And compounding this nonsense, if any of the female athletes spoke up for themselves they would immediately be thrown off the team, dragged before the dean of equity, forced to issue a groveling apology and accused of bigotry. All because they said what everyone knows, that this is a travesty. It is just pure bullying all around.
No, they won't. A woman saying transgender females can have an unfair advantage won't receive any criticism. Countless people have said so and polls show that 60% oppose transgender athletes competiting in women's sports.
The other poster's claim that transgender athletes are treated as heros is nonsense. The vast majority of people are either vehemently opposed or don't care.
But can you say so in today's climate on a college campus?

When one side of an argument is against people who go to/have graduated from college, that should be a clue that it is the dumber side.
I know you are but what am I. :)
Really?

I have no idea. Republicans attend college, too. I really believe that indifference is the best a transgender athlete can hope for. I'm not going to rant about about it, but I do believe Thomas has an unfair advantage.
Thomas is likely to be a one-off. Penn doesn't give athletic scholarships and if she attended Stanford or Cal, she would lose hers if she transgendered .
girls will be boys and boys will be girls its a mixed up mumbled up shook up world, except for LOLA

You appear to be justifying this by burying your head in the sand with the "one off" statement. We have seen many examples, some given in this thread. But also in HS sports where there were several transwomen sprinters that dominated ... New Jersey and Texas comes to mind.
It is very easy to say that "male" and "female" divisions refer to sex, specifically genetic sex. For so long we have used the term "male / female" as short hand tying sex to gender, and now that people want to be other genders, for self serving reasons they are acting as if sporting division of male / female had always meant gender and not sex. The curse of all this is the confusion between sex and gender that has been around for hundreds (thousands) of years.
I don't think this is realistic.

Being indifferent is not justifying it all. Transgender athletes are here to stay, so what's the point in being outraged?
The future of women sports is men.
Thread over.

People on the left are the most evil despicable people in the world. The only way they can live with their extreme immorality is by pretending. They either pretend this is normal or pretend the things they voted for had nothing to do with this outcome. Every thing they claim to love they actually hate. In this case equal rights for women.
Umm,.. I'm a progressive and I don't agree with this.
I don't really understand why none of these women can be found in a maternity ward. Ever.

This guy has never had an independent thought that wasn't shoved down his throat by Ben Shapiro.
Whatta goon.
Hey, as long as the other female swimmers are cool with getting their butts kicked at every competition that this person competes in then that's ok.
If they are not ok, well then.....they will have to address the situation.
What, the bros in this thread don't think female athletes can fight for themselves? Let female athletes challenge this if they've got a problem with transfem athletes competing in their events.

How will they address the the situation? Refusing to compete against a transgender athlete would be self-destructive and wouldn't change anything anyway.
