Lmao at the mods deleting like three or four posts on gun violence and feeling like they have to put up a sticky post at the top. I hope this post doesn’t stray too far from the limits imposed by the title the OP chose. Conversation can never flow too far guys.
I saw it before it was deleted. I don't fully remember how it was brought about, but someone who I assume to be liberal asked why do republicans care more about high school athletic competitions than shootings in their cities, and someone replied about Chicago
Obviously a girl who is receiving testosterone wouldn't be allowed to compete against girls, just as they wouldn't be allowed to compete in college, as that would be considered a PED.
I want you to bold face admit that you think that runners should compete against their gender 'identity'. And then I want you to say that you consider this to be fair competition.
Thats confusing.A non binary boy,who is still a boy, now has a girls name, competes against girls and boys,and trains with girls and sometimes with boys........or maybe i got it wrong......

Otherwise shut up.
I think runners should compete against their gender identity.
As for whether I consider that to be a fair competition, that’s a moot point. Sports are not fair. I’m losing to Noah Lyles 100% of the time because his genetics make him faster than me. If we wanted to make a “fair” situation where everyone has a chance to win, then I would get to line up 30 meters ahead of him at the start of the race.
The Massachusetts runner ran the same distance with the same number of hurdles set to the same height. That’s a fair competition. Who gets to the finish first? That’s our sport.
Long ago, we had a thing called sports. The best people at sports were all biologically male. So we created a second category of women's sports so women could excel.These categories are all based on biology. It has nothing to do with whether you want to wear a dress, wear long hair, wear high heels etc.
This is ahistorical. Women's sports was not created because some nice people decided to give them an opportunity to excel.
Women's sport was created by women because men's associations were fundamentally opposed to women competing in sport.
