Jon Stossel on trans athletes: How can they compete fairly?

[Leep]

Then they could give them a grammy?

[PghBaldy]

Why don’t we read about “trans men” competing on men’s teams, or against men?

[Brilliant]

The problem with your proposal is that trans men view themselves as women and insist that they be permitted to compete with women.

[butlerweave]

You want to compete with Woman you to must be testicleless

[chief lee runamok]

"Get them their own category."

Trans women compete against trans women.

Trans men compete against trans men.

Problem solved.

[AZJeep]

Well, now we would have Olympic 4 gold medals for each discipline. Are you going to cheer US tran team?

[DuncanWaring]

Two entirely different words.

[Red6]

He always makes sense.

He has a nice style.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

There is a “Special Olympics” for those who are handicapped, so why not have a “Trans Olympics”?

And like the Special Olympics, “everybody wins a prize”.

[redangus]

If this is all about trans enjoying sports why do we never hear about female to male trans fighting to compete against real men? It’s always some loser guy who wants to compete against women. Same with prison. It’s always the trans guy wanting to go to a women’s prison never the other way around

[redangus]

There is a Gay Olympics. Let them compete in it.

[upchuck]

The ball-less IOC Committee needs to demand a DNA check for all competitors. XYs compete against other XYs. XXs compete against other XXs. End of controversy.

This assumes the IOC wants to end the controversy.

Anyone care to poke holes in this?

And the men can be stocked on the team and they can stalk the women on the team.

[poconopundit]

Good point. And once we've exhausted the 57 genders that San Francisco recognizes, we can divide by racial and color grounds, next will be a requirement to have separate Olympics teams for the "oppressed" people of each nation.

This image kind of sharpens the issue for me:

Let’s see. Men in sports are FORBIDDEN from taking performance enhancing drugs, but men pretending to be women are REQUIRED to take testosterones suppressing drugs, just to make it “fair”.

[V K Lee]

At this time, after being divided,
re-divided and an attempt
made to put me back together
(via a tightly placed straight jacket)
there is now difficulty in
pounding on the keys.

You might fail to hear from me
on a regular basis.

Awaiting logic and common sense to be found
...somewhere!

[Maris Crane]

EXACTLY!

"Well, now we would have Olympic 4 gold medals for each discipline. Are you going to cheer US tran team?"

No.

Deteriorating mental health is nothing to cheer about.

[poconopundit]

V K. Never fear. Tonight, the now legendary Vernon Jones is coming to our local GOP meeting to speak. This guy is a 100% Trumper and you’ll recall he caused the self-destruction of a certain Critical Race Theory “architect”:

I’ll report back on this event. . .

[NetAddicted]

I presume somebody is already working on that.
