    Hello darkness, my old friend
    There definitely should be a trans section. Trans men and trans women are basically the same thing, just like gay women and gay men are the same thing. And if you're the only trans swimmer in your school or conference, tough luck. God didn't intend for you to swim.

    Anyone who is mentally different should be excluded from S2.

    Oh for crying out loud. The hyperbole is ridiculous. No one said exclusion.

    Boxing has weight classes. Wrestling has weight classes.

    why cant their be different classes like what was suggested prior the snark?

    Nothing was suggested except "make trans people their own thing," which, by itself, is obviously ridiculous. It's not on us if you drop in an incomplete idea that makes no sense by itself--you need to flesh it out so that it could actually work in real life.

    and your way of fleshing it out is to respond with snark versus asking for clarity?


    Got it…

    Yes, because that sort of ill-thought-out, exclusionary-on-its-face idea makes discussions like this worse, not better. Instead of just throwing shit against the wall in case something sticks, why not go to the effort of thinking something through first? "Random shit that happens to enter your mind" doesn't really deserve much more than snark.

    umm wow. Lol.
    So suggesting they have their own section isnt thought out according to your standards. How absolutely over the top.

    Its absolutely logical to suggest thst.
    Special olympics?

    weight classes in many sports?


    As i posted earlier about metabolism Nd muscle mass, i would assume a transgender would have more muscle mass, equating to a heavier weight. So why not have different weight classes?
    I apologize that my suggestion doesn't meet your “criteria” but it wasnt “throwing shit on the wall to see what sticks” it was a discussion of sections and classes other sports have,
    your standards are simply not reasonable based on the above reference points…

    I mean wow.
    And its the other side that has communication issues. riiiggghhht.

    Lol.
    Uh huh.

    The two biggest examples being used about transsexuals in sports have been in track and field and now swimming. Not sports that use weight classes.

    I do kind of want to see the heavy weight divisions of swimming and 100m dash, though. Lol

    Trans athletes in Thailand have competed with men in kickboxing for a long time....I think they had a superstar kickboxer who was trans......they compete in the male competitions though from what I saw...not the female bouts. That's gone on for a long, long time.

    I recall a transgender being disqualified from a a sporting event due to a prescription they had used for a toothache. The official charge was transdental medication.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    My response that you labeled as "snark" had two reasons why it's not remotely logical or workable. But, again, you can't be bothered to actually think anything through. You throw out a silly, unworkable idea and then get angry that no one's taking it seriously.That's how you deal with most social topics--a drive-by thought with no effort behind it and then you demand it be shown respect.

    Be better if you want to be treated better.

    No it didnt. You inferred without analysis. Like you cant have transgender male class and transgender female class?

    you cant have classes for women and men by weight?
    Lightweight swimming class? Middleweight? Etc?

    You didn't address that in your snark…nor have an answer for it not being a viable solution.

    man your post reaks of arrogance.

    Be better….

    Don't come at me with my “conversational issues” when you clearly are incapable of having a conversation without belittlement and condescension…

    Fucking ridiculous…


    Be better.
