So you're advocating for the complete abolition of:
* Female-only sports
Honestly, I'm against sports in general - at a high level it's mostly just a dumb competition of genetics in the end, these days training can only bring you to the level your genetics limit you to. And "who won the genetic lottery" is just an awful concept in the end.
* Female-only restrooms
I don't like traditional gender separated restrooms in general, more private gender neutral restrooms are just better, I'm like 10x more comfortable in them compared to male-only ones.
* Female-only locker rooms
Same argument as with restrooms - give more private, secure spaces and that's fine. I will be more comfortable too.
* Female-only political groups
Yes. I don't think it's healthy, just like male-only political groups aren't

You're assuming like I want that these things just disappeared and got replaced with nothing, where in actuality, they can be replaced with better solutions than we have today. The fact that we're doing things by gender roles these days is the limiting factor on how good things can be.

"Physical reality" is a very fun way to define things, because I haven't seen anything defining whether some matter is male or female in physics. The "physical reality" is your own definition, just like everything else, you're just trying to hide behind some "objective" definition to throw labels. Fun exercise: how would "physical reality" define what is a car and what isn't?

"Social reality" comes into stereotyping. You could make (and some people do make) the same arguments about racial minorities. How is this different from racism again?

@ignaloidas @taylan > competition of genetics

at the pro level yes, everyone at that level maxes out their discipline and practice regimen so the only differentiator they can't max is genetics. not for like kids sports tho fwiw

@sun@shitposter.world @taylan@fedi.feministwiki.org Even for kids, genetics plays a big role. I think it's fine if it's not seen as a competition but rather as self-improvement, but the whole system as it is today is honestly over competitive and in a very bad place (see reports from referees over kid sports about how insane parents are with their kids results)
