You are an example of how this mental health issue is sustained and celebrated. YOU are a big part of the problem. Everyone knows it. Every girl should not participate and make a stand against it. Their peaceful protest would hurt but someday, maybe their daughters will benefit. Oregon would be the best place for them to do so. Maybe the rest of the country would follow their lead. Except the Island of Misfit Toys known as California. Unfortunately, so many kids, like yourself, have been brainwashed to think this is ok and normal. It is not. This is a mentally sick society. The rest of the world is already standing up to this but not good old USA.
Gender incongruence has been moved out of the “Mental and behavioural disorders” chapter and into the new “Conditions related to sexual health” chapter. This reflects current knowledge that trans-related and gender diverse identities are not conditions of mental ill-health, and that classifying them as such can cause enormous stigma.
We live in times of profound cowardice where people are terrified to state the bleeding obvious.
In twenty or thirty years time, people will look back and this and wonder how this madness was allowed to take hold. I assure you, all the sanctimonious liberals will pretend it was nothing to do with them.
Revise your name. Look at the ratio of down votes to up votes on your post, and then ask yourself “Am I only a thoughts leader in my delusional perceived self image?”
Respect women.
This thread and letsrun in general are filled by transphobic bigots. Downvotes means your right
They literally aren't. This is one division in one state. There are well over 100 state titles per year.
There is nothing barring you from just hating transgender people because you are stuck wearing boy clothes when you want to wear a dress or being upset you can't find a wife with a penis, but to say they are taking over women's sports because there are a couple trans women that do ok each year is not factually accurate.

What celebration? There was a huge blowback against Thomas and rules were changed so that she became ineligible to compete as a pro.
Usually like your stuff..but on this? It's hard for me to even see another side of this, other than advantaged orginally biological boys/men.. romping over women. I am shocked that anyone could edorse this..especially all the "equity" fans.
Terrible argument as usual. Despite having zero testosterone (less than her female competitors), Maria Jose Martinez was a national champion hurdler thanks to her XY phenotype.
So? Having a Y chromosome does mean that you aren't a female.
If your contention is that having a Y chromosome doesn't matter then get rid of sex based divisions. Everyone competes against everyone. Do you think that's fair?
I’ve also come to the conclusion that young men that do this are just incels who are looking to humiliate women.
Remember, the most important term used to be ‘passing’; that people might actually think you were a woman. These losers do not want to pass. They want to humiliate. They are turning themselves into the women that rejected them and then beating them.
Shame on them and shame on anyone that facilitates this.
"Girls need to run with form I deem feminine!" honestly, I'd probably take the arguments more seriously if like 90% of the anti-trans crowd wasn't so openly hostile towards women in general.
Sounds like you are all just pissed you can't be women.

Cowards.
Sounds like you had a huge crush on the Oregon runner girl, this drama outed her and now you’re worried you’ll be picked on for it. Man just follow your heart. Sad reality is she would’ve probably rejected you anyway.
A high school sophomore trying to figure out who they are and what his/her place in this world is.
On one side you could be ranked #950 in the state in your event and barely be in the top 10 on your own team.
Or...you could be the State Champion in your event and have half the country praise your courage and ability.
Except, one side never cared about Oregon High School track and still doesn’t. The other side has apparently cared about OR track more than anything else in their entire life and now it’s been ruined for them forever because it turns out the athlete they are obsessed with probably has a penis.

That’s what the likes of you wished for with gays but now they are laughing at your impuissant faces while kissing their love in public.

"Phenotype" is the sex characteristics you can observe from outside. And Martinez Patino has a typical female phenotype.
What you tried to mean is karyotype (one's pattern of chromosome).
Martinez Patino's phenotype did not give her any advantage, as she was a 13.78 hurdler. That's rather mediocre for a "national champion" even by the 1980s standard. And her karyotype did not affect her performance level.

Good on them.
More importantly, they don’t weasel into women’s spaces and sports like degenerate creeps, supported by slogan spouting morons like you.

Sex based divisions are based on the material androgenizing effect of testosterone on one's body. Martinez Patino's body did not become androgenized because she was androgen insensitive.
There is no scientific evidence that Y chromosome itself has any meaningful effect on athletic performance independent of masculinization of body.

How do you know that?
She didn’t have “zero testosterone”, rather her body was just unable to use it.
