Moreover, this is not just an abstract, academic discussion. For example, two years ago World Rugby issued a ban on transgender women from competing in women's rugby. Why? Because, even after testosterone reduction injections, they still have the physical body of a man, and especially in an aggressive contact sport like rugby that poses a significant danger to other female players. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/53476972

Also, am I the only one who finds it really grating when people (principally but not exclusively Americans) talk about "my truth"? Apparently, searching for the truth no longer matters, it is my truth (along with one's "lived experience", of course) that ultimately counts.

Along with race denialism and gender denialism, I should also add language denialism. This is the idea that one can be part of a nation without speaking its language(s). This is an argument made especially often by arrogant and disrespectful English-speaking ex-pats when they settle in other countries, though they aren't alone in this.
