Some nonbinary runners are irate that Chicago Marathon's new nonbinary division isn't paying out prize money

2.5 million likes.... the overwhelming majority of people are not insane. Stop being silent when people talk nonsense about this trash. The 20-25% of people that believe this are not the majority, they've just been crying about it louder than people that actually live in reality have been resisting. Not buying into 'woke' culture is not being any sort of -phobia, you're just living in reality.

Don't give these lunatics an inch.

Would the female nonbinary category be open to transgender female nonbinary runners?

A person lacking an SRY gene. That's nature's definition

I can't tell if the gender theorist types are being disingenuous or just plain ignorant when they claim to not know how to define sex categories.

Its possible most non-binary are happy. But a journalist must find that one runner who is unhappy to make the story. It is a classic case of sensational journalism

Yeah woke logic is “a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman”…does the same logic apply to transracial?

No. I didn't write that. You are a master of putting words into other people's keyboards.

I wrote, "If they want allies, I'd be more than happy to support them." Since I don't know what's best for them (female non-binaries), I will let THEM decide what's best for them, and support whatever THEY decide.

Unlike you, I am not better or smarter than those female nonbinary people. And I definitely don't know what's best for them.

Throughout history, there have been countless men who thought they were better and smarter than women, and believed they could decide what was best for women. How did you feel about them?

So are people with ovotesticular syndrome men or women? Swyer syndrome? CAIS?

You should know why they did that.

New York and Boston seem to be in that 'bunch' with their creep toward total woke. What was once Premier Athletic Events drifted into Social Athletic Events and now in the nosedive to Woke Athletic Events.

I'm on tap to do my 4th Boston in 6 months, but I'd much more prefer to go to Boston to participate in the 'Let's Bring it Back to an Athletic Event' boycott.

Yikes, I hope it's nowhere near 20-25% that actually believe. If so, we're in big trouble.

Exceptions don't disprove the rule.

Ovotesticular syndrome and Swyer syndrome are due to mutations or translocations of the SRY gene, or mutations of other genes related to sexual development, and these people are almost always infertile so these mutations are not adaptive or normal. In healthy humans, an embryo starts out as female and in the presence of and subsequent transcription of the SRY gene initiates male sexual development (i.e. ovaries develop into testes). To answer your question, I would categorize these people as male if male sexual development has occurred - which is true for ovotesticular syndrome and CAIS - and female if not. None of this disproves the existence of male/female sex.

If I must refine my definition of a woman further, it would be: a person without an abnormally located and/or mutated SRY gene and has not experienced male sexual development.

Looks like Cal Calamba had pretty solid race, 2:58:50. Way to get after it Cal!

Do you think a jurist is qualified to judge whether someone's SRY gene is abnormally located or mutated? How about judging "male sexual development"? Or is that a task of a "biologist"?

That’s interesting

You mentioned vapogender

i had never heard of it

If you are vapogender, can you enter the non binary division?
