Sorry to be that guy, but wouldn't it make more sense for the playlist to play in upload order?

Dear Noel Plum, I have watched your video on trans women in sports and wish to politely disagree with the entire premise of the video. So, for arguments sake let us assume that transwoman have a slight physical advantage... so what? Let me explain my point with a counterfactual: Image a person would argue the following: "There should be a separate category for black people in the 100m sprint, because they have an unfair physical advantage because the way their mussels are formed." Let us assume for arguments sake there is actually some initial evidence that seems to back this claim. I assume you would be appalled by the idea of a separate group for black people, or at least disagree with it. Why? Because we are used to racism, recognize it for what it is and want to be better people. I feel your video is the trans-equivalent of a 50 minute video on the anatomical differences between black and non-black 100 meter sprinters, interlaced with the question what (if anything) we should do about this... I would argue, as you predicted in the beginning some might, that your video is unintentionally another stick to hit transwoman with. It is easy to say that the blows shouldn't hit hard because they are rational and brought to you politely and backed with evidence. It feels different if it means giving up your sport... or... you could simply choose not transition... I am not giving you a 'plan b' for why transwomen should be included within sporting culture. Why not? Because I don't need a reason why black people can join the 100m sprint, why Dutch people are allowed to participate in iceskating races and why Magnus Carlsen is allowed to play chess with that mastermind of his. Kind regards, Erik van Oosterhout **** It seems you have either disabled the comments or I am an idiot that cannot find the comment button, hence I can only reply be editing my message. I feel that you slightly misjudge my position/argument, or perhaps I haven't explained myself properly. The topic is important to the both of us, and conversations like these quickly derail. Anyhow, I just wanted to stress I do not consider you a bigot in any way shape or form. Enjoy your day.

If anyone is interested i have compiled a playlist of all my videos (across both channels) on the sex/gender and sports issues (trans atheletes, intersex athletes and financing women's sport)
I will put the playlist on my channel page and (TRY!!) to link it here!
