So I guess it is not just sports after all.......

The bolded is question begging.

It's true, if (and only if) we accept as axiomatic that a trans woman is NOT female. But that's not an axiom; It's the conclusion you are seeking to defend.

The entire thread is an exercise on illogic. A body that issues awards to women has issued an award to a trans woman. There's no suggestion that they did not know that the woman in question is trans, and so it is clear that in their opinion she, as a trans woman, is qualified to be considered for the award.

If the opinion of the body that issues the awards regarding who is qualified to receive one isn't valid, then who else's opinion is to be allowed to overrule them, and why?

Their awards; Their rules.

Don't like it? Set up your own literary awards for women, and define 'women' so as to exclude trans women from consideration, for the purposes of your awards.

I think I could imagine the sort of works such an award would attract as nominations. Might as well just name it "The TERFie Trophies"

Nah, they already give that one out for excellence in artificial lawns and playing surfaces.

Man, will there be never be any space for women who want to be shitty and exclusionary to other women?

I don't see any women here asking for that...
Do you mean a space for MEN who want to be shitty and exclusionary to other women and give themselves cover by claiming they are doing it on behalf of women?
