“Trans people should be allowed to experience sports,” says trans athlete/scientist Joanna Harper.

Ok.

But how can that be done fairly?

I don’t care about this topic anymore. Any coach at this point who isn’t stalking the women’s team with men is a loser.

I presume you actually meant “stocking” the women’s team ...

Although the fake-woman weightlifter from NZ did get beat by a real woman.

Trans people can already experience sports. They can join the team that matches their biological sex or form their own trans leagues. Men showering with women is not a Constitutional right.

Good points.

Nobody is banning “trans” athletes from competing. These “trans” people who identify as women, who are biological men, are allowed to compete in men’s athletics. Nobody is keeping them from doing so.

The way the media presents the issue, the men are being discriminated against, if they can’t compete on the women’s team. All of us here know how bogus that position is, but this position is being broadcast by the liberals in the media.

Answer- Give me a D. Give me an N. Give me an A. What’s that spell?
They do drug testing so why not DNA tests? Your gender is in the DNA.

The only way to make it fair would be to add more teams:

M M team
M2F team
F2M team
F F team

Of course, then would come preferential teams for tall, for short, for over-weight, for races, yada yada yada.

Short answer: it will never be fair, because life isn’t always fair.

This will not be solved until there is the technology to scoop the brains out of these degenerate morons and plop them into a freshly 3-D printed chromosome modified body-clone of the sex they desire.

Same here. It’s like trying to follow a subject line by opening fortune cookies.

“Trans people should be allowed to experience sports,” says trans athlete/scientist Joanna Harper. Ok.

I used to be a libertarian - a long time ago.

But Stossel's response is a master class it why the libertarian fantasy cannot survive contact with reality. With two little letters, no less. And those letters are:

"O" and "K".

Either spelling is appropriate.

Interesting the Olympics allows hormone enhancers now. Just say no to the hybrids.
