I really want to administer a simple test to everyone yapping about "men" in women's sports. Without searching online, answer these questions:
1. Name one individual reigning NCAA champion in a women's sport or two members of any reigning champion team in a women's sport.
1. Name one individual reigning NCAA champion in a women's sport or two members of any reigning champion team in a women's sport.

And a “man” who loses to a “girl” deserves it. He’s “weak.”
After a year of hormones the difference between adult “bio” men and “bio” women is drastically reduced.
So it depends when you are talking about.
Of course, I’m not a person this is directed at - I’m a relatively sane and decent human being.
OTOH, I'm not an anti trans asshole and know for a fact that if sports need to remain segregated that trans women ARE WOMEN!
This is not a fire - there's not even smoke.
This is not where our government's attention and energy should be spent. Seriously.
Please see the article re the number of trans athletes currently in college sports (although, after Trump's EO, that # is 0).
My point- this is not where we need to have our attention.

This is not a fire that should take priority right now.
That was my whole point.
I'm so tired of being on the defensive over bad faith transphobic attacks unfounded by statistics.

But I get your point.
Hell half of it is bots anymore, anyways. Dead internet theory is real.
Name one individual men’s champion or two players from a reigning men’s champion.
And when you can’t, the fit the Republicans are throwing over trans athletes is still just ridiculous and performative.
The fact is that transgender wo/men (depending on viewpoints) do hold an unfair advantage
That can't be allowed. Unless we decide to go the whole 9 yds & allow both sexes to compete together?

Guys do it to me with baseball so this will be too fun!
Serena Williams have no chance vs a top male tennis player. She lost 6-1 vs a man ranked 203 in the world
Ledecky wr on 800 m is 32 seconds slower
Sorry, autocorrect kept changing that one
Give this trans thing 20 years of support and every women’s team will have trans women dominating. Teams always look for an angle to win. Every team will go that route.
Am I a babbie?

But I read - Judge not least ye be judged
Those without sin cast the first stone
I have enough to atone for in my own life to try to judge others Those putting people down, hating them for what they feel their sins are, I refuse to believe that's their ticket to heaven
People cannot afford to eat - to have health care - to have a roof over their heads - will probably lose Social Security
But let's concentrate on the poor Transgender people
It is all a distraction
If that is your number one concern, you are not paying attention
However this legislation harms our trans and nonbinary siblings. They are not bystanders
And it was justified.
The women were getting the equivalent of "coach," while the men got "first class."
I would humbly suggest that answering these questions will reveal something of a person's interest in women's sports as opposed to a particular gender ideology.
I'm against the portal.
Make college sports amateur, again.
Or... make the Pro teams that benefit from the free (to them) NCAA farm system, pay (and make the players abide by contracts)
But it should only apply to elite sports, and only to sports where physicality is a major benefit
2. Trans women in womens sports that require no significant physique are not an issue
3. Trans women in womens sports that can be classified as "for fun" are not an issue
Only in elite physical sports for women "the lesser of two evils" should apply.
Another team in our region has a trans player.
She is good... but she isn't the best player in the region at this age group (not even the best player on her team).
But there are some girls on my team (and some parents, and some players/parents from other teams) who are intimidated because the girl in question does hit HARD.
For me, it isn't a safety issue. My players are no more at-risk than if they were playing an elite "all biologically female" opponent.
I agree that the "problem" isn't a problem.
But that doesn't mean that it isn't about to become one.
NOT that a biological male is going to win the Women's 100m Gold Medal, or that a biological male is going to injure a girl in Soccer...
Speaking as a man who coached gymnastics for 9 years and had to teach a team of boys how to dance because their floor composition sucked.
Also 2022 there were more than 3,000,000 children who played baseball (not all sports, just baseball).
It’s a ridiculous concern in K-12 sports.
Not a one…
