Also, the talking point isn’t “the supreme court’s reversal of roe was radical and took away women’s rights” became “democrats think men can give birth and any language criticizing them is violence.” She did not eviscerate him. She derailed the conversation to lecture him on trans-inclusive language, and then accused…

So she won a million internet lefty cool points, and Hawley gets to go back to Missouri and stump/campaign/raise money on how well he triggers libs, how batshit “these/those people” are, and the fact that he ‘can’t even ask questions’ (questions his constituents probably find reasonable,) without being accused of…

“The entire concept of competitive athletics, especially elite athletics, is that some people are far, far better than average.”

If your bar for danger is dissenting opinions then no place is safe so long as it's occupied by anyone who thinks.

Nothing needs to be re-researched.  We already know someone with Male chromosomes will be at an advantage compared to someone with female chromosomes.  This science was settled a long time ago.  Will there be outliers?  Of course.  But science isn’t about outliers.  It’s about trends.  And the settled trend is,…

It’s not transphobic to question the fairness of trans women competing against biological women. That’s called critical thinking or debate. It’s not inherently transphobic to have questions about something. Saying that is just a method to shut down meaningful debate.

Males are not female as much as you wish that were true. Next to nobody believes TWAW and the fact we’ve done this to women, forcing them to accept men in their intimate spaces, taking their spots on sports teams, housing women in prison with violent male predators is misogynistic and utterly inhumane and insane. This…

So your proof that the studies author is a “TERF” is the fact that someone called them a TERF because they were researching the issue in question. That’s some great proof you have there.

If it’s not about winning medals, then couldn’t trans women just compete in the mens division and nullify any arguments?

Attack on transwomen? I thought it was attack on biological women instead.

Males never should have been allowed to compete in women’s sport in the first place. They should also be kept out of women’s locker rooms and showers when women say no.

Sadly, the area of gay and trans rights is one where progressives have shown they are just as willing as conservatives to be anti-science. It’s striking how readily they will dismiss any number of scientific studies using the excuse that they must be biased. It’s sad that they use the idea that anyone who presents…

Pretty much all current scientific research shows that trans females maintain a biological advantage for several years post op, even with reduced testosterone levels if they had gone through puberty as a male.

While this is an excellent way for transphobes to find a way to be exclusionary towards trans people - is the argument that people who go through a male puberty would have an unfair advantage in female sports so outlandish?

There have been and continue to be emerging scientific studies that show that even well past post-op, trans women retain 95% of their strength even 1 year after starting testosterone suppressive therapy.

Because a biologically female body would not perform well against biologically male bodies, in most sports. On the other hand, a biologically male body will perform very well against a biologically female body in any sport.  

Which is why making the rules so loose was such a braindead political move. We never used to have this problem when the rules required you to be post op for at least two years, because that usually means having undetectable testosterone levels (as I do now), and putting us at a distinct disadvantage, which is why we…

It seems disingenuous to say that this is simply an attack on trans athletes and that it’s not about protecting fair competition for female athletes when there is no one pushing for banning trans men from competition. If it were just about oppressing trans people there would be blanket bans, not only bans based on…

It is a tough situation. I want everyone to be able to pursue their goals, but I agree with the ruling. Transgender women who go through male puberty before transitioning have a natural advantage that is proven by science. It isn’t fairly to biological women to have to compete with them. Maybe we need new categories…

Why don’t we ever hear about transgender men being excluded from sports?
