NCAA Announces New Policy: Males with Trans Gender Identity No Longer Allowed in Women's Competition

Little MAGA snowflake fake victims — afraid of everything. Sad…

downvote me all you want. you either ran/competed against trans in HS or college, or not.

if you never did, then spare me the hyperbole of Dear Leader "protecting you."

Dear Leader lost a defamation case about whether he raped a woman. Dear Leader tried to hide an affair behind his wife's back with a NDA. Dear Leader is so fun to live with he marries foreign women who barely speak the language. Dear Leader mocks women he doesn't think are pretty. Dear Leader rolled back abortion. Dear Leader will challenge Biden's cutesy theory ERA got passed. Dear Leader has likely instructed DOJ and EEOC to focus more on protecting white men from reverse discrimination conspiracy theories than do anything about how you get treated.

last, if you had any empathy whatsoever, you would give at least Some Semblance of a Crap where trans runners end up for sports. if not in your race, that they land someplace and perhaps less insulting than the option to line up in the men's field when they wear a dress all day.

SJSU trans player was a senior.

the former RIT runner was shopping for a 5th year team last we heard, so that wasn't a threat either.

so "women's" is gender specific, but "men's" is not. how delightfully sexist of you.

you pretend you are also "manning this border" but then it's ok for women to play men's baseball and football, even if your school offers softball.

this is really about a pretense of complete female weakness which was negated the day a girl baseball player made brown's team or a woman kicked for vandy. because you aren't really policing gender both ways.

NCAA happily had their finger over the submit changes button for a long time, just waiting and waiting. Baha!!!

JK Rowling:

This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous.

Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids.

Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities and even the police. Its activists have threatened and enacted violence on those who've dared oppose it. People have been defamed and discriminated against for questioning it. Jobs have been lost and lives have been ruined, all for the crime of knowing that sex is real and matters.

When the smoke clears, it will be only too evident that this was never about a so-called vulnerable minority, notwithstanding the fact that some very vulnerable people have been harmed. The power dynamics underpinning our society have been reinforced, not dismantled. The loudest voices throughout this entire fiasco have been people insulated from consequences by their wealth and/or status. They aren't likely to find themselves locked in a prison cell with a 6'4" rapist who's decided his name's now Dolores. They don't need state-funded rape crisis centres, nor do they ever frequent high street changing rooms. They simper from talk show sofas about those nasty far-right bigots who don't want penises swinging around the girls' showers, secure in the knowledge that their private pool remains the safe place it always was.

Those who've benefited most from gender identity ideology are men, both trans-identified and not. Some have been rewarded for having a cross-dressing kink by access to all spaces previously reserved for women. Others have parlayed their delicious new victim status into an excuse to threaten, assault and harass women. Non-trans-identified leftybros have found a magnificent platform from which to display their own impeccably progressive credentials, by jeering and sneering at the needs of women and girls, all while patting themselves on the back for giving away rights that aren't theirs.

The actual victims in this mess have been women and children, especially the most vulnerable, gay people who've resisted the movement and paid a horrible price, and regular people working in environments where one misplaced pronoun could see you vilified or constructively dismissed. Do not tell me this is about a tiny minority. This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you'll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness and never believed it for a second.

Replace that with , say..."were you ever assaulted"?

...laws are not unnecessary simply because it hasn't affected you.

Not sure if serious??

he has created a mess, per usual.

(1) "sex assigned at birth" is kind of funny from Mr. Birther. you mean the guy who would never believe Obama's birth certificate now believes in birth certificates?

(2) if you are familiar with some of the intersex issues, "sex at birth" can sometimes get awkward. someone gets a scan done age 20 and finds out they have undescended opposite sex parts. someone has an endocrine issue.

Not sure if logic is inherent or can be 'learned', I have a view it is inherent, so tough luck to you.

Anyway...does anyone 'really' need to explain to you that males are physically/athletically superior, in other words if you see the male division as the 'open' division, the female division was created to give them fair competition.

Female divisions are not required where it is accepted/deemed that the sexes are equal in potential, or impossible to prove otherwise.

he protects women about as well as the palestinians who were dumb enough to vote for him.

2 years ago NCAA said they had 230,000 women playing all sports all divisions. recently NCAA said there might be 10 trans athletes in that pile. my point is for 99.99% of girl athletes they aren't ever seeing anyone like this. it's an exaggerated concern.

since you want to throw around fake "logic" arguments, if maybe 2 women out of these trans girls in all sports in all division won NCAA titles over roughly a decade, is it accurate to pretend they "dominate" women's sports.

furthermore, since you want to make snide snippy little "logic" theories, how about integrating the FACT the trans people mostly came across and didn't win, into your sexist assumption it's "obvious" women must be worse.

we had a girl in our top division boys select league when i was a kid. she wasn't the worst player on the field. ditto some of the all-conference type women at my college vs. the worst benchwarmers on our soccer team. that is not as "obvious" as you suggest.

now, the better track athletes and soccer players, yes. but that means this is case by case.

Women SHOULD be thankful...... And here's why.

If any MAGA male were to transgender and be allowed to compete in the Olympics like the liberals want... The Transgendered MAGA male could be a one woman team and win every Olympic event on their own. A transgendered MAGA male could most likely take on a WNBA team one on five and beat them. Same with the women's US soccer team.

Now we all KNOW that a MAGA male would never transgender... and that your typical soy boy trans can barely beat the women as it is.

But think of what DJT saved us from if a MAGA male were to ever do such a thing.

Thank you President Trump and thank you MAGA males for not being willing to destroy women's sports with your prowess.

There is no such thing as "sex assigned at birth" anymore than you are assigned two arms and two legs at birth. You are born male or female

i think your fake little logic arguments are actually insulting to women. there are clearly plenty of women's players and teams better than the trans girl from SJSU because her team didn't win conference or make the tournament.

there are also usually d1 women who could beat the worst d1 men or quite a few d3 kids.

It almost gets us where we need to be, but the “assigned at birth” language is still problematic language. That still means we are categorizing on sort of a gendered view and not sex. It also opens the door to shenanigans if there’s an error on the birth certificate, etc.

It needs to be Y chromosome is men’s/boy’s division and XX is women’s/girl’s period. We force kids and athletes to have physicals and other requirements - there is no reason a chromosome test can’t be required and we can pass legislation to help fund it if needed. Or, we can require it if on some standard it’s called into question and it’s not obvious whether a given person has a Y chromosome or not.

that sounds all "adam and eve" smug clever but you will read stories where x athlete has female exterior parts, is written down as female on their birth certificate -- particularly in less modern countries -- and then age 15 or even later, they get some test done and find boy parts in there also.

as i said 20 times when y'all wanted to point at birth certificates, it's more complicated than that.

eg, semenya probably has a female birth certificate, if i remember right. does that bring some light to the darkness here?

y'all are so superficial and underinformed on this you are just going to recreate the wheels of rules and trip over every hurdle out there that world sports bodies have already wrestled with.

have fun.

So if I have this correct, Caster Semenya, Christine Mboma and Imane Khelif would have all remained eligible for women's NCAA teams?
