And those words are not just buzzwords.
Chromosomes likely not relevant.
I believe biology and science are.
If a trans woman had the viewpoint (and I'm not saying I do) that she should not be allowed to compete, or that it is an advantage, would it be OK for her to express it in this group. And just because I posted what I did does not mean I am not an ally.
The kind of dancing I do, contra dancing, welcomes and has many participants everywhere on the gender spectrum, including trans, and everyone is welcomed.
