which is quite straight forward and not even subject to a debate. Transwomen are men and therefore they should not be taking part in female competitions. The story above clearly shows what happens when you include men in female sports. They shouldn't have done in the first place. Moreover they should have never recognised that transwomen exist (in terms of the law). There is no such thing as trans, this is a delusion that has affected a tiny part of the population.and society must deal with this condition rather trying to affirm someone's delusions.

Binary thinking is the base of every conflict... The inevitable evolution of every binary system is either mutual annihilation or a synthesis...
Dualism is a very fundamental philosophical concept that when transcended gives one a much broader understanding. Most never reach those fundamental principles of reality and manage to transcend them.
Annihilation or synthesis, what will it be?

You go tell mother nature that.
Sexual reproduction is a very, very old binary. It has been around longer than the dinosaurs, and things in evolution don't change if they aren't broke. That's why sharks are still swimming around with the same basic body plans and mechanics too. If they aren't broke, nature doesn't tend to fix 'em.
If sexual reproduction wasn't working, the binary wasn't working, it wouldn't still be evident in the natural system. It would have been selected against. That it hasn't is a strong counter-argument.
Of course you are arguing philosophy against nature. Philosophy is entirely mental and human created. Sexual reproduction is in our genes, hard-coded, despite what we might prefer to want to think about it.
