This is a deeply stupid man. Therefore he is the perfect American president. Seriously, Donald Trump is the president America deserves. We are deeply stupid.
They aren’t dragging *everyone* down, they’re setting a natural testosterone limit at well above 99.9999% of women’s testosterone levels to compete in sports where a mediocre male professional would dominate every women’s competition.
Yea. Absolutely with all this.
So, if Bolt started identifying as a women, he could compete in women’s events?
Er, she’s got un-descended testicles.
Nah, you can’t do this with sports that are split by sex specifically because of the advantage men have in most competitions. This is not about gender or what you identify with: there are objective biological considerations at play.
Yes, I’m sure that in the ultra-competitive world of elite athletic competition where athletes will do anything for an edge, the honor system will be the fairest.
You’re grossly naive
Deadspin is showing a gross lack of understanding of human anatomy and physiology and a strong adherence of sticking to presumed sides. Sorry, but the “liberal” side of this argument is wrong and destroys women’s and girls athletics. Sacrificing the many for the few is akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Everything about this article - including its headline - is patently false.
I’ve participated in this debate a billion times, and no matter where the line is drawn, SOMEONE will be mad about where the line is placed. However, it is a very foundation of sport that the separation of the sexes mandates a line be drawn.…
I know it sucked as a Canadian cheering for Melissa Bishop at the Olympics knowing she basically had no chance at winning because the 3 athletes ahead of her were high T suspects. Is it more important to be fair to the 3 that podium because they have a significant hormone advantage or fair to the others?
They’re doing it seemingly arbitrarily and blatantly inconsistently here, but what do you think the best solution is for determining eligibility for women’s sports? It’s gotta be something that’s measurable, right?
This is a good thing.
I think if you are willing to approach this subject honestly, it should be obvious that a line must be drawn somewhere. If not, the logic eventually leads to acceptance of a single “open” division between the sexes, effectively extinguishing women’s athletics.
It’s not the future we want, but it is the future we deserve.
So the villains of the coming Third World War will be Hipster Nazis who just use the N word “ironically”?
She had Spencer on and asked him to respectfully call her a negro/nigger/niggress?????!!!!!!!!
Yes, Pit Bulls are great dogs... up until the day you find yourself crawling under a car to escape it’s wrath. http://m.ctpost.com/news/article/Pit-bull-chews-off-owner-s-arm-hand-4976857.php
A reminder that if the dog is wearing a vest or a leather harness, do not pet it, do not talk to it, do not offer it food, and, in most cases, don’t ask to pet it. They are working and distraction can be dangerous for their handler.
