This is enough Letsrun for me. There are people here who have been brainwashed by years of indoctrination by the left to completely disregard logic, biology, science, and common sense.
It's a brain disorder to follow this ideology and belief system. I feel bad for these people, truly, the left has won I'm sad to say.
This isn't language - we're talking science. If the definition "changed", it should be equivalent to the original definition.
Ignoring the sports thing, this seems like largely a semantics debate. I doubt it has any impact on you beyond that. Your entire beef is we want to call trans women “women” and you want to call them “men in dresses”. Newsflash, you’re not going to be able to freeze society or language in the time frame that makes you most comfortable.
You can cover your eyes and ears and tell yourself this is not how things used to be back in your day but time marches on. Today we recognize that how you present yourself to the world may not match the biology with which you were born and language is evolving to describe this, whether you accept it or not.
Agreed that time marches on. But you seem to have no clue about what happened even in the fairly recent past.
This is how Marc Bolam presented himself to the world in 1973. Nobody called Marc a woman, and no way anyone ever thought he was a woman. No one called him "feminine" or "womanly" either. Bolan was just one of many heterosexual men of my generation who enjoyed dressing up and had fun playing around with how we looked. There were tons of us in rock 'n' roll - and in everyday life - back then.
The reason I want this is because is this an absolute ridiculous travesty. It is totally absurd rule and the only way to get things back on track is by having a completely absurd result.
As long as it's one guy beating girls in swimming, and one guy in track, and one guy in golf it will just be tolerated, it needs to be a complete avalanche and true attack on women's sport before there will be action taken to correct it.
That's like saying "I want more crimes in my neighborhood so that the city government increases its police budget."

Given that transgender females are less than 1% of the population it’s always going to be just a few athletes. It might be several years before there is another trangender athlete as dominate as Lia Thomas competing in the NCAA. In the last 10 years, she is the only one.
If the "Phase Three" policy (that starts in 23-24)survives legal challenges, there won't be another athlete like Thomas.

You’re literally doing what I talked about. 50 years ago we called it a man in a dress and by golly that’s how it should stay. Does it make you sad to know your opinion is falling by the wayside?
Just like "global warming" became "climate change." Just like "illegal immigration" became "undocumented migration." The left always changes definitions so they can re-frame the argument.
Arguments constantly evolve and need to be re-framed. It used to be don’t ask don’t tell and now we have same sex marriage. This is typically how progress works.

I would say I’m pretty/very liberal and I think this is ridiculous. Blaming all libs for a fringe group of far lefts means it’s ok for me to call you a white supremacist because more folks on right who are like that than there are folks on left who think this swimmer winning gold is sane.
I think Thomas tanked it. Cannot say for certain but we saw this previously and I think there was so much blowback from the 500 that Thomas chose not to win or even get on the podium.

No. You do not get to do this.
Fringe far right white supremacists have not taken over the laws and statues of this country any more with blatantly white supremacist laws. They have not taken over the education system and indocrinated children into thinking whites are the master race.
The far left however has done this. Sports leagues are now allowing trans personal to compete against natural women. They are dictating which pronouns we can say. They are allowing men to use female bathrooms (and then covering up assault that occurs in them).
No, you don't get to to stand by and claim "it's not REAL left that supports this, just the fringe group!" This is the platform of the party. You have taken over and shoved this down our throats and done nothing to stop it. Own it!
A Virginia juvenile court judge concluded Monday that a transgender teenager sexually assaulted a female student in a Loudoun County high school in May.

Actually the far right has consistently passed racist laws and tried to rewrite history books. Remember all that lost cause crap? Or Texas description of the slave trade? Why can't you just accept you like supporting racists?
