I expect Trump to sign an executive order soon that makes anyone who changes their identity from male to female, and vice-versa, to become reclassified as an illegal alien and eligible for immediate deportation to Gitmo.
Male advantage in sports is present before puberty and is enhanced during and after puberty, and remains even after testosterone suppression. It's very simple: competitive sports participation needs to based on birth sex not gender identity.
Everyone knows an advantage a male has over a female.
The idea has always been about the attempt by the lazy, the fat, the self haters who don’t have the balls to work for anything to eliminate merit, achievement and hard work.
It’s Marxism.
and places like Portland, a city like one comic said is “ a great place just to give up” is where things like this thrive.
Maria José Martínez-Patiño is a former 46,XY female athlete with androgen insensitivity syndrome(AIS) fully eligible to compete in the female category under World Athletics rules.
Why would you forbid her to compete in the women’s category?
PS. This is a serious question, serious answers based on scientific arguments expected.
To all those who have downvoted this post, can you explain why? Do you even know who Maria José Martínez-Patiño is and why would you think that she shouldn’t be allowed to compete in the female category?
Your post is being downvoted because it does not relate to the situation being discussed and people rightfully see it as yet another attempt to muddle the discourse by bringing up a rare condition that the Oregon runner does not have. Why would you even bring it up?
If you want scientific arguments on the fairness of athletes with DSD competing in Women's categories, start a thread for that topic. If you choose to bring it up on a thread about a biological male who does not have a DSD winning a woman's race, you can deal with being downvoted.
Make sure the justice department is aware of this.
Maine just agreed to end biological males participating in women sports.
You got a source and link for your claim? Coz I don't think it's true.
Yesterday, the University of Maine systems announced they will not to allow males who say they have a trans gender identity to compete in women's intercollegiate sports, which Maine colleges and universities would have to do anyways in order to comply with NCAA and NAIA regulations.
The university’s announcement came after the Trump administration alleged that the school system had violated Title IX by allowing trans women to compete in female sports.
But AFAIK, there's been no change in Maine's policy allowing males to compete in girls' sports in high school and middle school - and Maine's policy allowing boys to compete in girls' HS sports is the main source of the bone(r) of contention between the state of Maine and the Trump administration as well as the personal beef and war of words between Maine Governor Janet Mills and Trump himself.
From what I've read and heard, the Maine Principals' Association, Govenor Mills, most of the rest of Mills' administration, and the Democrats in the Maine state legislature, are still holding fast and firm to their position that under Maine's human rights law, male students in middle school and high school who say they have a trans gender identity have the right to compete in girls' sports.
Under Maine's human rights law and the way Maine officials have interpreted it, males in Maine who say they have a trans gender identity have the right to compete in girls' and women's sports in all other arenas outside of school too. As far as I know, Maine state higher education officials have agreed only to bar males with a trans gender identity from women's college sports, which all colleges and universities in the state would have to do anyways per the rules of the NCAA and NAIA.

He brought up that issue because another poster brought up xx chromosomes into the discussion.
So he rightfully saw it as yet another attempt to smear people with DSD or display of total ignorance. Either way, it does not belong in serious discussion.
If MAGA bros want to start a thread about reclassifying sports categories into "XX division" and "XY division", he should start a threat for that topic. In the entire medical history of the United States, chromosomes was never used as the dominant factor to determine human sex.

you get that the track team is the fastest HS girls. the deal is the trans kids are like junior high level boys runners. so the fact that a varsity boy whoops a varsity girl doesn't matter.
you're implying the mile relay anchor boys puts on a dress to win girl's state. doesn't happen.
you're pretending to protect women by insulting precisely how fast good girls are.

they can't decide if it's genes or hormones or the birth certificate. depending what the issue is they move the goalposts where they can't play. it's birth certificate for trans even if they do hormones. it's hormones or genes for intersex.
as someone who lives in the south it reminds of "drop of blood" rules from jim crow. if you either looked black or had an ancestor once upon a time who was black -- even 1/64 -- you're black. because they wanted to bottle black up.
irony being same clowns smacktalk warren saying she's indian for being a small percent so.
political wordgames. boring. pick a standard and stick to it.

they live their whole day as girls. they wear a dress to school. they use girls' bathrooms. they get called girls names. you then want to come in on meet day and say woah wait you are a boy.
we don't strictly separate sexes in sports. girls are actually allowed in boys. girl plays baseball at brown. girl played football kicker for vandy. girl plays defense for a d3 football team.
y'all can't even decide if it's the birth certificate, hormone levels, body parts, or genes that should define which is which. this seems to vary depending who we want to exclude.
we then wander into fairness. the argument goes women playing mens are in over their head and fine. however you assume for fairness comparisons that it's best men vs. best women, which is not how trans tends to work. trans athletes tend to be poor boy jocks. and varsity girls can be pretty quick. so the comparisons don't work how you think.
I expect Trump to sign an executive order soon that makes anyone who changes their identity from male to female, and vice-versa, to become reclassified as an illegal alien and eligible for immediate deportation to Gitmo.
While I don't expect this to happen, I would not be surprised if it did in a year or so. Since day 1, Trump has been tightening the screws on trans folk. Every week, it's something new . . . slowly doling out cruelty.

You actually sound dumber every post you make here and that's gotta be in the thousands by now, so that's quite an accomplishment

plus i have heard about women-competing-as-women but who look tomboy or lesbian getting caught up in this nonsense. you treat this issue as license to harass anyone not wearing pink with blue eyes blone hair and a ponytail. anything other than that is "not female." you'll put together a rule to punt them or you'll make their lives hell.

Two hours ago in post #90, you responded to another poster who asked you,
"Can you explain why you believe a biological male should participate in a female's race?"
By typing out this bit of regressive, sexist bollocks:
"they live their whole day as girls. they wear a dress to school. they use girls' bathrooms. they get called girls names. you then want to come in on meet day and say woah wait you are a boy."
But now you've turned around to whinge hypocritically that because an unfortunate number of people today hew to the same regressive, sexist, superficial standards that you hold and promote - standards that are based on outdated sex stereotypes far more cartoonish and restrictive than even the ones that prevailed 50-60 years ago - "women who look tomboy or lesbian" (in your eyes at least) are getting more side-eye, judgment and harassment than ever before.
It really takes some brass neck - and a total lack of logic and consistency - to make a post asserting that anyone who wears a dress is a girl - and all there is to being a girl is wearing a dress, using the girls' johns and going by "a girl's name" - and then come back just a little while later and make a post lamenting that unless women and girls today are "wearing pink with blue eyes blonde hair and a ponytail," then we're likely to be seen as "not female" and harassed by sexist misogynists who'll make our lives hell.
You know who's made the lives of women and girls hell since the dawn of recorded history? Misogynists spouting sexist bollocks like you.
Only an xx girl or woman can win a girl's or a women's athletic event.
The victory of a girl's or a woman's event is always an xx girl or an xx woman.
No man can ever "win" a women's athletic event, because boys and men are not women.

She should be booed. If a born male wins state that means: A (genetic) girl did not win, a girl did not podium, a girl did not make the final, and a girl did not go. Now OR works different but in most states this would happen.
This is simple middle school biology. The average boy will be significantly faster than the average girl after puberty. Basically the only people who support this are not athletes. I don't think I know a single runner or any other athlete who says this is fair. I even know a trans woman who thinks this is unfair
"She" is inconsistent with everything else in your post.
Calling Ada "she" isn't an endorsement of having transgender girls compete in girls sports, it's about having a basic level of respect for talking about someone, especially a *child* who is playing by the rules as they are written, to compete in a sport that all of us here love and participate in. You can say that Ada shouldn't be allowed to compete in the girls division without being a thoughtless jerk about it.
