Look at all the brainwashed college students defending madness here it’s insane. If you think that men should be able to compete against women then you don’t have children. You’ve never seen a group of five year old boys demolish an equivalently skilled group of seven year old girls in a soccer pickup game. It is a cruelty to women to allow men to compete against them in serious competition. The brojos are speaking truth through satire. Unfortunately the average audience of letsrun is college aged woke kids.
You can believe that we need to protect the female category in sport while also not misgendering and being a general a$hole to trans people. I know you’re too thick to comprehend this, but we don’t hate you because we think trans athletes should be able to compete wherever they want. We hate you because you’re a bad person
We get it, you're an angry hateful person and just want a socially acceptable way to express your anger in a socially acceptable and in such a way that puts you as the (in your eyes) as the "morally superior" person. I don't believe you actually care about trans people, just that you want a self-righteous reason to trash someone else.
All I am saying is that gender is not a social construct, a woman is defined by her chromosomes & her genitalia.
But apparently all of reality is dust, biology, science, truth, all of this supposed to be thrown out the window because of a mental disorder know as gender dysphoria as described by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), a manual published by the American Psychiatric Association.
This is a HUGE fight in America right now and the side that wants to play fantasy and make believe is in for a rude awakening.
States every single day are passing laws to protect their citizens from this total progressive nonsense.
Once again the brojos sling some baseless sht and then fail to have to courage to defend it.
I'll defend it. I very much wanted to make one thing clear in the article.
A trans woman is not a biological female and I think elite sports should be for biological females. That's it.
I thought the most obvious way to do that was to point out that trans women are born with penises, will never have a period and will never give birth. That last sentence is a fact. If it makes you uncomfortable or if it upsets you, then that's on you as all I'm doing is pointing out a scientific fact. A trans woman isn't a biological female and female isn't just a 10-12% weaker version of a man. THE END.
No. That’s not what you said. If you had said that, then you would have said that.
What you did was write a very poorly written (because you cannot write) and unfunny “op ed” (btw when have you ever published anything not on your own website) that bashes transgender people.
you did not simply point out a scientific fact. You went out of your way to insult people

Do you think making the point is worth the backlash? Not being critical, genuine question

Satire is meant to disturb. At this point, the trans movement is completely out of control. The President, half of Congress, and Disney are actively opposing a Florida bill that requires teachers to seek parental permission to talk and read books about, among other things, genitalia and (trans- and same-)sexual urges to children between 5-8 years old. The fact that any teachers want to speak about it in the first place to these kids is what is REALLY messed up. They're openly lying when they call it the "Don't Say Gay" Bill; the bill doesn't include the word "gay" once.
What you got wrong is that transgender people need to be treated with respect. They are an oppressed minority and this type of callous joking is piling on and making it harder for them to gain the respect they deserve.
Think about how much respect they would get if they just wanted to live like or as the opposite gender, just like you are a women and I am a man. Just that....no special privileges that others don't get, and competing against (bullying in fact) biological females is not respectful nor worthy of it.
I wonder who is respecting the right of people to be what they want to be. Certainly not this woke brigade who feign fake support without any sense.
And this comes from someone who is as liberal as they come, and has both physically and organisationally fought a racist regime. Wonder what this woke generation has ever done away from the keyboard?

Serious question, sorry if you've answered it elsewhere, but not going through pages of woke ranting.
What 'is' the scientific fact? Please provide references and not opinion
The mere fact that so many people who agree with the stance that individuals born biologically male should not compete in women’s athletics are still skewering this weak attempt at a joke article should let you know how badly you butchered making your point.

100% this. This is the point the brojos are too cowardly to address.

How do you know that this is not what they wanted? Maybe they wanted to troll the hell out of this place just because they can. Of course the Brojos probably don’t care THAT much about this issue but they also probably are not going around mocking transgendered people. Trolling trolling trolling…I can guarantee you that the US is not ready for a transgendered President. Why not? Figure it out. It is NOT the norm and it will take time for people to accept this.

"It is NOT the norm..."
ok pops
The US apparently isn't even ready for a woman president yet. Would you consider that as proof that women are 'NOT the norm'
Do realize what a fist shaking geezer you sound like?

The difference is I am smarter than you. A woman received the most votes in the 2016 Presidential election. You are not very bright as evidenced by your reply.
Your post doesn't refute anything I've said, in fact it just confirms it. So you predictably sidestep the entire topic of this thread and present yet ANOTHER strawman.
Almost no one in this thread is arguing that people born biological males don't have an advantage. There have been nearly 200 posts in this thread and 100 downvotes on your initial post.....yet almost NO ONE is claiming what you seem to be responding to. You keep responding to an imaginary horde of posters that think Lia Thomas should be able to compete against females. Read the thread. Are even 1% of the posts advocating for this? If not, why is this the point you guys keep responding to?
the reason you are being downvoted into oblivion on your own site isn't because peeple on LRC think males should be allowed to compete against females. Very few people are arguing for this.
You are being downvoted for your disgusting transphobic attitude presented on your site.
Maybe try addressing that in your response next time , rather than inventing yet another strawman to joust against. What's the point of that?
What people are responding negatively to on LRC is not your stance against transgender biological males competing against women, but your disgusting obsession with and tone taken toward transgenders on this site. Your article was an embarrassment to this site.
If very few people think trans women should be allowed to compete against females can you answer a few questions: Did Lia Thomas just win an NCAA championship or not?
Were here teammates encouraged not to speak out if they felt she shouldn’t be allowed to compete?
Do I need to connect the dots….
She just won an NCAA title. It’s clear the NCAA and her school felt she should be able to compete. I don’t know the number of people who think she should be allowed to compete but they are powerful enough they it happened.
The majority of LetsRun may think she shouldn’t compete but clearly those in power in the NCAA weren’t worried about it .
I am on the side of transgender acceptance. But let us be honest. Nobody would prefer that their child be born as one gender and then prefer to switch. Honesty matters.

Okay, but is this what your April Fool’s “op Ed” said? If you wanted to write an op Ed saying THAT, then why didn’t you?
