To be fair, they have a problem with trans women in women’s sports. They don’t have a problem with trans men in men’s sports because they can’t imagine a situation where a trans man could possibly compete with “real” men.
It goes along with their idea that women are weak, so women are weak athletes and women’s sports teams are weak. If you accept that, it’s not a big stretch to think that someone who has gone through puberty as a male will have an automatic huge advantage in every women’s sport because their body has male characteristics.
On the other hand to them, the military is the ultimate in manly activities. Anybody other than a pure, manly man will be at a disadvantage in anything military. That includes trans men, trans women and regular women. Right now the focus is on trans people, but I’m sure they’ll want to kick women out of the military too eventually.
So, if you accept that logic, it makes sense that trans women are too weak for the military, but too strong for women’s sports. There’s no contradiction there.
There are fewer trans atheists in college sports than there are kids with measles in Texas. Guess which one they want people to focus on.
Also, what the fuck ever happened to “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”? You cannot tell me in good faith that the <gasp> ‘trans threat*’ is so great a crisis of inequity and unfairness that the right wing really gives a damn about that.
It also goes along with their mentality that trans men are simply poor, defenseless women who have been brainwashed into wanting to become strong, powerful men. And also how trans women must be mentally ill. Because how could anyone not want to be a man? Women who want to be men are understandable but misguided, and men who want to be women are sick and to be both pitied and hated - but especially hated.
You also don’t need to lie about their beliefs. When you do that, it just makes people wonder why you’re lying and why you can’t stick to the truth if your point is so strong.
They have beliefs, and if you don’t understand that you can’t understand them. If you don’t understand them you can’t beat them. Sticking your head in the sand or lying to yourself isn’t going to help.

Who are you being fair to?
Not to any particular person, just fair to the truth of the situation. You know, not whacking at straw men.
The truth of the situation is that fascists have no consistency of morality or logic. You don’t need to help them.
You also don’t need to lie about their beliefs. When you do that, it just makes people wonder why you’re lying and why you can’t stick to the truth if your point is so strong.
They have no beliefs. That’s the core characteristic of fascism. Their beliefs change after a millisecond if the strongman says so.
They have beliefs, and if you don’t understand that you can’t understand them. If you don’t understand them you can’t beat them. Sticking your head in the sand or lying to yourself isn’t going to help.
