Or, if you prefer a method that doesn't involve shutting yourself. Just say you're trans. No need to take hormones, unless you wanna... you're trans non-binary. Bit of nail polish, makeup, gender non-conforming clothes. Easy sell, congratulations, you are no longer eligible to serve in the US military

You started my misrepresenting the science, and medical practices regarding trans people. Then lied more about the position of the "general public". Then you tried to use suicide rates to justify all your bs.

Multiple studies have shown that suicide rates are near average levels for trans people with supportive environments. So if you really wanna help trans people. STOP USING US AS POLITICAL TALKING POINTS. DONT FIRE TEACHERS FOR USING CHILDRENS PREFERED NAMES! JUST BE A DECENT HUMAN AND TREAT TRANS PEOPLE LIKE PEOPLE. STOP JUSTIFYING HATE AGAINST TRANS PEOPLE WITH "SUCIDE RATES" WHILE YOU ARE ACTIVELY MAKING TRANS PEOPLES LIVES WORSE. YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON FOR THE ELEVATED SUCIDE RATE!!!

"Do trans women generally have a physical advantage over women?"

No. Trans women were able to complete in the Olympics beginning in 2004. No trans woman has won an Olympic medal in the woman's category.

There are many studies that compare cis men to cis women and based on that claim trans women have an advantage. Among the studies that actually compare trans women to cis women it is generally found that trans women have no overall advantage.

"Are there any rules for this kind of thing? Do they need to be transitioning or taking suppression drugs?"

The rules and requirements vary by league. At higher levels of competition its generally required to have hormone levels at cis female levels for a prolonged period. Often 6 months or longer. To clarify, getting to those levels roughly takes 2+ years of hormone replacement therapy(hrt). Hrt for trans women generally consist of an anti-androgen, estradiol, and progesterone.

I'm not sure why you assume it's one or the other. My money is on both. Probably has a whole library to choose from...

But, there are many more trans people than attacks on suspected trans people. It really feels like they are bad at identifying trans people

You're not wrong, but there are trans people out there. I'm a trans woman myself and I cross paths with other trans people fairly often in the wild, so to speak. So it is a bit intresting that transphobes fail so hard at clocking us. Granted as a trans person myself I may be better at identifying trans people.

Although most trans people I've met are very self conscious about their appearance. So many of us don't stop using the bathroom of our birth sex until doing so becomes an issue. Usually well meaning people clocking us as our preferred gender and telling us we are in the wrong bathroom, or just making it very clear that our presence confused them. I've heard versions of this story from so many trans people. "This is when I knew it was time to switch bathrooms" is basically trope in trans spaces...

I suspect they keep attacking cis women because cis women feel comfortable using the women's restroom. Even if their appearance is outside the societal norm.

I suspect it includes that as an explanation for her masculine haircut. And to clarify that she is, infact, not trans. Should any of that matter? It clearly did to the people who assaulted her. The inclusion is probably meant to make hateful people think twice in an effort to stem the violence.

The rate of hate crimes does go up when you have a hate monger in office. There was a spike in his last term and there will be this time also.

Weird how these transphobes never seem to find an actual trans person.

Trans rights are human rights! Everyone is harmed by blind hatred..

Noted. I shall continue not sleeping with men, conservative or otherwise.

Truthfully I'm not sure sure you can make it much worse for them. As I understand it conservative single men are already struggling to find dates. Wasn't there some conservative dating app that had basically no women?

Boycotting may actually be our most powerful form of protest right now. The in person protest have often been ignored, or under reported by media. But it's much harder for them to ignore the collapse of tesla.

Of course not! A corporations first responsibly is profit for shareholders. Little things like peoples lives and obeying laws is secondary.

/s isn't really accurate here. Because although im joking. Our legal system seems seems to agree...
