That, in turn, is part of a broader argument: should brute biological facts sometimes override people’s deeply held feelings about their identities?
其实,这一争议不过是冰山一角,背后还有更广泛的讨论:某些情况下,绝对生理性别是否应该比人们根深蒂固的自我性别认同更重要?
Sports must therefore choose between inclusion and fairness; and they should choose fair play.
因此体育必须在包容性和公平性中做出取舍——这个天平理应偏向公平。
Sport is public, and results can be measured objectively. That means the argument that the material facts of biology should sometimes outrank a person’s subjective sense of identity is easier to make. But it applies in other areas, too.
体育是公开透明的,成绩是可以客观衡量的。那么自然而然,“生物学上的重要事实有时应比个人主观认同感更重要”这类观点的提出就很中肯。但这一观点也适用于其他领域。
Some of these arguments will be touted or twisted by those who wish trans people ill. Such bigotry exists, as a Republican bill in Florida to restrict “instruction” in schools about gender identity or sexual orientation makes plain. That should be resisted, too. Most of the time, it costs little or nothing to respect people’s choices about how they wish to present themselves. In the rare cases where rights clash, society must weigh the trade-offs sensitively and with open eyes.
但因为社会上有人歧视厌恶跨性别人士,可能会因此过度吹捧或曲解以上一些论点。这种歧视确实存在,像佛罗里达州就有项共和党法案,禁止学校进行性取向和性别认同等教育。这类做法也应遭到抵制。多数时候,对于他人选择如何呈现自己,我们“尊重祝福”就好,几乎无需其他。而在出现权利冲突的少数情况下,社会必须谨慎清醒地权
