Anyone who thinks this is an oxymoronic stance hasn't bothered to understand the argument and shouldn't be entering the ring to argue against them.
If a cis man is strength/endurance/physical capability X, a cis woman is X-1, and a trans woman is X-0.5, there's no contradiction here.
They would still have an unfair advantage in women's sports and still be less capable of physical feats compared to cis men.
Your argument works if they do not allow any women into the military, which I believe is not the case.
You misunderstood my comment if you thought I was making an argument.
I generally haven't kept up with the military since I got out, but women in "combat arms" MOSs were strictly forbidden, like infantry and artillery. Are you asserting that is no longer the case for the US or other militaries?
... that hasn't been the case since Obama's second term.
