this is not about purity of the sexes because what is fixing to happen is we do an EO saying trans can't do women's sports, but it won't say girls can't do boy's sports.
why? because you have successfully scared people about the one trans runner in all of d3 running for RIT, who did ok, but who cares if a girl plays d1 or d3 football, or d1 baseball.
inherently sexist, not actually about policing the line.
"x changes everything" is ignorant of how intersex actually appear. some aren't figured out for years if the right tests aren't run.
it's basically the new equivalent of "one drop of blood" we used to do for racial segregation. that people want to abuse blacks. that if you ever had a black ancestor you're black. and therefore can be abused.
so the game is you will go "x" hunting. even if someone has female genitals, was birth certificated female, and never had a clue. why? because it justifies bashing the more obvious ones, and also lets you bash the more hidden freaks if you are bored.
A B.C. family has garnered sympathy online — and international media attention — after sharing what they described as an incident in which a man questioned their nine-year-old daughter's gender during a sporting event.
this shows where anti-trans links up with enforcing traditional femininity even when they are girls. becomes an excuse to demand testing of the butch, tomboys, and others who don't look the part.
You got Y chromosome - you're a male. Otherwise - female.
Tiny bit more than that. If you have any part of a Y chromosome then you shouldn't be competing in the female sports categories. There's a condition called XX male syndrome, or de la Chapelle syndrome, where they present as male but are XX genetically, but with a small part of the Y chromosome attached to one of their Xs. It's also not as simple as calling all intersex people male, but in terms of sports participation, they shouldn't be in the female category if there's any part of a Y chromosome, I would agree with you there.
It’s hilarious when every rando around here offers up their own wishlist definition of who should participate in the female sport category.
Who’s asking you? The sporting world has long been doing fine without your useless input.
another triggered republican thread on this sh*t? give it a rest boys.
sure i can agree it's not fair for women, but what there's like 5 trans women in this country who were born as men in high-level sports? is it really worth this much attention?
they are getting you boys triggered about non-issues while there are actual bad things to worry about. don't fall for it!
At last count there were 9 trans athletes competing across all collegiate levels....
9 out of 520,00 and this is now a national issue.
Meanwhile a non-elected 'employee' has free reign to everything, the market is a turd and inflation continues. Trade wars with long time partners brewing.
Oh yea we are going to annex several sovereign countries...
The distraction is the point when you are invoking a coup.
Anyone can see all these executive orders are a sign of weakness. if Trump had legit power he would get laws passed in the legislature that would be more durable.
he wants to appear he is doing stuff but will never do stuff he says he will do. no way the US takes control of Gaza. a lot of stuff he is trying to push will be stopped by the courts.
Trump lives in a realty TV show. He talks up stuff for ratings and attention.
I think people should have to compete in their biological sex. this shouldn’t be a matter a president gets involved. It should be an issue an issue for sports federations to make the rules. Does the president need to get involved in every issue?
y'all are out of your depth. you thought the genetic XX and XY would mirror your superficial male vs. female argument. you might as well say adam and eve, not adam and steve, that's the level of what you're offering.
even if we set trans aside, there is a stack of kids with genetic wildness, as well as endocrine disorders, or who suffered accidents and the parents decided to raise them in a way. having stumbled into that minefield while trying to misuse science, your crude way out is basically to ban the whole lot of them unless they want to compete as boys, as a cruel way of protecting your core anti-trans arguments. musn't let reality intrude on your pogroms.
sure i can agree it's not fair for women, but what there's like 5 trans women in this country who were born as men in high-level sports? is it really worth this much attention?
Of course this is easy to say when it's not your wife, daughter, sister, niece losing out on a chance to compete because their spot is taken by someone with born with testicles.
It wouldn't matter if it was just one trans woman infiltrating high-level female sports, it's enough to nip it the bud (no pun intended) immediately and it shouldn't have even got this far.
to underline the gender roles thing again, you want tradwifes. and so you invoke title ix for trans issues -- "see, they are intruding on the lives of real women" -- but could care less if a woman is paid less at work.

as i just explained, you then don't care if a girl makes brown's baseball team (when they have softball) which costs a boy a slot.
also, i did the math for this on the SJSU volleyball controversy. maybe 15 girls on 300 teams. 4500 girls. if your kid can't find one of 4499 slots left after the trans girl signed, they had other, bigger problems than trans kids stopping them playing d1. there are 14 other slots that school. there are 299 other teams.
and, for that matter, a starter is not cutting your kid. the last kid on the bench is cutting your kid. at most, the starter creates a domino effect, but your kid still makes the team if they beat out the last domino.
it's fake.
as someone who supports participation trophies to keep young kids excited about their new sport where they may be working through growing pains, i find it amusing y'all now feel entitled to your medals.
for XC, assuming 17 slots, they take 1. explain the other 16 failures to make the team, please. trans kid takes them all?
trans kid is a sprinter. you can't make the relay? that's 4 people. the event? that's 3 people when the meets require that. plus usually some other kids too walking on.
in volleyball, SJSU girl takes one of, say, 15 slots. x300 teams. 4500 kids. 1 of 4500. you couldn't get one of the other 14 slots? you couldn't make one of the other 299 teams?
no one is "squeezing your girl out with their testicles." there is so much other room, on that team, in the division, if your kid didn't make it, you're making excuses. they weren't that good.
more i think about it, this is designed to trick non-sports folks who don't know better, exaggerate the presence, suggest it's being overrun, and then the sports folks who do know better, the appeal is really on more of a culture war level, even though superficially presented as though making some sort of a real sports point. you find trans icky, period.
i say this because on every other aspect of this, you conservatives lecture your kids success is earned, not entitled, no participation trophies; and you know very well that there are a fair amount of d1 spots but it's also a competitive process to get there.
you then nonetheless act like they are everywhere and you're owed something for ads pointed at casual fans or non-sports folks.
i mean, is it "moral" for the morality police pushing this stuff to be dishonest about prevalence or the real impact on kids' success or making teams? jack aka jacqueline cannot possibly take all the roster slots or all the medals. so you're fibbing to people how often it happens or what it does to podia. then pretending you're the moral ones.
related point -- what's moral about not having at least a 3rd division? let's say you don't want trans as girls. it's cruel to tell someone who thinks they are a girl their only chance to compete is as a boy. it is, in the end, exclusionary, as hiltz will be the exception.
that's what you're really doing. you can dress it up with some fake flourish of "but you can go back and compete in the other sex," but we both know how often that happens and that it's fairly insulting to propose to those specific kids.
Tiny bit more than that. If you have any part of a Y chromosome then you shouldn't be competing in the female sports categories. There's a condition called XX male syndrome, or de la Chapelle syndrome, where they present as male but are XX genetically, but with a small part of the Y chromosome attached to one of their Xs.

Yeah, but those people also know more about infectious diseases than CDC and NIH.
World Aquatics and World Athletics are part of the Deep State, which is conspiring against the forgotten men and women. So Seb Coes needs to be prosecuted as the enemy of people.

Of course, this is easy to say when the trans athlete who loses the opportunity to compete is not your daughter's, sister's or niece's best friend in high school.
LOL...This is going to be interesting...Are the LR libs going to agree with this or continue to attack Trump? I don't think they can control themselves so it's attack..attack..attack.
I'm as liberal as they come, and this is probably one of only a handful of things I'll ever side with Trump on. I probably still won't agree with however he goes about it, but MTF athletes absolutely do not belong competing against CIS Females.
In recreational leagues, freshman/jv teams? Sure. Inclusivity has value there. At higher levels of the sport, competitive integrity is far more important than inclusivity, the vast majority of people are already excluded by not being good enough.
