Rules have to start somewhere and I think this is a good place to start. Competing against biological girls and on no hormonal treatment is just not fair to the other athletes.

By your logic, why not let Lebron James compete in HS basketball? He’s more gifted and a grown ass man, but so what? These kids gotta learn that losing is a part of life...

No I am not. I specifically stated a legitimate transition, not one to only win/make money, but it would still result in winning/making money with an unfair advantage. Also, please explain where I picked on a high schooler? What did I say that was mean or inappropriate?

“Meh. I don’t like the idea of rules that allows someone to decide if a competitor was born “girl enough.” I have a hard time believing that the thrill of victory is enough to overcome the rest of the crap people in this situation have to deal with. So let ‘em compete.”

And if your kids lose out on say an academic honor because other people cheated or plagiarized, would you consider that another learning experience?

Losing is a part of life. There’s no denying that. But denying biological make up in this case is silly. Specifically, the issue of how much testosterone is naturally in the competitors’ body. As the article notes, when it comes to athletics - more testosterone is an advantage. That’s why I think the testosterone…

If this is truly how you feel, then what’s the point of having males and females compete separately?

you are just simple... brainwashed enough yet are we?

That’s a shit take

I think I said this in the article last year, but hopefully it’s worth repeating. What we call “men’s” and “women’s” divisions are essentially testosterone-level divisions. The majority of men fall above some line (probably the line you suggest), the majority of women below that line, and if we want both populations…

As Sarah notes, this is a tricky issue. As far as where transgender people want to take a piss, that’s really their business - use whatever restroom you’re comfortable in. However, this kind of thing affects other people. The biological girls that got their asses kicked in these races have a legitimate gripe, in my,…

Being accused of navel gazing isn’t so bad, furthermore he is also saying this while two other people are still literally dead.

Usually I think I would be completely on the other side of this issue but I watched the whole video and it does seem odd to call out “white savior complex” at this point in time. Two white males were killed while in the act of intervening when a homicidal white suprematist was harassing two black women. I am…

Yes, I do. The world is a complex place. I knew when I was typing my comment that it would probably not be popular. 

Yeah, that kind of confused me. Those girls deserve a lot of emotional support but they aren’t dealing with medical bills or funeral costs over this. The donations to the families and victims are absolutely fine IMO.

I think it’s immensely, immensely and morally wrong how much money we have gotten as opposed to the money, love, kindness that has been given to that little girl.

Applauding those throughout history who have put their lives on the line to save racial or religious minorities shouldn’t detract from the suffering experienced by the victims.

Well I mean, they were verbally harassed and that was terrible. You were nearly fatally stabbed and two other men are actually dead. So while it is totally terrible what happened to those girls, i’m going to have to say the DEAD and WOUNDED are a bit worse for wear. Sorry dude.

Fletcher also indicted the notoriously liberal city of Portland for having a “white savior complex” (a problem with a lot of progressives), which lets them ignore the teens being targeted in favor of the white men who intervened. He then included a link to a fundraising page for the girls and encouraged viewers to…
