What part about "no boys in girls sports" do you not understand?

I guess I forgot the classic: "This one random trans person still sucks at sports, therefore we should allow them all in" from my bingo card on the previous page.

Sarah and Gia never went through male puberty

Rojo- you're replying to my thread but my kiltedrunner account has been banned for 'spam' when I was simply replying to my own thread. Just Another Hobby Jogger, your posts may have been removed but at least you weren't banned- perhaps the boards aren't as one dimensionally moderated as you assumed?

Let the trans woman play on your rec league basketball team. Don't let the trans woman play in the WNBA. Where do you draw the line is the real question. My initial gut reaction says that below highschool varsity, go for it. Past that? No. I could be convinced otherwise.

2. Is there ever a social benefit to a girl getting beat by a boy in a girl's race? The girls will become disillusioned and the boy will be deeply resented by classmates and parents.

Interesting, because I've been told many times by some of your woke buddies that child gender transitions "never happen" and than "it's all in my head". Yet, you just personally admitted that these two girls were given drugs to prevent their development when you thought it would benefit your argument. Which is it chief? Sounds like all these things that "never happen" happen a lot.

Children do not undergo full medical transition. Minors experiencing severe psychological distress due to puberty may be prescribed puberty blockers, while cross-sex hormones are only given to adults.

Puberty blockers are largely reversible, while cross-sex hormones have more permanent effects.

This is not correct. Cross-sex hormones are given to minors as young as 14. If they are placed with puberty blocker without cross hormone for more than a few years, their bone health is compromised (because they need hormone for bone growth).

So after a few years of puberty blockers, doctors usually have to decide whether to start cross hormone or stop puberty blocker for their patients.

There are simply so few children in this circumstance for it not to be relevant.

Of course you can find a single example somewhere, I'm sure.

At least 14,726 minors started hormone treatment with a prior gender dysphoria diagnosis from 2017 through 2021, according to the Komodo analysis.

That's out of about 120,000 children who were diagnosed with gender dysphoria during the same period.

Well, if you label biological males not being able to compete in women’s sports as losing then yes you will lose and there will be no compromise and we don’t give a rats ass what you think feel or have to say about it.

Again, yes, a group is losing out in this scenario. You obviously don't care about that, which is your right.

Just Another Hobby Jogger makes so many posts in a row in these threads that one has to wonder if he’s a paid agitator or just completely consumed with being trans above all else. The only poster close to appearing so off-kilter is Armstronglivs who seems to create conflict because it’s the closest he gets to human interaction.

This is the thread topic title. It’s very specific. It has nothing to do with being respectful to trans people.

“Malcolm Gladwell 'ashamed' of being 'cowed' on trans athletes in female sport.”

You seem to want respect without giving any. Rather than admit you were wrong about trans in women’s sports, that it’s not a civil rights issue for gays and trans and that you’re not a victim here, you fought it tooth and nail.

Had Harris won, you’d still be vilifying people.

As Ted Knight said in Caddy shack “You’ll get nothing and like it.”

Take a second to organise your thoughts and try again. You're ranting like Grandpa Simpson

Hahaha you can’t “lose out” on something you have no business being included in.

Any person from any group can say that they want a part of something or to be included or something, and you think that it’s “losing out” if they’re denied?

Am I losing out because I want all the money in your bank account and you won’t give it to me?
