The Loyal Opposition

[Undertoad]

I'm real sorry that there is more interest in "sports" than there is in "women's sports" although for now there is still less interest in seeing the top human potential as limited by gender. Perhaps someday there will be. I don't think it is a necessary factor in creating an less sexist culture.

Now we have a weird wild lightning rod for everyone

At high school and college level, the best women athletes are being beaten by transgendered XYs who identify as women.

Ideally there would be a separate sports category for tg'd people but one doubts that will happen

And it breaks civil rights laws in many states for high schools to not treat tg'd XYs as women -- as they should, arguably except for this one wild loophole

The nuance comes in the form of the argument that hormone therapy reduces muscle mass over time, so someone who has been TG a long time no longer has an advantage. The counter argument comes from the two tg'd men coming in first and second at the Connecticut state track finals last year and breaking the meet record along the way.

It will cause XX girls to stop participating in girl's sports. As one shitposter put it, "Girls, you had your shot but once again boys are superior and you'll just have to live with it."

S'a tough one.

"S'a tough one."

No, it's not.

You know, right now sportsball doesn't seem quite as important.
