Anyone can be the victim of random violence. Hell its more likely she was killed for being black than trans.
That’s a pretty off base statement. Anyone can be the victim of random violence. I’m curious to see how this plays out in terms of motive. Tragic no matter what.
How many 6'6" female runners are there in the Olympics?
In my day, using testosterone was called “doping”, and you got disqualified for it.
He’s taking testosterone, which no matter the context is a performance enhancing drug. It wouldn’t be unreasonable for others (man or woman) to not want to wrestle him for that reason. It led to a predictable outcome with him wrestling women.
Ultimately I blame the officials for not allowing him to compete against boys, but he should have done the right thing and not fucking wrestled against girls.
My co-workers and I fear transgender inclusion in sports may someday lead to abuse. While this case doesn’t have any clear signs of rules abuse by Mack, it does set a dangerous precedent.
Taking the risk of sounding sexist I’m going throw this idea out there. In most sports the men are obviously the ones with the upper hand. If a transgender person who was born a woman wants to compete with men. I think that is fine. I do not think that should be the case the other way around. That said, would this…
If he didn’t want to compete with girls, he had a choice.
“he had never wanted to be part of in the first place.”
He does not need testosterone. He can stop the injections for the wrestling season and start up again. He would not shrivel up and die withoit it. This isn’t a life saving medical need. It’s a know fact testosterone has advantages on athletics.
this isn’t a trans issue. whatever this human identifies as, it is using PED’s. so ban the cheating fuck.
This is the wrong answer for, like, anyone except the girls who lost to this kid.
The can exist, with consequences for their choices. But you aren’t changing chromosomes. Just appearances and the consequences.
It’s a choice. The taking of drugs has consequences. One is no wrestling.
Wants. Not needs. Needs air. Wants to be a gender other than what they actually are and always will be.
Birth certificate gender should trump personal convictions and medical treatments. Want to take Test? You fail drug test. Don’t wrestle at all. Consequences of choices.
They should have required the testosterone injections be stopped and verified the levels were back to normal. Then compete all you want. We all know testosterone gives you an advantage or college/pro athletes wouldn’t use them. Then we would know if this kid won based on skill or won with skill combined with the…
Slippery slope question I’m sure. If he was told he could only compete against females then why even compete?
