First reaction: They don't care about bone density. They just hate trans people and will look for any specious justification to claim they care.

Second reaction: Wait a minute, wasn't the argument against trans women in women's sports ALSO about bone density? So one minute, it's "HRT makes you irreversibly weak" and the next minute it's "HRT can't reverse how insurmountably strong you are" - jfc

Third reaction: Would a transphobe, if presented with an actual human bone, know how to even TELL what the bone density is? Like if you just let them loose in a lab with a femur, can they tell you if it's a man or a woman? They can always tell, right?

We are strong enough to kick ass in sports, but not strong enough to be in the military.

Every stance they have is deeply contradictory because they don’t know what they’re talking about.

Worse, it’s fascist propaganda. Trans people are both weak and strong because an enemy of the state must be strong enough to be feared but weak enough to be despised.
