I appreciate your engagement with my blog and understand the emotional depth of this topic. However, it appears there may be some misunderstandings regarding my intentions and the content of the article.

Misconception About Winning: At no point did I suggest that trans women should not win in sports. My emphasis has always been on a balanced approach that allows for fair competition, underpinned by scientific understanding. The blog advocates for policies that enable trans athletes to compete, not to prevent them from winning.

Misinterpretation of Biological Discussion: The statement about not being able to "just switch over by proclaiming your gender" was indeed part of a larger context. The full text is as follows "So you cannot just switch over by proclaiming your gender (As some people believe is what is happening). You have to undergo hormonal therapy as stipulated to participate.". This was aimed at explaining the current regulatory framework around hormone therapy in sports, not to diminish the transgender experience or identity. The intent was to highlight the complexities involved in the transition process and the need for nuanced understanding, not to propagate harmful stereotypes.

Regarding Transition Process Knowledge: Your point about the transition process, its domains, and barriers is well taken. While the blog may not delve deeply into every aspect of the transition process, it acknowledges the complexity and diversity of experiences within the transgender community. The use of terms like 'MTF' and 'FTM' was in the context of discussing biological differences relevant to sports performance and not meant to be reductive or dismissive of the broader, more nuanced aspects of gender identity.

Concern About Harmful Impact: It is deeply concerning that my article could be interpreted as contributing to distress or negative feelings. The last thing I want is for my words to add to the struggle of an already marginalized community. This blog is meant to be a platform for discussion, not a source of pain or a tool for silencing voices.

Focus on Inclusivity and Understanding: The overarching goal of my blog is to promote informed, respectful, and inclusive dialogue. It is crucial that we all continue to learn, understand, and support each other, especially in areas where our experiences and expertise may be limited.

Open to Correction and Dialogue: I am open to feedback and correction. If there are aspects I have missed or misunderstood, I welcome further discussion. It's through such open and respectful exchanges that we can hope to progress towards a more inclusive and understanding society.

I hope this clarifies my position and the intentions behind the blog. Your perspective is invaluable, and I remain committed to a dialogue that is both informative and sensitive to the experiences and challenges of the transgender community.
