I came across this post on Reddit, in the community r/AskFeminists, which asks, "What misogyny have you experienced in leftist or progressive spaces?"

I replied, "Misogyny I've observed among leftists/progressives, is all the catering and pandering to biological males who identify as females. There are now problems in females' sports with biological females being easily dominated, and sometimes even severely maimed, by their "transgender" opponents. No matter what hormone treatments or surgeries someone undergoes, their chromosomes and other parts of genetics cannot and will not change, including those genetic traits which give them an unfair advantage over someone else.
Imagine a girl training in track and field, or whatever other sport, her whole life and becoming eligible for a college scholarship, only to lose her chance at that scholarship because of a biological boy (in other words, someone with unfair biological advantages) being allowed to compete against the girls. Or a biological woman becoming successful and reaching a high position in a male-dominated field, only for a "transgender" to receive the praise and recognition she earned. Odds are that "transgender" was never doubted or criticized for being a woman entering a male-dominated field.
And, if you point out the fact that "transgender female" athletes will always have unfair advantages over biological females, chromosomes and genetics will never change, etc., you get called an ignorant transphobe, or verbally (sometimes even physically) attacked by leftists/progressives in other ways.”
And I got a reply from the mod-team, “All top level comments, in any thread, must be given by feminists and must reflect a feminist perspective. Please refrain from posting further direct answers here - comment removed. We have zero tolerance for transphobia here.”
Ugh...as has been stated before, truth is the new hate speech!
