OT "I'm Dealing With A Few Transgender Issues"

How many Olympic world records do women hold over men?

The reality is that high school champion boys are athletically more dominant than the most athletic women in the world.

Separating boys and girls IS separation by ability. The fairest way possible.

 

Do you favor just doing away with girls and/or women leagues, and men/boys leagues, and just have an open league based on ability?

 

Actually, there are boys that might feel more comfortable playing on girls team as they are not as good as the average boy. When I coached youth baseball early on I had several girls that played on my team. I had boys that were not real talented that could have maybe done better playing girls softball. Some boys are just feminine and get along better with girls and probably would rather play softball.

 

No more boy or girl scouts just scouts!

 

It matters because people are interested in who is the best. People understand that the best man will likely be athletically better than the best woman.

True. And they can go compete with other men of their caliber in the rec leagues with any women who choose to join.

But what people want to see is the best and most committed people playing against one another.

To do that you have to pit the best men vs the best men. And the best women vs the best women.

Anything else and you just cheapen the women's competition and make anybody who violates that look bad.

 

Scouts isn't an athletic competition. There was never a reason for it to be separate.

 

I am old, but identify as young.

Which makes me a trans-juvenile..

I am too old to understand all of this gender surfing. I believe we are all equal, but, each has our own individual talents and interests.

Best analogy I can come with is. About 90% of the people are right handed, 10% left. All are equal. Just some are different.

Well almost all are equal. I do believe a small % are better and have an advantage. The lucky few that are ambidextrous.

Now I am more confused than ever about this trans topic.

 

My girls play against boys all the time. I understand that very well.

A girl choosing to play up is completely different than girls being forced to compete against somebody who is playing down. My daughters refuse to play in the lower brackets even though they'd dominate because that would be distasteful.

 

First, that's far more complicated than dividing by sex at birth. 2nd, it's not nearly as fun to watch most sports split like that.

And if you separate it by those metrics men will win all of those divisions. So you'll wind up with fewer and fewer women playing sports. Which will be a huge negative for women, and by extension, society.

Advocating that we eliminate women's sports is an absolutely terrible and regressive idea.

 

It takes a pretty determined sexism to think a high school boy could have defeated Serena Williams.

On planet Earth. Dwyane Wade and his 17 year old daughter Zara are creating a new web site as safe place for LGBTQ youth, to post their stories, chat, share poetry, photography, etc.

 

Serena Williams might be the exception. In most sports and in most cases and in almost every team sport the best HS boys team would beat the best women's team in the world.

And that's fine. Again, I have 3 daughters who train with boys. They beat boys all the time. It can certainly happen.

Be we need to be realistic. That's not sexist.

Are you supporting the idea of getting rid of women's sports? Do you think if there were no women's sports anybody would even know who Serena Williams is? How many wins do you think she'd have?

Is this the attention we want for women's sports?

Or, you know... Just let girls compete against girls. There is nothing preventing them from playing up against boys if they want to.

You gain nothing by eliminating women's sports and cause a ton of harm.
