Yes, its women sports. Not transgender sports. If there are 71 gender status’ according to Facebook (who seems to be on top of these things). Women’s sports is just one status, women. The reason women sports exists at all is because women compete without a huge amount of testosterone in their body, a big disadvantage from men. It really does not matter what their dress or genitals look like or how they act. Its the level of testosterone. We used to designate the male/female divide by the presence of a Y chromosome. But we have learned this is old school. Some people have XXY and things like that. Right now, if I were a women athlete I would be wondering if women sports will exist in a few years.
“Right now, if I were a women athlete I would be wondering if women sports will exist in a few years.”
And, honestly, so what if they don’t? What is there to see, really? It’s a whole lower level of competition. All professional sports should be open to all competitors.
Your argument about men’s advantage is a central discussion topic at the link. Exactly the same argument that’s pooh-poohed when women want to be firefighters, police, and soldiers.
Also notice the incredible disconnect in the story. The competitors would pull up short to avoid ridicule if they won medals? So. If they do qualify but aren’t chosen bc they will, in effect, throw a race, imagine the s**tstorm.
Clearly, we need a transgender olympics. A “Very Special Olympics.”
