do you know anyone who has transitioned, paulg?

I think that most people who do would not say it's as simple as 'an 8 year old would know what's what'. Transitioning is really hard. And people are people.

I'm not saying that men who transition should be able to compete in women's sport. Just that this is hard all round. And just shouting "you probably this a trans woman [man] is a woman" or "an 8 year old would know what's what" just isn't showing much grace.
