tag yourself, i'm "erotic specialists"
ALT One of the most striking aspects of gender in cuneiform cultures is the very number of different terms apparently denoting non-binary identities. These include but are not limited to kur-ĝara / kurgarrû, assinnu, saĝ-ursaĝ, gala / kalû, pilipili and kulu’u. However, this list quickly pales in comparison with the abundance of words that have been used to describe one or more of these groups in contemporary scholarship: “homosexual,” “cross dresser,” “bisexuals,” “transvestites,” “hermaphrodite,” “eunuch,” “male cult prostitute,” “effeminate,” catamite,” “berdache,” “corybants,” “man-woman,” “castrated choirboy,” “impotent creatures,” “erotic specialists,” “sexually abnormal creature,” “a sexless, probably self-castrated, being”—and so on

how many times do we have to say this. transphobes don't want trans men in women's sports. they want trans people erased from public life. this isn't a gotcha. this isn't a contradiction. this is how genocide works
If you restrict trans athletes to competing only against the gender they were assigned at birth, don't you just get situations like this instead

i'm gonna get hate for this but i think if you feel that trans people are getting mad at you for "accidental misgendering" you're probably doing it a hell of a lot more often than you think. i don't know anyone who gets *mad* about being misgendered the first time.

yeah it's trivial to have someone check, but it makes for a much better strategic game to be able to a) play phony words b) play words you're not sure about and hope for the best and c) leave phony words on the board because they allow you to score well off of them.
