OT Should females compete against biological males?

My wife can kick my butt on a tennis court with a long volley but she can't return my serve if it's clicking..she was a second place champion in Taiwan women's tennis competiton....check the difference in pitch speed between women's and men's baseball...it's pretty substantial....most male baseball players would knock female pitchers out of the park....there may be an exception but generally....they are two different games

 

But this seems to be assumes every trans person wanting to compete in sports is elite at their sports, and is going to have an unfair advantage. Especially going down to like, the high school level. Some of them just want to be able to compete, and are probably just ok.

 

Then, there's Luis Castillo and that change-up.

 

My irish roots have a very different definition of quaint....also of substance when posting

 

Well, then, mind your p's and q's.

 

Women do compete against men in sports...I have no problem with that....I do have a problem with boxing as one of those sports...

 

You know what you can do with your fluff......when you actually have something of interest...I'll mark it on the calendar....carry on....quaint.....not the word that works when addressing contempt for horrible crimes....

 

Well, we all can count on you to change the world, then. Carry on.

 

My position is that straight cis men do not have the right to dictate what transgender women, or transgender men, can and cannot do. Or to decide what is or us not "responsible" behavior for transgender people.

I am quite sure you would be outraged by the reverse.

 

I think there are extenuating circumstances....I'd say the same about a child boxing an adult or many different scenarios I think not only are risky but potentially dangerous . I would never complain or feel slighted by not being able to compete in a women's boxing match as a male....and to be frank...sexuality has absolutely nothing to do with my reasoning behind certain sports being different from others concerning this. My concerns are about safety, not political correctness.

 

I just checked youtube and there are matches between male and female boxers underground fight clubs with gambling and some mixed fighting clubs....this is happening now....I'll never watch it...disappointing to learn from my view...call me conservative

 

There are discussions going on now about does a bio male that transitioned to female have an advantage? There are girls, young women and women that feel its a definite advantage in certain sports, like sprinting as the male bone structure and muscles help.
This argument has evolved because of there are cases where young women feel cheated when it comes to competing for scholarships or endorsements, an there have been bio males winning going away. Girls, young women put many hours into training and certain sports and feel its unfair. This is a dilemma as one group is concerned about inclusion and the other about on a level field.
My daughter was good enough to earn a spot on mens soccer team when in middle school and tried out for HS boys team and dint make the cut as she was simply not as strong and powerful as compared, if she had been Im convinced she would have been selected. If my son wanted to play girls hs softball they would have refused, concerned about precedent.
