I'd have listened to him more if he'd provided indisputable science that proved that transgender females do not have an advantage in sport, which was the subject under debate. Unless he can do that, it's just his feelings, versus reality. I don't deny the right of biological males to live as females or to be treated decently and with respect, insofar as it does not diminish the lives and efforts of biological females to live THEIR authentic lives.

Rayvanna missing the point. Women's professional softball players earn $12k a year because that's the value of being a women's professional softball player to advertisers. How many female softball games has SHE watched the past year? Also Rayvanna, being opposed to biological males competing against females is not bigotry. People didn't care about it in the past because it wasn't an issue in the past.

@prodemocracyseth The trouble is, as rare as it is to have trans students, schools must still have policies on such issues. I agree, the GOP inflate these issues to disproportionate levels, but they must still be addressed. The "Don't say gay" bill is a whole different story, but this politician is conflating the two and doing himself no favours.

@thomasdendtler4077 And I suppose being opposed to 21 year old adults competing against kids is bigotry too?

@prodemocracyseth Of COURSE not all males are stronger than all females, just like not all 21 year olds are better marathon runners than people aged 100, but as a demographic, males are massively better at non-stamina sports. Elites in one demographic will of course, outperform the masses in another. Moreover, those differences are even LOWER at youth level. Your argument is not well considered. I do however, agree with the general tone of your post.

@prodemocracyseth "Any bill against transgenderism or gay people is an attack on the LBGTQ+ period." They may be described monolithically as a single issue, but they certainly are not, nor are attacks on one area of one letter, an attack on the entirety of that class of sexuality or gender. "That is considered dictating how someone should chose to live their lives." Oh come on Seth, you're smarter than these ridiculous overreaching arguments. If I said you are not allowed to wave your penis in people's faces, that would not be an attack on heterosexuality or maleness. There are endless gender-based rules on the way that we live our lives that are not indicative of a dictatorship - don't be hyperbolic - you make your arguments look foolish.

@prodemocracyseth The vast majority of trans people do NOT get puberty blockers (and that's a good thing - they are tantamount to child abuse in my book). But being a male is about more than raw muscle, and being a winning athlete is about more than mere gender - stop making bad arguments. I already explained to you about DEMOGRAPHICS - pointing to individual cases as examples of the whole. With a meaningful sample saize of males and females, males come out on top. Until we have a meaningful sample size of trans women, they must continue to assessed as men. They have different muscle connections, different skeletal angles, and potentially, even different upbringing. As for genetics - it is still NOT incontrovertibly proven that that is the case.
