imagine being so frightened by someone's gender that you file a lawsuit over it
Imagine being so frightened by someone’s point you go out of your way to mischaracterize it.
Competing in sports is random and winning or losing against a trans person shouldnt bother anyone.
maybe i misunderstood it
Sex and gender are different things though. If there's any real debate to be had, it's along the lines of male hormones and penises. Should either be present in a place which essentially only exists for the purpose of keeping those things out?
Or should we reexamine the need for sex-based segregation?
Either is fine by me, but I can't seem to get a clear answer from anyone as to whether that type of segregation is of value
They are. Every sporting governing body I'm aware of requires trans women to be on hormone therapy for a minimum of 2 years before they can compete in the women's category. This is completely in line with the medical community's research into how long it takes before the benefits of being biologically male are counteracted by the hormone replacement.
The debate has been had in the medical community and has been resolved. Now random people who never gave a fuck about women's sports before think they should have input when they have no qualifications, just because they have prejudices.
So the new doping would be not taking the full dose of hormone treatments.
Could be, but they would still be required to pass tests to prove their hormones are in the appropriate range, just like cis women have to do when tested for doping with testosterone.
I mean, that’s already covered by testing. Women’s and men’s sports have different limits, USADA isn’t as dumb as you think.
Unless you’re just completely unaware that such an agency exists, then you just don’t understand how competitive sports actually work.
It's really funny seeing all the neck-beards bloviate about sports culture they know nothing about.
I only care about the locker room thing. If some of the other competitors are uncomfortable with that then we should hear them.
That is something that is very personal to a lot of people.
In a bathroom is one thing, they have stalls and privacy, an open locker room is a completely different thing.
Other than that, idk enough to have an educated opinion, so I don’t care enough to have one.
I suspect this is the most common sentiment even though you don't see it as much online. People turn it into an attack on trans people, but that's not the goal. The fact is there's no shortage of straight cis men who would gladly use the women's changing room if they were allowed
