so she's a woman enough to be required to wear a women's swimsuit, but not woman enough to be allowed to swim in the women's competitions?
Discrimination isn't logical. They can't logic their way into it.
they might try to rationalize their discrimination, and they might attempt to make it logical for application in law and other contexts - it's important to show the irrationality, not because I expect the bigotry and discrimination to be rational, but because so many others might think it is rationally defensible and not see the contradictions. Not that hypocrisy dunking is always effective, but it's at least worth pointing out.
Exactly they sell it as rational and so we resist by showing its irrationality. They try to make us look crazy because it's an effective tactic. Similarly, making them look ridiculous and like they're annoyingly concerned with other how people live our lives works
