    I provided one example. It wasn't the only example. I'm not talking entirely about safety. I'm talking about fairness.

    How is this fair?

    The only case I can think of was a trans guy in Thailand competing in MMA.

    LOL. So much for womens rights. Hey fuck your daughters and their desire to compete. If they have to compete against biological males that have an inherent advantage, well suck it up buttercup...

    Why even have womens sports? Why have things like Title 9?

    If someone isn't good enough to be one of the best competing as a male, and then they turn around and identify as a female and now they're winning state championships.... what does that say?

    When the 203rd best male tennis player in the world can beat both of the Williams sisters back to back........

    Seriously people think someone will pretend so they can dominate a sport and gain fame and fortune out of it? Lol

    Oh, I support their rights, but...

    No you don't. It sounds like you grudgingly accept some.

    Dude, thats not whats being discussed here, at least thats not my POV. I don't think that people are making the decision to be a female just to kick someones ass and be a better athlete than another woman. What I am saying is that its UNFAIR for the biological women to compete due to them being BIOLOGICALLY different

    People will do whatever they can to game the system. If someone wouldn't have a chance in hell of getting a scholarship as a male but suddenly can identify and win championships as a woman, why wouldn't they?

    So now we're concerned with protecting and preserving the sanctity of high school athletics?

    So why have male and female sports at all? Why not just have skill based match making like video games. If you play a ranked video game like Overwatch, it doesn't care if you're a boy or girl. It doesn't care if you are trans, gay, straight, whatever. It cares about your skill rating.

    So have a skill based athletics and be done with it. No more male and female.

    Of course..... the women's rights activists wouldn't be too happy about that :devilwink:

    Or you can let people self identify, because I imagine the cases you're so concerned about would number in the teens. And then who gives a shit. It's a discussion that's being stretched to absurd lengths. What about a 7 foot tall boxer?!?! What about Big bruising boxers?! What if someone just flips one year so they can win a sport?! Who gives a shit. It's high school athletics. I'd say gender identity positivity would be a far bigger deal than a few lost championships. But yes, go to the next absurd argument and Why even have split sports?

    I think if you were a female track star who just lost to two trans women in the state championship, you would probably care.

    it's just funny to me how women's rights become inconvenient when they get in the way of the latest liberal fad.

    If you can't see the harm that it does to others, I guess that's up to you.

    To call caring about people a fad is pretty fucking lame.

    someone earlier mentioned how there was a similar argument with black athletes. Think of all the poor white baseball players that couldn't be professionals because we had to go and let blacks in. It was a slippery slope!!
