I already gave my opinion.
Anyone notice that CC can't stop lying and running away?
How many trans athletes have your daughters and granddaughters faced in athletics?
CC votes for Republicans or not at all.
What's the scope of the "problem" here?
How many trans athletes are competing in public school sports in Texas?
I would rather let 100 trans athletes run free than subject one schoolgirl to a genital inspection.
the trans athlete bills are comparable to the whole voter fraud/voter id stuff in that for the most part, in that they are solutions looking for a problem.
theres a conversation to be had about both, but they take up an inordinate amount of time/energy relative to the scope of the problem
It's a moral panic looking for rubes.
Trans can have their own special Olympics.
Found one!
No one cared about trans folk playing sports. They only cared when they won.
Well sure. Unless you are a bigot then the issue is about compe ive balance and gene expression.
looked like a normal exchange to me
(shrugs)
African runners identified female at birth but having higher than defined natural limits of testosterone for purposes of Olympic compe ion, are now banned from certain distance events. Some of these runners have subsequently disclosed genetic anomalies, some of them just have higher than normal testosterone. Since when were such compe ive anomalies policed among Men, leaving PEDs wholly to one side, since we are talking about naturally occurring hormones.
When did you ever hear about a man having to reduce his hormonally normal situation chemically, just to compete with other men? Never.
Yet, this is a real thing for a handful of international runners.
Hey, was any actual policy ever posted, or was this just the usual family goat ?
Not sure what I'm supposed to agree or disagree with here, the OP never really unpacked his own topic, he scarcely commented on it.
It's nothing but weak women hating men trying to 1up every woman, take their scholarships, take their records, and all the while mocking and cosplaying as "one of them".
It would be called "Mental Olympics" tbh

Now, in order to compete at next year’s Olympics, she would have to undergo hormone-suppressing treatment for six months, something she has said she will never do again, having undergone the treatment a decade ago under previous rules.
Mboma, who won her silver in Tokyo two years ago but was out of worlds last year because of an injury, has not publicly stated whether she would be willing to undergo hormone therapy.
Another athlete, Olympic 800-meter silver medalist Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi, also has said she would not undergo treatment. While Semenya struggled at longer distances, Niyonsaba had relative success, winning Diamond League les at 3,000 and 5,000 meters and running in the 5,000 at the Tokyo Olympics.
Under the new regulations, athletes in the previously “unrestricted” events would have to suppress testosterone levels below 2.5 nanomoles per liter of blood for six months. Ultimately, they would have to stay below those levels for two years.
Previously, athletes with differences in sex development had to lower their testosterone to below 5 nanomoles per liter of blood for at least six months before competing, and the rules only applied to distances between 400 meters and one mile.
So they have naturally occurring high levels of testo?
Is it possible to detect the difference between naturally occurring testosterone level and artificially increased testosterone levels?

A reasonable question to Whineholes topic.
