So, after all of recorded history, it has come to this: an (alleged) astrophysicist claims it is odd that we separate male and female athletes.
In a recent (2022) discussion with science writer and podcaster Michael Shermer, Neil deGrasse Tyson said: “It is a little weird that we split people by male and female in this way. I’m imagining a hundred years from now looking back and saying, ‘Do you know back 100 years ago they split boys and girls and they couldn’t compete?’ And … that’d just be kind of a little weird.”
Really? At the rate we’re going, in 30 years people may not be able to distinguish males from females.
But do we really want to have women competing, say, on NFL, NHL, and NBA teams? The injuries would be horrific. And the majority of both would be extremely uncomfortable in the locker rooms. Moreover, the few who wouldn’t be uncomfortable would likely be an even bigger problem.
To his credit, Shermer didn’t agree with Tyson’s take. Which didn’t set well with Tyson, who likened Shermer to an “old man on the porch in a rocking chair” for his backward thinking.
Other clips of progressives’ favorite scientist have surfaced recently, including one in which Tyson called the human brain’s need to make categories, even of things that he says are “not inherently categorizable,” a “failure of evolution.” He added, “Suppose no matter my chromosomes, today I feel 80 percent female, 20 percent male. I’m gonna put on makeup. Tomorrow, I might feel 80 percent male. I’ll remove the makeup and I’ll wear a muscle shirt. Why do you care?! What businesses is it of yours to require that I fulfill your inability to think of gender on a spectrum?”

You know .... Flora. Fauna. Domain. Kingdom. Phylum. Class. Order. Family. Genus. Species.
Humans wouldn’t be here if our minds couldn’t/didn’t incessantly categorize. Dangerous, safe; edible, inedible; true, false. And yes, good or bad.
Classic diversity hire…
i agree
all barriers between male and female should be removed immediately
He has likely never played any competitive sports game whatsoever, so his ignorance is understandable.
I look forward to showering with 18 year old chicks at my gym.
This won’t cause any problems…
The reality is that there is womens sports for biological reasons only. If there is no gender than there should be no womens sports for these tranys to compete in. They can’t have it both ways. You can’s say there is no gender and then say that women should have their own sports. You should then call it XX and XY sports. Because thats the real difference in both glossaries.

This dumb bastard would put girls on the football team and in the boxing ring.

According to his wiki he was on a crew and wrestling teams once upon a time.
I was talking in jest overall, not aiming anything serious at you.
Things need to “blow up” to get better.
We’ve gone around the bend.
“Suppose no matter my chromosomes, today I feel 80 percent female, 20 percent male. I’m gonna put on makeup. Tomorrow, I might feel 80 percent male.

A sophomoric argument from a PhD.

He’s Probably been watching too many Marvel Female Superhero comics. :)
He’s not only seriously mentally ill, he’s also a blithering idiot on top of it.
This ignorant mouthpiece has lost credibility in the astronomy/astrophysics wing of science and is ignored by many in the field - and as an astronomy buff I watched him decline over the years as his audience dwindled. About a dozen years ago he was ranting about anthropogenic global warming - CLICKED off for good. A lot of good his education did when he comes out looking dumber than Bill Nye.
“The injuries would be horrific.”
No they wouldn’t.
Because women wouldn’t make the team.
maybe it’s time that the scientific minds learn what the consequences of their own thinking leads to by including the dumb ones with the smart ones in the sciences and let’s see where that leads. after all, how do you rightly divide the smarties from the dummies?
It’s also weird that to consummate the sex act, a man gets to insert his scrotum into the woman’s vag. Totally unfair! Why can’t the woman ever insert her vag into the man’s scrotum./sarc
Dude’s dope. Ha ha, giggle guffaw. Dope, I tell ya. Dope. Oh, and soooo hip and with it.
Shallow, diverse celebrity scientist.
In my experience, I made up for the women and minorities by having to do more work.
I specifically chose my line of work due to an extremely high percentage of white males in the field. Now, “they” are coming…
