There are some great comments in this piece. the fact that people want to talk about having this "discussion" about trans athletes and do absolutely zero second-order thinking about it drives me up a wall.

Glad to be quoted alongside some brilliant folks about the current state of trans participation in sport: “denying a group of people their basic human rights is morally reprehensible & illegal, regardless of the size of that community.”

Thanks to @edgeofsports.bsky.social for this piece.

What happens if you send trans women to play on men's teams? Are we safe?

Why was it that a trans inclusive policy for 15 years was fine until republicans said it wasn't and one (1) trans woman won a national title?

Why is a blanket ban for all sports a workable method? Sports are so unique.

How come medicalizing ourself is necessary when women with similar levels do not need to even think about it? What about cis women who get caught up in your gender policing?

Do you unconditionally support our healthcare so young trans people can get care they need before puberty?

Like, there's so much people don't even want to touch because they hide behind this "fairness" excuse.

We don't have equal access to sport in this country for anyone. That determines your path.

I have never heard one of these "fairness" arguments that doesn't fall apart in the face of the fact that LeBron James was allowed to play highschool basketball. If you're worried about people with different biology, probably the 6'5" 16 year old who can dunk behind his back is a problem, right?

Sports isn’t fair by its nature. Men’s sports, women’s sports - none of it’s fair. There’s always going to be someone faster, stronger, more agile, younger. You can’t turn it into a “Harrison Bergeron”-esque farce by putting weights on LeBron or Saquon

It was enlightening to me learning some of the history of gender testing in international sports and the impact on intersex / DSD athletes

Tim Walz had a better response than any of this - Mind your own damned business, weirdos!" Don't you have anything to do? Is this your job? No?
