Biological male 5th at Maine XC festival of champions in the seeded girls' category

It's the threat to the sanctity of 40+ years of progress in women's sports that is scary... not this particular person.

Good attempt at choosing a video of a white, blonde, effeminate, "non-threatening" trans athlete though.

And, for people that do have daughters that compete, like myself, it is an issue.

I'm glad it doesn't impact you. Since it doesn't impact you, you can kindly butt out.

I'm convinced that if Republicans didn't spend so much time demonizing those who don't fit their ideal gender profile, this kind of stuff wouldn't happen, because there wouldn't be such a reactionary push to create safe spaces for nontraditional individuals.

I'm pretty liberal, and will likely never again vote Republican, but it's still ridiculous to say "Democrats ruin women's sports" when there are tons of Democrats, maybe even the vast majority (me included), who think this result is nonsense. But overinclusiveness from the left is a pretty obvious and expected reaction to the demonization from the right; there would be way less polarization on most (all) issues if either side could convince its zealots to moderate their stances.

Is this you still "not caring"

You appear to care a great deal.

At an Olympic level or even D1 scholarship level they can set whatever standard they want. Its like a free market (not sure if you've ever heard of it). Olympic committee or NCAA can decide. Just like if a race wants to add a binary division that's up to them, just like it's up to other races not to add one if they don't want. I think the rules for D3 college/high school athletics should be more inclusive, and if I had kids that were affected that's probably what I'd advocate for, but I don't live in Maine and my kid graduated so don't care.

Do still care about you wannabe N@zis targeting minority groups just trying to live their lives though so I stupidly feel an obligation to stand up and say you're horrible.

While it's true that I'd be getting spanked (metaphorically speaking) by the top boys, I would have the best shot to run my absolute best race as I'd be racing a bunch of others all around me (while in the girls' race I'd be all alone). Also, as much as I would be wanting to beat the boys, I would know that they wouldn't want to be beaten by me (a la Jared Ward). And, yes, I would be "beating up" on 150 little boys in the seeded race, and have a faster time than any guy in any of the other races.

How exactly is "the sanctity of 40+ years of progress in women's sports" threatened if that girl is allowed to play field hockey?

Doubt your daughters have been affected at all if they even exist. But if they do you probably ask the math dept at their school if you can sit in on a remedial stats unit so you can understand how small this issue is and how exponentially more harm you do to the transgender kids than you are protecting other women athletes.

There’s about a 99% chance that neither you and daughter will ever see a transgender female at any of her meets. That’s, of course, if you even have a daughter that competes in running.

I agree with you. However, your fist statement applies to the extreme left as much as it applies to the extreme right. The far left routinely demonizes those who don't fit their ideals. In fact people are demonized here for simply asking for fairness in women's sports.

Yet another scary trans athlete.

I care about demagogues using the same techniques used to vilify Jews in 1930's Germany to vilify little children to further the destruction of democracy.

Repubs tried to demonize homosexuals for decades, lost that cultural war

Then targeted gay marriage, lost there too

Continually going after smaller more marginalized groups to perpetuate a cultural war.

These aren't political operatives trying to ruin women's sports. They are kids wanting to feel like they belong. Y'all need to find you some Jesus.

What happened to the two California trans girls who were bullied out of the State final last year? Are they competing in XC?

But it's not just about you, see. That's kinda the bigger problem here. If you want to "beat up on the (slower) guys", go run a local 5k.

Why would I lie? I do have a daughter that runs. Having a daughter that runs isn't rare.

It's inherently unfair for a biological male to compete against biological females. If it's as rare as you claim, why should my daughter and every other biological female be forced to start every competition at a disadvantage, to preserve the feelings of one individual?

It's basically saying to the biological females, you don't matter. The only thing that matters is that this one individual gets special treatment.

It's nonsense.
