Trans activists in uproar

Sky News reports:

China hosts world's first half-marathon race between humans and robots.

Some 21 humanoid robots raced alongside thousands of runners around the 21km (13-mile) course in Beijing on Saturday.

But trans activists are in uproar.

How can trans women (i.e. men) beat robots if they are allowed to compete in womens sports?

A spokesperson explained:

Machines identifying as robots must not be allowed to compete against trans women otherwise trans women will never win anything when competing against biological women.

Interesting?
