    Hello darkness, my old friend
    No, I provided the analysis that you left out. Again, you don't care to actually provide a real, thought-out idea. You want the people responding to you to figure out the problems with your idea and solve them, otherwise they're being unfair and "inferring."

    Put some actual effort in. Then I won't snark.

    You misunderstand me. I wasn't saying you missed something I said--I was saying you left the analysis out of your original post (the one I "snarked" about), and left it to me to provide it. Which is your pattern--you don't put the necessary analysis into your ideas, you expect people responding to do it for you and if they don't, you complain that they're not being fair.

    i addressed the bold three times.

    regarding numbers… yes tough luck.
    You know what?

    many schools don't have certain sports and activities due to lack of numbers.

    Your snark is uncalled for and unproductive. And you have the gall to tell me to be better???

    Just have a respectful conversation. Is that so fucking difficult?

    It would make since for tran girl compete against men then trans guy compete against women.
    It would be more fair imo.

    the reason wrestlers and fighters have weight classes is for fairness.

    again, bullshit. Weight classes in swimming would entail enough numbers for them.m to compete.
    How is that not addressing your claim to my suggestion being so illogical it deserves your snark?? Your snark was moot with weight classes.

    How pompous to dismiss my suggestion as ridiculous and throwing shit at wall that i should be better.


    Besides throwing shit at walls and seeing what sticks has solves many a problem.


    Just say yeah i didn't have to come off that way and could have asked how we would get around a lack of numbers to compete…

    Its more respectable than to double down on arrogance…

    One college swimmer.

    This doesn't seem like a problem.

    Also wouldn't segregating trans athletes into separate teams open them up to Title 9 protections? Wouldn't that mean colleges and universities would have to offer just as many sports as they do for men and women?

    its like some of you don't really read the suggestions? Weight classes would not separate transgendered athletes from non.
    It would be weight classes for all.
    Regarding the one student not really being a problem. First, there is always a first. Until there are more.
    And not being a problem now?

    tell that to these people…

    So what would be the weight classes for football and basketball? Track? Soccer? You start making rules and regulations for trans athletes I'm pretty sure they would have to apply to all athletes. Would these rules be designed to only protect the non transathletes or would we look to protect the transathletes too? Men transitioning to females wouldn't have a competitive advantage in women's gymnastics or figure skating. Would we still separate them?

    And yes, I was the one who posted the first article about the swim team members and their thoughts about their transgendered teammate. Seems like this will hurt their future recruiting.

    They would apply to all athletes. I don't think many people have an issue with a transgender on a team sport, as much as they do individual. Many individual sports have classes based on various factors like weight.

    Or how about they continue to compete against the gender they would have prior to their change?

    Forgive me for my atrocities as brainstorming ideas for discussion without thinking every detail out and dictating what should happen like some know it all.
    I appreciate you asking questions and discussing ideas.
    Its largely how most people learn.

    So if I'm a man who doesn't weigh a lot I get to compete against mostly females?

    I'm not sure that really solves the supposed problem you are aiming to fix!
